Sam replies, sadly:
"That makes me 13 years old than your TC. You should have been a fireman.

I'm still working to get a car older than I am. My first car
was.......... 1926 Buick which ran well in minus 30 degree Nebraska
weather, much to the chagrin of my father as his 1946 Chevy would not start
without a push at any temperature below zero. After several Buicks, I
acquired a 'foreign car' or "wat-du U call that scooter", 1949 MGTC Wow! a
cool car for a sailor..... After a couple of other MGs I am finally
getting closer to one my age, a 1929 MG M Type..... So there!
