I told a Miata driver once to drive her car into my trunk and I'd ditch my spare tire.

I once had a guy comment that mob guys all drove cars like mine and my 75 probably had bodies in the trunk at one time.
For fun, I told the clown the former owners name was Tony Spilotro and I bought it from an FBI auction in Vegas

Wasn't James Hoffa driving a Grandville the day he disappeared?

I would have asked that Hyundai salesman if he'd ever seen a Hyundai Equus. Jon

The Grandville is as big as it had to be to haul 6 people in comfort, and that it does. (I need to find me a '74 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special(factory limo) and show up at a Miata car show with it. Younger people have even thought my "intermediate" '74 Cutlass Supreme was a "boat", and my '66 Pontiac Tempest Custom wagon(also intermediate)- 203'' long-was "the longest car they had ever seen"-give me a break.

I always liked going with the wife in my '75 before the Route 66 Drive in Theatre closed, she could lay up against me & stretch her feet across the bench seat. Kinda like a couch at home -

Well, I'm out one day in my 58 Parisienne, and stopped at a light, guy in the next cars shouts out "is that a 58?" I said "yeah", pretty impressed that he got the year. Then he asks if I'm the original owner....I realize I don't look as young as I used to, but I'm 32 fer gosh sakes!!! I didn't even know how to answer that...
