She was referring to when they dated in college...not when he was a senator.
Even though, was the interior gone from it as well? Being able to see the pavement go by through a hole in the door makes one wonder if there was a door at all? maybe she was thinking of that giant hole in the door that is usually occupied by the glass?
Then again, when I was in Chi-town for business during the winter is when I learned of “beaters” that people drove around just so their good cars wouldn’t be driven around on the salty roads.
They DID NOT date in college! According to the ad nauseum recollections of the “first kiss” (remember the newly installed commemorative plaque near the Baskin & Robbins in Chicago?)...she was WORKING in at a law firm and Barry had just started his “community organizing.”. They were “fixed up”.
Can even keep the little lies straight.
