Re: IML: Mistaking Identity: An Imperial for a Cadillac/Lincoln insult



Ha!  Saw a guy yesterday who asked me why I wanted a
Lincoln!  Funny because five minutes earlier I told
him what my interest was, and it took him only 5
minutes to forget that I said 'IMPERAL' and HE was a
mechanic too, for 40 years he's owned a shop.  So I
refreshed his memory and said 'why do you want that,
just get a Lincoln'....
Most people around here know what an Imperial is and
are suprized when I express my interest.  For most it
brings them back in time as I've mentioned B4 in other
posts, they are not often seen in Long Island.
