cast your mind back to an episode that we recorded in automotive team god knows how long and i think it was a q a and someone asked a question about buying a car back and i said oh can i have one car back be the caprice

yes i

remember that um bought it back almost a year ago to the day or about a week or two away from from that and um you go well why are you selling well mixture of stuff It wasn't how I remembered it because of Netflix, but that's not a dig at Netflix.

It's a whole other story.

It's just how the cookie crumbles and desire to move on and try other things, other experiences.

But that doesn't mean I don't care for the car and selling it was still a very bittersweet thing, you know.

Yeah.

And I was like, who's going to get it? And the guy who brought the car into the country texted me.

I went,

oh, like, you

know,

it's me.

I went, no, no, no, I remember you.

Yeah, absolutely.

I had texted him when I bought the car back.

I texted him and was trying to get some more info and dig through its history.

And I actually found the guy who built the car in Poland originally.

Right.

Back in like 2009 or something.

Yes, yeah.

And was chatting with him and he had pictures of it like framed in his house.

Oh my God.
