Hmm, might have gotten away with that in the '70s. 
Never driven one, just tried to sit in the back seat of one once, got out for aforementioned reason and said "No, it's fine, ta, I'll follow you..."

A chap on my team last year had a 930 Turbo (like the one in Moncton). Curiously, he let me drive that but got all precious about sharing his Chevy Bolt.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
My husband was seldom home during the first bits of our sons life, but when he was, would always refer to our son as ‘my Porche’. It took a number of years for people to realize that he was joking (I think he was)....Had it been a straight choice I fear I may have gone for a Jaguar XJ6...

That's good to know, I think I'll diversify my investments. You don't wan't to put all your eggs into one basket. That would be silly.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Went into Morrisons today, just needed milk and a Lettuce, half of the store was closed, there was no salad bar, cooked meat section, fishmongers, butchery or hot food section, and many of the other shelves were almost empty, I assume that they don't pay for shelf stackers to come in early. Smallest bill I've ever had, milk, Lettuce and loaf of bread, £1 49.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Went to our Zoo's "wild lights" evenings tonight. Should have been last night but freezing rain postponed it.
Plenty of animals around to see and various light displays. Nice to have a wander in the evening air and not too chilly. Stopped off for a meal on the way home. East Side Marios. The kids have always liked that place. Nothing special in my eyes and a tad expensive for what you get.
But my Hells Kitchen Chicken was very nice. Easily the best thing I've had there.
