The auto shop returned Rock's '09 Chevy Impala, but when he walked out to look at it, he saw immediately that they had replaced its broken steering wheel with the steering wheel from the '94 Toyota Camry he had totaled and given away for scrap two years earlier.
Rock always liked the old wheel's style and still did. It was from a classic design, made of wood and leather and chrome, but whereas it fit the Camry perfectly, it was far too large for the Impala. Its top was right in his line of sight in the newer car. Regardless, someone from the shop had apparently come to get it. When Rock woke back up at daybreak, he walked out again to see the original steering wheel was back in place. He thought it would have been nice had they put a new one in, since the old one was worn through to the steel in places, but he didn't want to mess with it anymore. For one thing, he needed to leave an hour or so later to cover a road race for the paper.
He wondered why anyone had even bothered to get his car in the first place. Perhaps he needed something to eat.
