[DeTomaso] Observations from a commute in the Pantera today

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Scott,


                Ah!  Fond memories.   I, too, used the Pantera to 
shuttle the girls to school when they were small enough to fit side by 
side in the front seat for the short 1/3 mile trip to school.  They were 
indeed fond of going in the Pantera or being picked up in it.  With the 
short commute, we never got up to speed, but when I only had one little 
angel as a co-pilot we did from time to time explore the acceleration of 
the Pantera for strictly scientific reasons.....

                I, too, enjoyed the range of reactions from parents and 
children during those trips.   I thought that I was raising Pantera 
consciousness in Oklahoma elementary education and that was a 
philanthropic thing to do.

                Thanks for sharing.  Keep taking the boy to school in 
the Pantera!


                            Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
