Jim - I was there with you. I had a similar experience when bringing one of my cars home with someone who tried to stay at my bumper. They only saw dust after awhile, and wondered where I had gone.
Very good write, and I am proud of you to tell it like it is. I am so tired of the complaints of the car, and don't know if their car is worn out, or if they don't know how to drive. I have been in love with this car from when I first drove it, and will never be without one. Thanks for the experience that we got to have with you through your story.
