Arnie brings Christine to a do-it-yourself garage run by Will Darnell, who is suspected of using the garage as a front for illicit operations. Frightened, Dennis decides he dislikes Christine. While waiting for Arnie to finish the paperwork, Dennis sits inside Christine and has a vision of the car and the surroundings as they were when the car was new, 20 years before. LeBay, an elderly man wearing a back brace, sells the car, which he had named "Christine", to Arnie for $250.
Arnie makes Dennis stop so he can examine the car, despite Dennis' attempts to talk him out of it.
