But, as to the main point...

Let's say that you bought your car, instead of leasing it, implying that
you don't need to bring it back in the same condition in which you
received it. In fact you might have bought so that you could modify to

So, are you going to customize Impala? Or are you going to customize
_the_ Impala?
