Do you get treated better when you are in your Benz?

About 10-15 years ago, my son and I stopped in Temple Pa. to look at some Reading railroad locomotives that are being restored. I was driving on old, beat-up Pinto. I ask one of the people working on the loco if my son and I could see the cab. We where told no and that we better not touch anything. When we arrived I had picked up a donor card with the intent that I would send them a small donation. I threw that card away before I left that day.

About 5 years ago, my grandson and I pulled into the same parking lot; this time in my 300D. We walked around and took a few photos and was about to leave, when one of the workers came over to my car and ask if the boy and I would like to look inside of any of the locos, I was invited to an invitation only picinic, and given a donation card; and reminded that restoration costs money. Anyone else have a similiar experience?
