In the center of the frame stands a 2022 Shelby Mustang GT 500 in Eruption Green with bold black racing stripes running down its hood and trunk. The car's aggressive stance and sculpted bodywork dominate the composition. Colleen, a red-haired woman in her early 60s, stands frozen several feet away, her eyes locked on the vehicle. Her posture is still, almost reverent. Other dealership customers blur in the background, oblivious to the drama unfolding in the foreground.

Narrator:“One day I walked into Oliver Ford and everything changed.”

Panel 2:A medium close-up of Colleen's face as she stares at the car. Her eyes are wide, pupils dilated with wonder. A subtle smile plays at the corners of her mouth. She slowly raises her hand, extending it toward the vehicle as if drawn by an invisible force, though she doesn't touch it.

Narrator:“I'd never seen anything so beautiful. So breathtaking.”

Panel 3:A detailed insert shot of the Shelby's front grille and hood, showcasing the aggressive design, the prominent Shelby badge, and the pristine black racing stripes that slash down the center. Chrome catches light, emphasizing every curve and muscle line. The paint gleams like liquid emerald.

Panel 4:Colleen standing beside the Shelby, her hand finally touching the hood. Her eyes are closed, and her expression is peaceful, almost spiritual. Matt stands in the background, watching with professional interest. He wears his characteristic cowboy hat and a carhartt jacket, his long silvery bushy beard reaching to his chest. The car dominates half the frame, with Colleen's silhouette framed against its muscular side panel.

“Colleen: How much?”

Panel 5:A two-shot of Colleen and Matt. He stands with arms crossed over his carhartt jacket, his cowboy hat tilted back slightly, his long silvery beard catching the dealership light. His expression is neutral but professional. Colleen's face shows visible tension—her jaw tightens, her eyes widen slightly as he speaks. She nods slowly, processing information that clearly troubles her. The Shelby looms in the background, slightly out of focus.

“Colleen: That's... a lot more than I expected.”

Panel 6:Colleen walking toward the dealership exit, her posture deflated, shoulders slightly hunched. She glances back over her shoulder at the Shelby one last time, her expression bittersweet. The car sits gleaming in the showroom, indifferent to her departure. Daylight is visible through the glass doors ahead.

Narrator:“I went home and tried to figure out how to afford it.”

Panel 1:An interior shot of Colleen's home office. She sits at a desk surrounded by financial documents, a calculator, and her laptop displaying vehicle listings and pricing guides. Her face is illuminated by the screen's glow. She's leaning back in her chair, one hand on her chin, clearly deep in thought. A framed photo on her desk shows her two beloved cars: a classic 1972 Plymouth Duster with a vibrant orange body and black convertible top, and a vibrant 1996 Ford Mustang GT in Bright Tangerine. Photos of classic cars line the walls behind her. The room is quiet, intimate, suggesting solitude and serious contemplation about sacrifice.

Narrator:“I hemmed and hawed for weeks. But the Shelby never left my mind.”

Panel 2:A montage-style panel showing Colleen's two other cars parked in her garage: a classic 1972 Plymouth Duster with a vibrant orange body and black convertible top, featuring its iconic compact muscle-car profile, and a vibrant 1996 Ford Mustang GT in Bright Tangerine, gleaming with chrome and vintage charm. Both are well-maintained and beautiful in their own right, but lack the raw presence of the Shelby. Colleen stands between them, hands on her hips, her expression resolute—a decision has been made. She's looking at these cars with affection and gratitude, saying goodbye to beloved machines to chase an even bigger dream.

Narrator:“And then I was on vacation.”

Panel 3:Colleen standing on a vacation beach, ocean and palm trees visible behind her. She holds her phone to her ear, her expression brightening with sudden clarity. The sun is high and warm. She's wearing casual vacation clothes, and her posture shifts from relaxed to energized. A smile spreads across her face as an idea crystallizes. In her mind's eye, she's pictured the two cars she's willing to let go: the classic 1972 Plymouth Duster and the vibrant 1996 Ford Mustang GT in Bright Tangerine—beloved machines, but not THE machine.

“Colleen: I'm going to sell them. Both of them.”

Narrator:“And then I was on vacation. And I realized what I had to do.”

Panel 4:Colleen back home, sitting on her couch with her phone in hand, scrolling through dealership contacts. Her finger hovers over the call button to Oliver Ford. Her expression is determined but tinged with nervous anticipation. The living room is quiet, sunlight streaming through windows, creating sharp geometric shadows on the walls.

Narrator:“But before I could call the dealership...”

Panel 5:Colleen's phone rings. She pulls it away from her ear, staring at the caller ID in shock. The name 'MATT' is visible on the screen. Her face registers surprise and concern—something in her expression suggests she fears what he might say. She sits up straighter, bracing herself.

“Colleen: Hello? Matt?”

Panel 6:A split panel showing Colleen on one side, phone pressed to her ear, her face falling as she listens. On the other side, we see a silhouetted figure of Matt (visible only as a shadow) also on the phone. Colleen's expression darkens—hope draining away. The composition emphasizes distance and bad news traveling across phone lines.

“Matt: The Shelby sold. I'm so sorry.”

Panel 1:Colleen sitting motionless on her couch, the phone still in her hand but now resting on her lap. Her face is blank, staring at nothing.

Panel 4:Colleen picking up the phone, her face initially confused. As she listens, her expression transforms—eyes widening, eyebrows rising, mouth opening slightly in shock. The mug is forgotten, lowered to the table. Her entire body seems to energize as she hears whatever the caller is saying.

“Colleen: You want to sell it?”

Panel 5:Colleen standing now, the phone pressed tightly to her ear. She's animated, alive—her free hand gestures expressively as she speaks. Her face glows with excitement and disbelief. The kitchen seems brighter around her, as if her energy has transformed the space. She's nodding vigorously, even though the caller can't see her.

“Colleen: Yes. Yes, absolutely. When can we do this?”

Panel 6:A wide shot of Colleen's garage on a cold winter day. The garage door is open, and a 2022 Shelby Mustang GT 500 in vibrant Eruption Green metallic paint with bold black racing stripes is being carefully backed into the space by a tow truck driver. The car features a low, powerful stance and a Vermont license plate reading 'W1CKED' on the rear bumper. Colleen stands to the side, arms wrapped around herself, watching with tears streaming down her face. Her expression is one of pure joy and disbelief. The Eruption Green paint gleams even in the cold daylight. W1CKED is home.
