Reply to "Gas Station Stories"

yesterday a gas station owner came out and said, "Nice Pantera!"

today a group of schoolkids trouped by it parked outside a coffee shop in Leesburg, VA (i took it to the DMV for plates) and I heard them guessing whether it was a Lambo or a DeLorean. the teacher told them it was, "Just out of her league." i don't think they suspected i was the owner, cuz i was dressed like a skateboarder - Vans hi tops laced up tight, Santa Cruz sweatshirt hood up against the cold breeze.

i immediately felt bad for teachers, and i spent the rest of my coffee contemplating the negative impacts of 'No Child Left Behind'. we need to pay teachers a heckuva lot more, and not bog the system down with crazy testing (i was also dismayed by the research i dug up when i got home).

sorry for the digression. most folks 'round here seem to know it's a Pantera. women don't give a hoot. men roll the windows down to listen, after chasing me down to pace along side. i'm sure that's common in every location.
