The plan was to pull the car out into the sun, get some great angles, and provide you with a few beauty shots. Unfortunately, the transmission isn’t cooperating at the moment.

Unless I’m talking about a specific Tom Cruise movie, or that story about Sleepy Hollow, I don’t normally like to use the term legend around here.
