Part 2/8:
The initial vehicle, a Subaru, was purchased from a woman in Espanola. Having only 141,000 miles on it, the car was in running condition when acquired, albeit in need of a new windshield. This context was crucial since the protagonist aimed to pull out the motor, which had already been successfully transplanted into another car. The remaining body, featuring a notably well-maintained interior with black cloth seats, stood out among its typically neglected counterparts.
