[700rpm]

I get all those usual questions. I always answer politely. It never hurts to be courteous, and it's part of the fun. I actually hope someone will come up to me and talk about the car. I had a couple of really down-and-out guys standing by my coupe one day when I came out of the store. They were really raggedy, maybe homeless, but one had a smart phone and asked if he could take a picture of the car. I always say yes, and then I offered to take a picture of him and his friend standing next to it. The way their faces lit up made my day, and maybe theirs too.

A lady about 80 years old once asked me with a twinkle in her eye if I'd give her a ride in the rumble seat. I told her she'd have to get her mother's permission. She laughed out loud at that!

I think people just want to make some kind of contact and take away a story to share. On more than one occasion I've been invited back to somebody's garage because they have an old tool or parts or something they just want to give me.
