Conversation I had with my dad today as we were outside the supermarket.

• me:   *notices a cab that just so happens to be the modern make of a chevy impala*
• me:   ew
• dad:   what?
• me:   is that what impalas look like anymore? that's an awful looking car.
• dad:   you know, impalas used to be really nice cars. my friend had one when i was younger
• me:   what year was the model?
• dad:   uhh, '67 i think, with a really nice black paint job. yeah, they used to be beautiful cars, huge with four doors. then they modernized it and turned it into that *points to new impala* you have no idea how nice this car was
• me:   i know how awesome impalas are, i want one really bad. well a classic anyway.
• dad:   i remember one time, he was gonna sell it... i think he kept it though. i should've bought it.
• me:   why didn't you?
• dad:   he moved away or i didn't have enough money, i don't remember.
• me:   that sucks.
• dad:   come to think of it, i didn't see him much
• me:   why not?
• dad:   i don't know, he liked road trips a lot. he always came back after some time but he was gone a lot.
• me:   what was his name?
• dad:   john.
