Had some relatives from Poland come to the US to visit family. They spent a day at an aunts house while I was there. My uncle is a gear head and built a massive pole barn w/ a concrete floor to work on his trucks. I use it all the time too...

Anyway it was an entertaining day because my uncle and the relative from Poland's husband didn't speak a word of the same language yet it was immediately apparent that they were a lot alike. Turns out he restores old military trucks from the war.

Later that day he was over by my car w/ another relative talking about it.

He kept saying Maserati.

I loved it.

The other day took my mum for a ride to get an ice cream. Parked the car and went to get the icecream for her. She told me that two girls came past and started taking pictures and freaking out about the car.

Good Buy.
