" - that's a Delorian!" His tone suggests the man does not appreciate his overabundance of luck.
"..um, I've got a - " quick, don't call it a crapmobile " - Toyota. If you really want to trade. But seriously, Delorians are neat cars. You should keep it."
"Yes," comes the bored reply. "I'm quite aware of the make, thank you. The thought of how frightfully the hideous beast would clash with my wife's other cars makes me shudder."
Then the man looks up, though he's still leaning on his fist. "Well, I was thinking of something more classic. What make is your Toyota?"
He laughs. "It's a 2002 Toyota Corolla, repainted this year. I honestly don't think you'd want to be anywhere near it. Maybe if you thought of the Delorian as complementing or contrasting with the other cars?"
A pause.
" - and possibly another coat of paint." Metody thinks it's just lovely, but Metody is a man who willingly wears sequined Hawaiian shirts in public.
"Hmm. Corollas are supposedly classic in their own right, but it would clash just as badly as this beastly thing. You see, my wife fancies Barracudas and Corvettes and the like. And she has a most fetching cobalt blue Shelby Cobra."
For some reason his smirk as he talks about that last car is nearly insufferably smug.
"Ah...given how expensive and valued those cars are, I suspect anyone who owns one actually wants to own it, and isn't very likely to trade it off on a whim."
He looks over the car. " - and yeah, mine would definitely clash. There are, um, aesthetic differences between worlds."
"I've seen much stranger things happen here in the Nexus." The smirk turns to languid amusement. "And I'm quite willing to take a damaged vehicle. My wife and my eldest son simply love putting them back together."
He grins. "Well, if you change your mind about wanting a strictly middle quality and elaborately painted Corolla, look me up. Otherwise, I wish you luck."
