-       Before I talk about the Challenger, I have to give an honorable

mention to the Focus.  It gave Bryan dozens of safe rides to and from LSU.

It allowed him to hang out with us in Belle Chasse on a recurring basis.

One would have thought that the Focus was a Rolls-Royce considering how well

Bryan took care of that car. I used to compliment him all the time on how

well he took care of it from both a cleanliness standpoint and maintenance.

It spoke to his character, his attention to detail and his passion for

excellence. 

 

I see the Focus, one of the ‘Focui’ because Angela also owned a Focus as an example of taking care of the little things until you are blessed with the bigger thing.  Speaking of the Focui, we had a lot of fun comparing the two. Angela’s had a sub-wolfer in the trunk (really) a sunroof, heated seats and remote trunk release. We used to mess with Bo and press the trunk release and say, Hey Bryan, can your car do this?  (click, lick, click)

 

 

-       I’m very proud of the fact that I was able to go with him and help

him pick out his first car.  I’m also very proud of the way that he handled

business as a true professional.

The white stripe:  So when we went to look at the car, Bryan had done some

virtual shopping and he knew that he wanted a Challenger.  We first looked

at a dark blue one. He liked it but it was not quite what he was looking

for. He saw one that had a white stripe.  The salesman said that they could

remove the white stripe with no residue or evidence of the stripe. I,

frankly didn’t believe them. Bryan did, was confident that they could remove

the stripe and really wanted that car.   

 

Bo and I went to lunch at Cracker Barrel, returned and, the rest (as they

say) is history. White stripe removed with no residue or evidence of the

stripe.  Of course he bought the car and LOVED it! He was very proud of it

and I was very proud of how he handled the business transaction and am

honored to have been part of the purchase process with him.

 

I have the car and do my best to keep it in pristine condition.  I plan to

keep it forever.  It will one day be a classic.  I’m planning a few

modifications that I know that B will love.
