Bill: "What the hell's this?"
Dad: "What the hell is what? And watch your language."
Bill: "This isn't a classic car. It's a mid 90s piece of plastic."
Dad: "This, son, is a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT. It's a very popular and collectible car. The VR4 version is all-wheel drive AND all-wheel steer with twin turbos producing 320 horsepower good for a 0-60 of around 5.5 seconds!"
Bill: "Uh huh, so this is a VR4 then?"
Dad: "Well, no, it's an SL but it still has a turbo V6 good for 218 horsepower and mid 6 second 0-60."
Bill: "That's decent I suppose, for a chick car."
Dad: "Don't be misogynistic. It's not a chick car."
Bill: "It has a fuzzy bit on the steering wheel, dangly bits from the mirror, a small panda toy on the dash, and I believe it has a cushy cover on the passenger seatbelt."
Dad: "Well, ok maybe this particular one may be owned by a female, but that doesn't mean anything."
Bill: "Whatever. Take your photo then. I'll be picking the next car."
Dad: "I liked it better when we didn't have imaginary conversations."
