Before
- "It's still just a neon."
- "All that for a neon?"

After
- "Wow..."

I heard this the other day

Me : "Tell me about the motor, history, whats been done"

Car Owner : "I've had the motor rebuilt. It's a JDM motor. It's my only ride at the moment, so when shit breaks I order parts overnight from Japan or California."

Inside I giggled, because it made me think of FNF. If things break I get what I need to fix the car no matter where it comes from.
