If it was a brand new one, it would've been fun to ride up and say "Wow, nice Ford." But he might not get it.
The little story about the older MG reminded me of a cartoon I saw many years ago. It showed a Lucas headlight switch with the markings "Off, Flicker, Dim". I loved that one.
BTW, great joke Flat Top
