I saw a Superbird roll out of my neighborhood on a rollback this weekend.

When I first moved to Apex in 1992, I occasionally saw an orange Superbird drive out of the neighborhood and come back about ten minutes later. The paint was dull and the car looked a little tired, but it was solid. All of the homes are on big lots, and the owner lived in a house with a nice garage at the back of the subdivision . One day I was at my mailbox and I saw the Superbird coming, so I flagged him down and we talked. He bought the car new right after he got out of college.

I haven't seen him or the car in probably 10 - 15 years, pretty much forgot about it. But this weekend I saw a rollback coming out of the neighborhood with the Superbird on the back. There are several car guys in my neighborhood who have tried to buy it over the years with no success. I don't know him personally, but he's probably at least in his 80s. I've been meaning to ask some of the neighbors how he's doing. I hope it's just going to a mechanic for some repairs.
