[Wild Thing]

Strange, I never heard that as the first question. Not that my car ist so ugly. I was raised - and I think most europeans are - in the way that NUKE427 mentioned, money is privat and not of anyone elses concern. The question "how much do you make" is unthinkable, even among friends. They almost everytime start with "is it real?". Also this goes on your nerves, I understand that people are curious and that a "real" Shelby is a very rare sight, and I almost answer "yes, but not a Shelby". Its the real thing anyway, aint it? You recognize very soon, if there is just some a$$ or if he or she - yes, there are a lot of females among them - shares the love. Of course they often ask how much it cost, sometimes later in the discussion. Also I never tell them how much I have in mine, I assume they want to know how much to spent for one, and I tell them the range, and what to look for. As someone mentioned before, this car draws a lot of attention, and you have to deal with it.

Lately, I drove by an italian restaurant where the waiter stood in the door, and as I passed by, he tried hard to be louder than my pipes, shouting: "where is the blonde?"
