Thing?

[Gliderman8]

So I'm sitting outside of Starbucks having a coffee. Two women walk by and see my scoot. One says to the other "I can't believe someone drove that "thing" here".
I just listened and never said a word.

And I always though Italian scooters and coffee shops sort of went together....

"(S)He was mean and (s)he was coarse and unrefined." Points if you can name the song or movie. No Googling!

Immediately thought of Phil Harris and "The Thing" -

A friend of mine had his Formula Vee race car on a trailer behind his F100
that you could see through the windows of the restaurant we were eating at.
I noticed that he was getting irritated,& raised his shoulders,& muttering something
under his breath.
Turns out that the three businessman at the next table noticed his car,& while
two of them had no clue,the third,being the Genius of the group told them -
"That's one of those "Malibu Grand Prix" cars." "You know,a dollar a lap".
I always wanted to obtain a set of those decals & put them on his car.

You didn’t correct them? “That’s a Lambretta, not a Volkswagen!”

Yow, sad story. Hope the coffee was delicious nonetheless!

Coffee was good. Actually one of the women called it a Vespa (oh the humanity ).

Well, at least she got the country of origin right.

That's what you get for sitting outside a Starbucks!

Probably the pinnacle of practical effects in a movie.

Vespas are better. (Runs and hides… )

Jokes aside, I love the Lambretta.
