Re: [DML] Car Shows

["Hank Eskin" <heskin@xxxx>]

Speaking of car shows... I took my D to "British Car Day" here in Brookline,
MA last weekend. Among the common mis-conceptions about the car, I heard
one I hadn't heard before, and I was curious if anyone heard this one:

One guy was absolutely convinced that the D had two batteries, and when
the cars came out, that the battery that *powered* the doors going up and
down was constantly going dead, since everyone was constantly making their
doors go up and down. It took me a few minutes to convince him that the car
has only one battery, and the doors are NOT powered. I showed him how the
doors work (mechanically, etc), and he still was in doubt that I was telling
him the truth. He was constantly saying "Are you sure?" Yeah, I'm sure.
