Legacy Supplement

• Oil change, 4.5 litres WD30 (Premium Brand)
• New Oil Filter
• Transmission Fluid Change
• New Air Filter
• 30 litres Fuel (87 octane)
• Basic Wash

Thus refreshed, the ailing Legacy heads out for reshoots, the first set of "proof prints" having come back from the Lab and been found wanting. But circumstances keep interfering. The VPD is making a solicitation arrest at Hastings & Glen, and parking the Legacy adjacent to the cruiser, the cuffed, cracked-out hooker, and the cuffed, disreputable-looking john doesn't seem like a plausible plan. OK, option #2: back into rush-hour Vancouver. No Stopping Anytime at Pender and Burrard, plus a nasty lip on the curb that looks like it would strip the muffler if I tried to climb it. Fine then, option #3: Stanley Park. A cyclist has come down one of the park's dirt trails too fast and collided with a silver SUV on Park Drive. Ambulance, fire trucks, etc., lights flashing. The unconscious bloody cyclist is strapped to a traction board, and lifted into the back of the ambulance, which splits at high speed, siren wailing. The long line of stalled traffic slowly begins to move again.
