[DeTomaso] Special Orange Cars

Fri Jan 12 17:21:42 EST 2018

That’s much worse than what I get almost every time I take my car out.  I
have a silver GTS in OE trim—including bright white big blockish letters
that say PANTERA GTS on a black background down each side of the car, albeit
right below the belt line. While staring at the side of the car, I get
asked, “What is it?”  When I say, “A Pantera.”  I never get, “Doh, that’s
what it says right there!”  No, I get, “Really?  I’ve heard of them, but
never seen one.”  Go figure…

Ha!  I had a guy come over to me recently at the gas station. He said he
loved my Mangusta!  I said, it’s actually a Pantera!
He said “NO… I once owned a Mangusta and THIS is a Mangusta!!”  I pointed to
the “Pantera” on the back of the car. With
an angry face he said “I don’t know WHY you could put a Pantera label on a
Mangusta!” and stomped off.   True story!

All sorts of people in this world.  Some make you happy when they come over,
some… when they leave.  ;-))

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if he's only a little off on his numbers and
    colors, but his Dad has a Group 4 tucked away....

    Hahahaha!

    Did he also tell you all Panteras have fiberglass bodies? I've been told
    that by people who claim to know.
