Re: IML: Basking In Their Ignorance

[aeyn <mr85000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Last night my "step-son" followed me back to Tucson with his
newly acquired 1991(Mark Cross) Imperial and we stopped in
Florence, AZ for a break.  The lady at the counter knew what an
Imperial was as she had one in high school, but could not recall
what year it was, probably a 65 as she graduated in 1970.  She
came out to see our Imperials parked beside each other - 1993 and
1991(Mark Cross) and was pleasantly impressed.
I know that this can be a VERY rewarding, but also be a funny and
vexing thread, but shouldn't we just be appreciative that there
are people out there who recognize our IMPERIALS for the
CHEVROLETS they are!!!
