Darian nods. "That, we could do. You do the negotiations, though. Since the rest of us don't know very much about these cars."

Tully says, "Yeah, that would be cool. Let's get a Edsel!"

Zanax snorts. "Maybe we can trade in Lo and Wang for a rusty bicycle."

Wang stands up for himself.

"Watch it, you walking rule book!"

Watney goes inside to the show room, while you wait outside.

Fifteen minutes later he comes back out, looking very pleased and rubbing his hands.

"They didn't have any Edsels, but I've got us something that's just as good, they tell me. They're bringing it around now."

You wait with a growing feeling of excited anticipation.

Finally, your new car comes puttering around from the back of the building...

A 1974 Ford Pinto!

The sales rep climbs out of the driver's seat and comes over to you. He is a demon of some sort in a loud checked suit.

"Have fun!" he says, handing Watney the keys.

"Oh, joy," mutters Wang, drooping. "We won't pick up many girls with that."


Next day...
