I just found out that it’s in town, being restored, and I’m thinking that given how disappointing the new Star Wars films were, George really doesn’t deserve the car, so she needs to be liberated, and I need a crack commando squad to pull it off. They allow free tours, so we’ll be able to do plenty of reconnaissance before hand. Any volunteers to help out? ---

Why’d he send it all the way to Tennessee? I’d have volunteered to help out if he was having the work done closer to Skywalker Ranch! ---

Steal the Tucker, replace it with a Buick LeSabre and tell Lucas you’ve gone back and enhanced his car and now it looks like you’ve always wanted it to look. He’ll buy that. ---

I’m in! Do we wait until the resto is done, or swipe it when it’s in pieces and rebuild it ourselves? > [@Mr. Blue Sky](#): > > Steal the Tucker, replace it with a Buick LeSabre and tell Lucas you’ve gone back and enhanced his car and now it looks like you’ve always wanted it to look. No, a Corvair! It’s air-cooled and rear engined, like a Tucker. It’s been _improved_! Good ta have you back Tuckerfan! ---

Ok, here’s the plan, we’ll all sneak in hidden in the trunk of some old hunk o’ junk that gets towed in for repair. I’ll disguise myself as a mechanic and go looking for the car. Meanwhile, you go find the alarm system and cut its power. We’ll all meet up back at the car and drive away. And, for heaven’s sake, if someone should discover you, don’t just stand there and take it. ---
