Returning home from some pool recreation last night, Cindy & I stopped to top the Bullitt Mustang off with 92 Octane no alcohol premium. Yes, it's available at a few Oregon stations. You pay dearly for it, but I figure the Bullitt is worth it. Another silly Oregon law is that it's a no-no to pump your own gas here...so always a pump jockey.
Well, this pump jockey was a cute little brunette, maybe all of 18. Probably her first ever job. As she inserted my card in the pump she said she loved the green...
Me: "Yeah. Only Bullitt models get this green."
She: "Bullet?"
Me: "You ever hear of Steve McQueen?"
She "No."
Me: "The movie Bullitt?"
She: "No."
So then I gave her the tale of a long ago movie that still has the best car chase scene ever filmed.
I urged her to search youtube and see the chase. I hope she did...or at least asked her grandparents if they remember the movie.
Yes Virgina, long ago, in a country that no longer exists...
