During an interview with Digital Spy, Ackles said, “As far as taking something on the final day, I will definitely be taking something that I’ve had my eye on since day one of Supernatural. But it’s OK, I’m not stealing it. I got permission. I begged and begged and pleaded for years, but I finally got it this year. They’re going to let me drive home the Impala.”
