I'm wondering where Monique got all the parts to fix Lane's car. When he comes out and finds her working on it, the alternator, water pump and distributor with wires are laying on the ground but she starts it right up and it purrs like a kitten.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the car is not going to get very far without those parts. lol Maybe she stole the parts from Ricky's mom's car.

"Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters [Not sure which version, I think there's more than one].

It was also used in "Risky Business", but again it might be a different version.

Now playing: Automan http://saturdayshowcase.blogspot.com/

Muddy Waters recorded this song several times, both studio and live versions.

People also confuse this with the very similar Willie Dixon penned song, Hoochie Choochie Man, which Muddy Waters also recorded.

Wow, awesome story! Thanks sargesmash! I'm a huge Better Off Dead fan and a car nut myself, and the fact that this car was recovered and so well taken care of is just fantastic!

Thanks again!
