[s-cars] An S car moment

[Theodore Chen]

reminds me of when i drove up to the local sherwin-williams and bought a
couple of gallons of toluene, after asking how much it'd cost to buy it
in a 55-gallon drum.

clerk asks:
"so what kind of car are you putting it in?"
"huh?"
"the buick grand national and syclone guys come here to buy drums of
toluene all the time."
"oh"
"so you putting it in a buick or syclone"
"no, the car out there" <i point at the green audi outside>
"that?"
"yeah, it's got a turbo and runs up to at least 20 psi of boost, so i need
the higher octane"
"whoa, that car must be pretty fast.  sure doesn't look fast though."
"yeah.  see you later." <smile>
