I give them the "fast enough to get into trouble" line then explain it's a corner carver, not a muscle car. My dad, who's a muscle car guy, loved it when he visited last week.

Now this isn't the first time I was asked this question and I always answer the same way. What about you guys?
I'd say, "The car is a lot like me... We're small, but we make up for it with speed! We'll also hug the hell out of some tight curves..."

No doubt. I stopped at the local hardware store on my way out of town, then realized I forgot paper, but I wasn't going to stop in the same store again and look like an idiot. And btw the Autozone was next to where I had to pick up my dry cleaning.

Certainly those Autozone and similar stores get a lot of business from those little purchases that you forget until the last minute. They probably do $1M in plastic funnels alone.
