Having been lucky enough to have owned (among other things) a Tiger and a
Pantera some observations:
* "I had one or know someone who had one and . . . ."
Lots of these folks around - most of what they "know" is wrong.
* "That didn't come like that . . . " um, ok.
* "What a cute littel red car . . . " rare, thank goodness.
* "What a way kewl car . . " (prom queen, rural Utah) all too rare.
* "Hey baby, let's go for a ride . . . " way too sedated for my taste.
* Add your own . . . .
I thought it was bad with the Tiger. It gets worse with the Pantera, when
"eveybody" wants to know or tell you something.
One thing I have observed, be it 4 year olds with the noses pressed to the
back window on the freeway, the barfly, the prom queen, the kid at the gas
station, it brings a smile to all of them!
Be polite, you are an ambassador. and enjoy knowing you made someone smile!
