He had the grace to sound contrite this time.

This has become downright Becketty.

Goddamn. I'm beginning to wonder how Matt has gotten this far in life without say, accidentally setting himself on fire while trying to tie his shoes. This kind of stupidity takes effort.

I'm...fascinated to see how this will all turn out.

I WONDER WHAT THEY'D SAY IF YOU TOLD THEM YOU WERE GONNA PAY THEM TOMORROW?

...you know, the sort of "tomorrow" that never comes. Not actually really tomorrow.

Maybe he... just wants you to really appreciate your car?

Sorry, I'm runnin' outta silver lining, here. I got nothin'.

I love how Matt has his own tag.

I so think we need to send the henchmen over. They can take care of Matt, and then fix the car, so everyone wins!

Was thinking that very thing.
Yeah, 'cause who doesn't need henchmen? C'mon. Easily as good as minions. Plus, fixed car & win.

Or Pythonesque ... the car parts place with no car parts.

Maybe you should offer him a dead parrot?

At least you still have your sense of humor.

Although at this point, I would highly recommend a chainsaw.

I am stunned and amazed and... stunned some more, actually, that he's even GOT a business. This is one of those places that won't be there the day after you get your car back. There'll be a brick wall or an empty lot or something.

Which would be cool, 'cause mebbe you wouldn't have to pay.
I'm still about half convinced you SHOULDN'T pay now.

*joins the chorus* 'Fuck you, Matt. Fuck you, Matt...."

My guess is that he accidentally gave the car to a different customer and he has been trying to get it back all the time since.

:D That would be kind of awesome. I'm seeing one of those painted near-caricature 60s movie posters, possibly with James Garner.

The ones where the heads are almost as big as the bodies, yes? Yes , I can see that.

Inevitably, the wrong customer is someone with a name like "Vincenco the Hand", and for plotwise questionable reasons he developed a strong attachment to the car, or even more likely it was meant to be a present for his beloved mother. And even more inevitably, when Matt eventually steals it back there is a body in the car trunk.

So, make sure you get your car back without any bodies and give the car a new, very different looking coating, is what I'm getting it. That is, unless you are keen to participate in the "tied back-to-back with Matt in an old storehouse that will catch fire in the course of your awkward escape attempts" scene.

And make sure you check the spare tire well. They're always putting stuff in there in the films.

It's a tiny car. It...doesn't actually have one. There are a couple of secret compartments, though, and a black hole under the front seat.

He accidentally sent your car to the 8th dimension and doesn't know how to tell you. imo.
