This reminds me of the time I was visiting (i.e.: standing around drinking
beer and talking cars) with a friend who has several old Corvettes. A
vanload of teenage girls came by, a window was rolled down and a voice
squeaked out, "We love your car!" My in-need-of-attention 59 BRG Bugeye
Sprite was sitting next to his pristine 64 blue on white Vette convertible.
We exchanged glances briefly, then he shouted, "Which one?"
In unison, several teenage girls shouted back, "The greeeeeen one!"
I figure any car that gets that kind of attention in such competitive
circumstances surely deserves its own e-mail address!
