Opel GT greater than God?
As I open the door I can tell who is here. "hello, my name is..." Are you religious solicitators? "Um, yes, we are but..." Hey, no offense but I already have my religious beliefs. "OK, no problem but can you tell me what kind of car that is" pointing to the Opel GT in the driveway. Oh, that's an Opel GT. "I've never seen one before. I thought it was an Austin Healy or something" No, it's an Opel GT. A 1973. Austin Healy was a British car and this one is German. "Oh, was it imported from Germany?" Yes and no. It was sold by Buick but made in Germany "How many years did they make them?" The Opel GT was manufactured from 1968-1973 for US sales. "Really? And they were sold in the United States?" Yup. "Do they still make them?" Sort of. The Saturn is actually Opel. And the Saturn Sky is actually an Opel GT. "When did they stop making them fiberglass?" The Opel, as far as I know, has never been fiberglass "That one there isn't fiberglass? What is it made from?" It's a steel body. "Interesting... I really thought it was an Austin. Thanks, have a nice day" You too.... Funny how he came to talk about God but decided the Opel GT was more interesting
