I got a better story, happened just yesterday :)
I ordered my new summer tires to put on my new Minator (thanks Lawrie!)
wheels. Since there is no way I would be able to get 4 shod wheels
back home from Moscow, I entrusted a good friend with a pickup to help
me out.
While I was waiting, the good friend was looking at wheels that looked
fairly good on the older Mustang, and commented something about the
"spinners". I said something the effect that on _proper_ cars, those
things are good for more than looks. The clerk looks at me and says
"Yeah, if you have an MG." Said clerk did not know the make of my car.
Eagerly anticipating the spring...
