This reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song, about a guy who slowly steals a caddy off the assembly line...and it kinda goes like this:

I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime- you'll notice me when I come through your town.

Gonna ride around in style, gonna drive everybody wild."Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

Well, it's a 49-50-51-52-53-54-55-56-57-58-59 automobile.
