> They will NEVER UNDERSTAND... Don't waste your breath on them... > The other day I pulled in to my spot at work next to the editor in chief who cast a playful look at my TR4A and said "Nice Car! Well, nice toy, anyway." I said "No, no, it's car -- 31 years old, 92k miles, 27 mpg, worth about 6 times what was paid for it in 1967....this is a car", I insisted pointing at my TR."No, come on it's a toy." I pointed at her late 80's FWD GM -- "That's an appliance. It's really just a washing machine or a toaster with four wheels." She smiled...and I think I got through just a little bit.....
