"When they tried to fit the puzzle pieces together, however, they wouldn’t join properly—the warp and weft threads didn’t run smoothly from one tile to the next. The differences were vast.

Perhaps you'd like to slip behind the wheel of a DeLorean from the Back to the Future movies, or K.I.T.T. or the Bandit's Trans Am. For the right price, you could own theBlack Beauty or the (driveable!) Flintmobile or the '67 GTO driven by Triple X or even William Shatner.
