Amiga: You get into the car with halo so great that you couldn't really 
clearly see the car. When you got within the sight of the store, the car 
breaks down. You get out of the car and finds the car is a Yugo.

Atari ST: You get into a dandy of a car and drives to the store. On the 
way to the store, car stalls and you found you've ran out of the special 
gas. You get out of car and finds yourself starting a nice friendship 
with fellows who owns same kind of car you have -- who are also stranded. 
And rest of the people pretty much ignores your presence.
