The old man bought his Ciera after he totaled his ‘83 Omega. That Omega’s electrical system fried and left him stranded on the side of the road - on the day he bought it! (He special ordered it - Same day it came off the truck from the plant.)

And he would go on to buy another new Olds in 91 - they kept getting worse!
