As long as the "get by" car isn't used as the "get a way" car, things should be fine.
A way for what? Oh wait...
It's okay, a get away car is never necessary when at Alabama. We all know most have left the scene in this type of car before even getting to the get away car... Shoot, they've even been so kind as to replace windshields in some of them.
Our criminals are better than your criminals.
