A Diesel loonie! yes we are crazy to some people!
I had just parked and a car drove up and the driver got out, the lady asked me if I knew my car was smoking and why did it smoke like that? (she had her kid or grandkid in tow) I replied, "Lady, this car is a fine example of a diesel automobile, with over a quarter million miles on it (I used to have a license plate frame that had those words engraved on it) and when your car has that many miles on it it will likely be in a wrecking yard somewhere". She shut up and walked on!
