Went to lunch at the local sandwich shop and was able to park right in front of the window facing into the shop.
I noted a flatbed tow truck parked across the lot in a manner that is used up four spaces, but what ever.
As I walked into the shop, a voice to the right asked, "Is that a phony Fiat?"
I turned and saw what was obviously the driver of the flatbed enjoying his lunch and apparently puzzled by my 71 BC Coupe.
So now, I have the opportunity to answer this oddly phrased question. Should I control the inner smart ass that wants to say,
"Yes, its actually a Maserati that I intentionally rusted up and then slapped Fiat badges on".
Or, "No it's a kit car made from a Chevy Vega" or some other ridiculous thing.
But no, I controlled that part of me and simply told him a short history of what my coupe is. Then told him, "bet you're sorry you asked now eh?"
He said, no, he thought it was a sharp looking car in spite of it's current state of primer and wrinkles.
Here's the view he had.
