Part 2/8:
At the junkyard, Herby encountered Dave, the yard's owner, who had little understanding of the car's history and emotions. A truck driver warned Dave not to provoke Herby, hinting that the car was too proud to endure humiliation. The struggle between Dave and Herby illustrated the character of the car—resilient yet wounded. Herby attempted a daring escape but was thwarted by punctured tires and a heavy heart, resigning itself to the knowledge that its end was near.
