Cheryl, who used to own Godiva's when it was on Monroe Avenue, bought this black Lincoln on the northside of Rochester. She saw it advertised in the paper and had to have it. While she was looking at it, the previous owner's girlfriend, out of the line of sight from her boyfriend, was mouthing the words "don't buy it." But Cheryl would have nothing of it. This was a ride she could picture Tom Waits cruising around in. She bought it.

The excitement settled down and it was time to take care of a few problems like getting the passenger window to open all the way. She took it to the garage and they took the door apart. The mechanics found hundreds, maybe a thousand empty crack vials inside the door. The pile was so deep that the window had no place to go. They took the driver's side apart too and found the same thing. The previous owners apparently did business out of this thing and got in the habit of dropping the tiny containers down the little opening at the corner of the windows.
