Further, police would show up and support him at the scene.

22-year-old Darlene Farrin and her friend, 19-year-old Michael Mago, were sitting in her brown Corvair in the Blue Rock Springs Park.
Bailey SarianHOST
I guess it was like a golf course or something, but they're in the parking lot.
Bailey SarianHOST
So Darlene, she was, she was young, right? 22.
Dave KinneyGUEST
It's a, you know, I mean, it's like what the day your daughter gets married is, you know, one of those days maybe.
Dave KinneyGUEST
And, uh, you know, the day that you walk out of the place that you worked at for years with your head held high, that you did your best job, you know, it's one of those things, and it was very much that way for me, because the Avani was important to my life, my lifestyle, my well-being, and everything else, and, you know, I think we, as guys especially, we don't like to say that, but I think that you know that there's a time, everyone knows a car guy that That maybe it was a Corvette, maybe it was a Corvair, maybe it was a Volkswagen Beetle.
Dave KinneyGUEST
It was the thing that kept you sane in an unsane world.

Harrison GeorgeHOST
Three jokes almost back-to-back that are brand new to me and I could laugh at for the first time.
Harrison GeorgeHOST
One, they referred to the spacecraft as Corvair, which is a 1960s brand of Chevy.
Harrison GeorgeHOST
Do you guys get this joke? No.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Mm-mm.
RayHOST
When I look at this list, it reminds me of Ralph Nader, who was a consumer advocate in the 60s, 70s, 80s.
RayHOST
And he wrote a book about the Chevrolet Corvair, unsafe at any speed or whatever it was.
RayHOST
And so I look at these and it's like unsold at any discount.
RayHOST
It's like you can't discount these enough to persuade people to come in and buy them.
