I wondered if this was why Dean wasn't driving it.
From the fact that Dean didn't outright get rid of the car, or the leather jacket and the journal, and the way he looked at the jacket . . . I think he put aside almost all the trappings of his past except for what was smart and practical. and by his reaction to the jacket, it's a painful reminder of his old life. His old life that included Sam.
And he can't let those reminders go, and he also can't stand the daily visual reminders. And so I think his offer to Sam of the impala is a way to give it life again without involving himself. But I think it's just as hard for Sam. The car represents something the neither of them have anymore.
I wonder if fandom has checked to see if there was a Campbell on the Mayflower yet.
Most Campbells then would have been Scottish, I think, but you never know.
No Campbells. Maybe they stowed away.
Did he say Campbell or ancestor?
He said ancestor so their name could be anything. I just wondered about the Campbells. Now I want to meet John's family.
Ion, Colin Ford is guesting on Hawaii Five O tonight. Still amazingly cute kid.
I meant to go straight to that scene and check, but I seem to be rewatching more than that.
God, I love Jensen's face. Good face.
From a purely non-emotional, practical perspective: the Impala gets crappy gas mileage. From what I could find when Googling, it gets somewhere between 16-19 miles per gallon. It's more and more difficult to find replacement parts. And it makes it easier for any law enforcement agency seeking a Winchester to spot the driver.
[link] will give you more details (technically for the 68). Primary source materials, baby!
Realistically, it's a huge bear of a tank to fill and munches fuel like popcorn, but the same could probably be said of the truck he was driving. (What was that truck? Someone get a make/model on it?)
Dean's truck is a Ford F150 (wait, google says maybe F250)--that much I'm impressed with myself for having noticed. Web research says it's 88 or 89.
