i already had a car and didnt know what to do with another one , but my uncle dave , who dealt in all things automotive and shady and who owned the car graveyard here in the sticks , offered me the abandoned acres of boheme in exchange for the vehicle because , as he said , `` look blaise , i got me a texas oil man lined up who 'll pay top dollar for that car , and you already have that thunderbird i pieced together for you from spare parts , but those acres , they 'll always be there and if the city ever really ever builds out here again those acres will be worth something .
