i've got a part time job working at the local mall this week and as i was pulling in i spotted a red festiva L, and i thought "should i go leave a note?" but decided that i needed to eat my T-bell before i went to work.
so i headed to my area of the lot to park and i see another festiva but its a 93 teal GL. well i parked way out next to it and was writing a quick not to the owner when i hear someone tapping on my window. i look and this old guys saying to me "looks like they found each other". it was his car and we got to talk for a little bit. his name is Virgil Hall and told me that he had seen my car the day before, and i told him i've seen his car a round town and that i've always thought it was in great shape.
i asked if he was the first owner and he said no that it was a rental car and was wrecked with 5k miles on it and was considered totaled. (crazy i know). soon after that his nephew bought it and fixed it up and sold it to him. hes had it since 5,000 miles, and it only has 73,000! i told him "Virgil its barely broken in!". it has some rust and a few dings and dents but is in otherwise great shape. i gave him my number if he ever needed parts and told him about he site (but i don't think he much of an internet type)
it was great to talk to him about his car. i hope to get the chance again when i'm not so rushed.
