They're eyesight sucks, but they can see the 'V' in Ventura on the taillight panel and think I'm serious. Me serious .... never.

Or the huge number of know-nothings who come up to my 63 Grand Prick and tell me that they had one just like this, but a convertible and I say ... this is a 63, not a 67.

I've even had people 'buy it' when I tell people that it's an 1863 (including a counter guy at an Advanced Auto). They go what .... "I didn't know that there were cars back then" .... I say "sure, Lincoln drove a Lincoln". Truth is .... he drove a Studebaker and it was two horse power.
I was drinking a soda and did you know it burns when it comes out your nose?
