Gopi's new car

We had a visit from Mr. Smith, Gopi's employer, this week. We didn't know what the meeting was about and neither did Gopi. When Mr. Smith and his wife Julia arrived we all sat down at the dining room table, awaiting the subject of their visit.
Mr. Smith said, "We heard you will be staying for another two years." Erik interjected, "Uh... it could be 5 months, or maybe another year." to that Smith replied, "We have a gift for you be that you're here 1 more month or several years..."

Then he took us outside to see our new Toyota Innova. Of course, there is hardly any difference between our new 2010 Innova and our previous 2007 Innova.

Gopi was extremely honored and as surprised as we were. The car exchange happened that evening so Gopi went through the old car moving all items into the new car.
