Now Dennis,
As you probably guessed, the problem is "they" were the ones that actually needed another drink or two, knew that with the escalating gas prices we all need every $ just to run the car, and then figured you couldn't take them both for a ride anyway. Since you told them it was a replica they realized you were not Carroll Shelby or his brother and also correctly deduced thet were in imminent danger of spontaneous combustion from your thunderous exhaust and rich condition, they chose an easy out to save themselves...... and there you have it!
See, you actually saved two homeless guys from being burned to death by Carroll Shelby's brother!
Now, you feel better already, don't you?
Your friend,
John Russell
