He was able to save up enough money to buy the car, only to learn that the person who\u2019d be driving it the most over the next few years would be the tow truck driver.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAnd this is before Paul mentions that the car, at one point, caught on fire\u2026<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDrive Tastefully\u00ae<br \/>\n<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/Petrolicious.com<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/facebook.com\/Petrolicious","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI\u2019ve fallen in love.
