The context of the following conversation is Austin's plan proved a little difficult to carry out, so Austin abandoned the plan altogether.:
Austin says Remember me telling you I was finally going to get around to restoring that old car in the back?.
The friend responds Yes, did you do it?.
Austin responds Well I tried but I realized I didn't even have half of the tools or parts I would need.
The friend responds Can you get the things you need and then try again?.
Austin responds No it is going to be too expensive, I'll just sell the car as is and not do the restore on it.
The friend responds I guess that is a valid option, but I know you really like that car!.
