Hi.

I saw this movie on middle of 1980´s.

Young man get employed on old man´s gas station. Gas station lies somewhere on desert or beside of desert.

Once old man commands young man to polish old scrap cars.

During storm they are sitting on pick-up and drinking and looking lightning.

Young man visiting on town and he have a girl there. When he comes back old man is sitting on yard on some kind of trance.

Finally when one car comes to station young man get to know there is not a gas on tanks.

I don,t remember actors, director or name of movie. If you could help me i will be grateful
