You want to increase public awareness ? That's easy, and fun, I'll tell
ya why. I got ahold of a 65 midget in November 95, I spent winter and
spring getting this car to look and run "OK". ( all I wanted was a
convertible, I didn't care what it was ) Boy was I suprised when I
started to drive this thing around last summer. ( and I drove it
everywhere ) EVERYONE was looking at the car, or so my 10 yr. old
daughter said. I wasn't paying much attention, I was having too much fun
driving it, but Erica was right !
So.. you want to increase " Public awareness " ? Get out and DRIVE your
cars ! Let people see them, compared to the Faceless Clones that the
automakers are putting out ( Was that a Ford Probe, or a Pontiac Grand
AM, I can't tell) These cars DO have class AND style. They are special
because we care about them, and if everyone sees us out havin' fun in
them, it'll make an impression, just like a TV comercial.
Haing a $10,000,000 bill in your pocket won't do you any good until
you take it out, just like a pretty woman it your house, ( or good
lookin' guys for you ladies ) or an LBC in your garage. Take ALL of them
out and enjoy yourself. Others will be watching ! And you'll be having
fun !
