Sammy,
I was sitting at Peter's desk going over my car's option list and I asked him how to get to Tony's to take some pictures of your car. He said your car wasn't at Tony's but at another painter. Then he got in a panic because he thought he sent it to the wrong painter.
Then he called both painters and neither had it.
We knew it wasn't on the floor. You should have seen his face. Mustache was drooping. The plot thickened. Ergo the beginning of the legend of the missing ERA.
