So your car got hit by the megavolt virus huh?"I laughed. There were no hicks anymore with the advent of nineties technology."Say ... I could trailer ...our Caddy to the Chevy dealer in town, that'd give you a little head start on getting her fixed."Rhonda piped up."That's a great idea, Joey." She hugged him.
