Well, it has happened once again.  This Sunday I drove CSX2282 to
Orchard Supply Hardware to pick up some plumbing supplies and this young
guy in a ratty old pickup flags me down in the parking lot.  "Sir", he
yells, "I noticed your car.  I work for a body shop...".  I cut him off
in mid sentence with, "Not interested!!".  Lets see, this is either the
third or fourth time this has happened.  Okay, I was having a bad day,
and I know this says something about my car, to some degree.  It's bare
aluminum and it is in need of some minor body work.  But what makes
these guys think I would take my car to a shop where the people who work
there don't give a hoot about the looks of there own cars?  Not to
mention that the last place I would take my car for work is a shop that
solicits business in a shopping center parking lot.
