Have I ever shared: when I moved from the assembly plant to Chevrolet Engineering (Truck) - the guy that was retiring that I replaced used to work directly for Zora.

He shared a couple stories during our job transition.

Jim said you could be working away in the office area and all of a sudden you'd hear some god-awful rumbling take place in another part of the building and you knew Zora was firing something up. He also said you had to be careful when you were walking in the aisle ways, or crossing the test track, because Zora would run you over.

Jim also said that, during their many technical/engineering reviews, Zora would kick off their discussion by saying "...how arrrre you duu-ink?" After the engineer's long and elaborate presentations, Zora listening intently, he would leave while saying "duu da bist you caahnn".

I have taken to using that same introduction and dismissal, and my guys know exactly what I am referring to.
