I think I've told this story here before, but back in 1980 I worked with a guy who was about as red as a redneck can get. He was around 50, and one day he showed up to work driving a butt ugly Plymouth 024-he called it his "sports car". I said "Nice car" (being polite) "you know it has a VW engine". He said "The hell it does". I told him to pop the hood. The look on his face was priceless!! Jeff
