I mean, again, it's a miracle that we made it home in one piece.

But then not to mention, I still had like another two, three weeks to hide the car at my house

in my garage.

And where we live, word gets out pretty fast.

So I couldn't drive the car, I couldn't have to hide this thing until he got home.

And then I remember calling him and saying, hey, I bought a car because before we left,

we made a pass.

We're not buying any cars.

It's like, not going to happen.

And he has his whole temper tantrum.

And then all of a sudden, I roll up to the house and he's just speechless.

And it just, it was so much fun.

It was, it was.
