Who's driving that little yellow car out there?

"I am" said my wife to the guy that just walked into to the bank. He asked a ton of questions and wanted to know all about the little car. and where he could buy one.

They walked out together and my wife admired his car too... He was driving a new Bently.

Seems every one can love a Smartie ! A2Jack.

I, too, got a thumbs-up from a Bentley Continental GT Convertible driver! I've found that many of the best reactions and comments, much to my surprise, come from luxury car owners. (Signs of intelligence?)

Of course it's a sign of intelligence! Smarts get pretty much double the average U.S. MPG, which means that you're using half as much gas, which means that there's MORE gas for the luxury car owners!

It's that whole 'new math' thing.

Smarts are tiny little carbon offsets for the rest of us with our big 'merican cars.

Your pal,
Meat.

You usually don't get the scratch to buy a Bentley by being stupid.......Although lots of stupid people own Bentleys here in LA: athletes, rappers, actors, etc. You know, the people who think "bling" is not only a real word but is something desireable.

Viper owner loved mine

One of the most enthusiastic "thumbs-up"s my car's gotten came from a young couple in a Viper.
