As long as we're sharing nice experiences, here's mine. Last year while filling up the tank of my 1953 Custom Imperial, I noticed a man at the next pump who was filling up his tank giving my Imperial the once over....he could not resist asking me about the car...his first question was, " Is that the new Lexus?" I suppose that was sort of a compliment.
