I borrowed my son's Orange car to make a run out to Pennsylvania today. Around 120 mile round trip. I was at a stop light out in PA and an old guy in the car next to me at the light, rolls down his window and he and his passenger (both in their late 70's) give the thumbs up. The driver then says: That's an awesome looking classic!

I said: "Thank you! It's my son's car and he doesn't know I borrowed it today. It's a stickshift too!"

They both laughed and said "We won't tell him".

Fun times with old car guys!

BTW, the car sure runs nicely on the highway even with the 3.92 gears. Got 24.5 mpg for the trip.
