Is This a Ghost?

89. The Ghost of James Dean's Car

No, you read that right. This is not the story of James Dean's ghost. This is the story of James Dean's car's ghost. We will not be taking any questions. (But yeah, okay, we talk about James Dean's ghost, too.)

This is the story of the Ghost of James Dean's Car. Come for the ghost, stay for friends with Lego benefits, the Fightin’ Lady Fingers, one tiny mistake, live fast, live long, getaway ambulance, advice from people named after Muppets, big royal inbred car, and (James Dean’s) good bones.
