Agbanyeghị, ọ maara ebe e nwere otu nnukwu ihe mkpuchi Pacer Hardtop nke na-enweghị moto ma ọ bụ igbe, ya mere o ji gbapụta ya. Ugbu a, tupu anyị enweta ozi ịkpọasị sitere n'aka ndị Mopar na-akwado igbu Simon maka ịghọ ezigbo Pacer, ị nwere ike ịchọ ịnụ ya.

“Ụgbọala ahụ gbagwojuru anya mgbe m nwetara ya. Ọ nọ n'ụzọ ya na-aga ebe a na-edebe ihe mkpofu, m ga-achọ iche na echekwara m ya,” ka ọ kọwara. Ọ ka mma ịmụghachi ya dịka onye na-agba ọsọ karịa imegharị ya ka ọ bụrụ ihe mkpofu.
