Who is Elmore Leonard?Not me, not me.
:grin: I was attributing the remarks to author Elmore Leonard
on the subject of cars and impressing people with them:
Paraphrasing as best as I can remember:"The (bad guy) had, at one time or another, in his life, about 255 different cars. From a TR 3 to a '55 Chevy. All stolen.
A car was something to you picked up to get from here to there, to pick up a little money...
"Nah, I never used a car to impress anybody....Shit, you wanna impress someone, stick the barrel of a 45 down their throat, that'll impress 'em"

From "City Primeval", by Elmore Leonard. author
(He is the best author in USA who understands how American criminals talk IMO)
