I'm sure most if not all of us have heard comments from bystanders or Healey aficionados that made your day or were at least long remembered.
I went to the local hardware store today and as the bell on the door of the store jingled, the woman behind the register, who had seen and heard me drive up and head in park next to the pallet of chicken feed on the sidewalk, asked what kind of car it was. I told her it was a 1956 Austin Healey and added it was not quite was old as I was. She said something along the lines of there being no way I could be that old. I'm still smiling. I guess at some point my age and condition might have become more important to me than the car. As Billy Crystal used to say " it's better to look good than to feel good". I'm not sure about that but I guess in that moment the two things came together and that worked for me. Now where did I leave that Ibuprophen?
What unsolicited comments were noteworthy for you?
