His boot was full of the toys she had bought him. Sheepskin seat covers, new mats, a first aid kit, a car cover and numerous cleaning and polishing products. Naturally she had shod his feet with brand new shiny nineteen inch mag wheels. Together they drove into the darkness now lit up by the glow from his eyes. He a brand new much desired speed machine.
