The picture also reminds me of myself in 1979.  I was driving my Alpine. =
 I ran out of gas.  So I was at the side of the road, after putting in =
gas, and using the little hand lever on the Alpine fuel pump, to get the =
gas into the engine (yes, in case you were not familiar with that for =
Alpines, there is such a lever).  Someone drove by and yelled =E2=80=9CYou=
 should have had a V8.=E2=80=9D=20

Now, I did think that was funny.  But part of the joke is that HAD I =
owned a Tiger, I would have merely run out of gas that much sooner.
