Prompt: A person who purchases an old '67 Impala before finding out that it is haunted by either/both of the Winchester brothers...?
"Damn, that's a sweet car," Joe tells you, walking around your new ride to look at her from every angle. You pat the dashboard and smirk. "How much you'd pay for this old girl?" he asks.
"Got her dirt cheap from Bobby Singer," you say. "Couldn't wait to get her off his hands, the old fool."
Joe shook his head. "Don't know what my dad sees in him," Joe remarks, trailing his hands along the car. "His time's come and gone."
"Joey," you drawl, straightening in the seat, peering up at him through the window. "Wanna go for a ride?"
"Fuck, yeah!" he says, hurrying around the Impala and yanking open the door, sliding shotgun.
Before shifting into drive, you glance in the rearview. For a moment, you see a man, his hazel eyes wide and sad, blood dripping down his face.
But only for a moment, and ghosts don't scare you. Not in this new world the Winchesters paid for with their lives.
Drive, you hear. Sunset's callin'.
You smile at Joe, and do.

He didn't exorcise her first of the boy(s)? Woah...
And, that man in the back seat could be either one, I'm thinking Dean because she was HIS Baby, but she was Sam's only true home as well...hazel eyes could really apply to both.
So they did save the world, and ghosts are no longer frightening.
Unless the New World is in itself so frightening that ghosts are a mere piffle on the screen...the Winchesters managed to save existence (other people's, anyway) but who knows what's ambulating out there?
What a great little story. I just wish the man in the back seat was a happier ghost.

You are honestly one of my favorite writers because you can create a very short piece, but in those few paragraphs there is epic beauty, and I love that about your work. Great Job!!
