Reminds me of the time about 20 years ago when I came out of a Pier 1 store and there was a Maserati parked next to my Geo Metro. Standing next to it was a distinguished-looking older couple who were calling for a tow truck because the Maserati wouldn’t start. I wished them well and drove off, as they seemed to have the situation under control.
Seen this more than a few times n L.A.: a guy pushing a Porsche Carrera. I kid you not. And they’re in really ritzy areas like Culver City near the studios.
Had a similar experience, with an older fellow standing next to his Rolls in the Griffith Park parking lot in LA. Hood up, apparent engine issue. Wiseass that I am I said to him “that’s not supposed to happen with a Rolls”. He kind of grumbled at me.
