Probably afraid you'll tear up the parking lot with the Mirada.
Oh...in 2004, I went up to Des Moines for the retirement of my main professor in college. Since I flew, I rented a car up there. It turned out to be a silver 2004 Mustang with really cool Nevada plates. Naturally, I went to Target and bought a Kid Rock CD so I could be blasting "Cowboy" out of it when I pulled up at the festivities. That all went over really well. Everyone I knew in college decided I hadn't changed a bit. Professional juvenile.
