Gotta admit, never got that. When I was a kid I was always more impressed by the story of how Rolls Royce did the final tests on their cars for quality. they'd stick the English equivalent of a nickel edge on on the hood & start the car. If the coin fell, it didn't pass. THAT impressed me!
Sweetness! My first car was a Volvo station wagon. I swear to God my dad made me buy it as birth control because no woman would have come near it.
