“cool car”

as i pulled out of the bank parkinglot with a check to purchase the car that would soon replace my 20Z as a daily driver, a skin-colored mini pulled up next to me with the windows rolled down.  a middle-adged couple looked over and smiled. “WE LOVE YOUR CAR!” the woman shouted. she was driving. i thought quickly, because i knew in my heart that just days before i had test-driven a mini and they are really fun…i replied, “i like your car too!”. we drove off around the corner. the whine of her supercharger sang a high-pitched tune, and the Z rasped it voice and sped off down the road. i think i made them smile too.
