I have such a thin shell that I personally take offensive .
Thanks for the kind words, Cd!

I have had several people at work comment to the fact that they would rather drive the car with the tail off. And it's fine with me if they make that comment.

I had some young kids drive by me in the gas station last week when I was filling up. One said "I like your WeinerMobile" loud enough for me to hear. I just ignored the comment and went on my way.

As the gas prices keep climbing, I've also had several people ask if the car really gets 99mpg as my plate suggests. When I say yes, they drop their jaw is disbelief.

I like the high gas mileage more than negative comments from others, so the car stays as it is!

Jim.
