Upland, CA
At the show's opening, Meredith stands next to London, introducing her with, "This massage therapist is living in her parents' garage. It's a good thing they let her out, so she can win a million on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."
London is living in the garage because there's no extra room in the garage, so all they could think of was to take some stuff out of the garage and "fill it up with me."
Meredith wants to know, "So where's the car?"
The car is in the front of the driveway and it's wrecked because her dad got rear-ended, so it's smashed in sitting in the driveway and they can't tow it until it's permanently his and they obviously can't put it in the garage because she's in there, so there's nowhere to put it.
