There are variations of this story with different car pics floating around the internet. But the story is the same play by play. Under ten minutes, $250 fee, prescription, was it so necessary, etc. etc. (for example: https://www.facebook.com/groups/539020435081553/posts/1297759285874327/)

Just meant for engagement.

Speaking of. I have one of these in my neighborhood. Yesterday, a neighbor and I were looking at it and discussing whether or not we could pull off the panels with our bare hands.

Felt like a 50/50 prospect.
