I have lived through driving my Imperials when I had to wait in line for five hours to get gasoline. Others in line would make all sorts of derogatory remarks about my "gas hog". At the time I was running my '65 Crown as an everyday car. It was called names like Giant Pig, Beige Cow, Obselete Blob, and many more that I can't type here. People were angry since they felt that I was using more than my share of the dwindling fuel supply. > > Even today, young guys, who incidently are not always the most intellegent when it comes to manners, make unflattering off hand remarks. I go where I can get the parts and take the comments in stride. > > Paul >
