Some kid: Is that your car?
Me: Yes it is.
Some kid: Dude,
what is that?
Me: It's my '94 Protege LX.
Some kid: Hey
I got this Civic, it's like stock, I'll race you.
Me: No, that's quite alright. While my Protege is quick, it's a classy compact car and I'd
feel bad degrading it by racing your Civic. Sorry.
