“That looks like an Interceptor engine,” he said, clearly impressed, “and it sounds great.”
“Latest and greatest.” I gave him the engine’s stats and added, “Are you a fan of muscle cars?”
“Yeah, but I sort of put that interest on hold when I started a family.”
“It can be a time-consuming and expensive hobby, but I can deduct a great deal of my car expenses as a legitimate business expense.”
“How often have you had to outrun somebody?”
“Twice,” I said, “which more than makes the expense worth it.”
“That’s interesting,” he said. “I guess I should say, ‘never assume’.”
“Yeah. Thanks again.”
“It was an interesting experience.”
