Mother and son are jointly accused of using a worthless check to buy their $14,000 Lincoln Town Car--the charge for which they are now locked up in a New York jail. They...

We see water explode off sheet metal. --Interior shot..we see water drops dancing down the windshield. --The dryer caresses the windshield. --The Grand Vitara emerges from the car wash. --From inside, we see the towel boy waiting in awe. --Reverse angle as Grand Vitara emerges.
