"I was so angry! I got out the car, that day, in the middle of the off ramp, and I threw the guy my car keys. I told him I’d trade lives with him any day, and he kind of looked at me with shock, and a little bit of fear.

Probably stuck in the city impound, waiting for me to come and get her, still."
