DeTom, the Pantera is at least 8.5 on the babe magnet scale, maybe a perfect 10.0
While the guys can't take their eyes off the car, their lady friends always make the coy glance to check out the owner as well. If I have a female companion on board, she gets the envious inspection too. (Have you ever noticed the difference in the facial expression when a lady checks you out as compared to when she checks your lady passenger out?)
You see, the non-owners think the car is more expensive than it is. They're thinking mega-buck new Ferrari kind of money. So the gals are thinking, boy would I like to have his bank account to deplete! LOL
I've had many older ladies tell me, I don't know what that car is, but it smells like MONEY! LOL. I just put my hand on my back pocket, covering my wallet & back away. LOL
The Corvette driver made a serious error in judgement. Never race your car with a lady on board. Unless she is the unique lady who likes that sort of thing. Hopefully he'll learn from his mistake.
Mark, that was a good comeback for a drag race challenge, I'll have to keep that in the senior memory bank.
your friend on the PIBB, getting ready to head for Starbucks, George
