When Dustin’s sister, Jessica, sells her old car to him, he takes his time repairing it and bringing it to its former glory. But one day, Jessica storms into his house, demanding the car back. Luckily, Dustin had already installed his backup plan…To be frank with you, I never thought a beat-up old car could become the center of family drama, but here we are. It all started when my older sister, Jessica, decided to “gift” me her old car. Well, “gift” might be stretching it a bit because she sold it to me for a symbolic amount.
The car was in bad shape. I mean, the tires were flat, there was rust under the hood, and the paint was practically peeling off. It had been sitting in our parents’ garage for years, just gathering layers of dust. But as a 22-year-old car enthusiast, I saw potential where others saw a junkyard candidate. “There’s something there, Gabi,” I told my girlfriend when we sat at a fast-food joint. “I know it doesn’t seem like a great opportunity, but it is. There’s a lot I can do with the car.””Fine, Dustin,” she laughed, eating her fries. “You do what you have to. But don’t get your hopes up until Jessica actually gives it to you.”
