When he got there he discovered that the truck had a rebuilt motor that had been really beefed up with a close ratio geared transmission. In other words there was nothing economical about this truck, it was a street racer.

Willie was a little upset, but did not show it, he just asked if he could take it for a quick drive to which the seller agreed. Willie got in, fired it up and proceeded to smoke the tires all the way down the street before bringing it back and telling him it wasn't what he was looking for.
