Sean,
I can relate. Back in the early eighties when I was driving a 67 1600, I
pulled into the parking lot of the parts department at a Datsun dealership
looking for some parts. The parts guy got indignant and told me that Datsun
NEVER made a convertible. I got a bit PO'd and in a very smart-a##ed
fashion asked "Then what the HE&& did I drive up here in!?!" as I pointed
out the window at my car. He changed tune rather quickly as he read D A T S
U N across the hood. I got the parts that I was after!!
