This older fellow owned a vintage Model T Ford with antique license plates and every Sunday he took it out for a spin on the back roads. One day the engine died and he pulled off the road and raised the black hood for a look-see when a Mercedes stopped to offer assistance. The old gent suggested the Mercedes tow him a mile down the road to a gas station but please don't go over 20 mph. As they were moving slowly they were passed by a BMW doing 70mph which infuriated the Mercedes driver who, forgetting he had a tow, took off after the Bimmy with the Ford driver honking his "oogooga" horn for attention. Soon they whizzed past the intended gas station whose attendant marvelled at the scene before him and phoned his friend down the road to "run out and see this amazing sight - a BMW doing 70 mph followed by a Mercedes going 70 followed by an old "tin lizzie" also doing 70 and the Model T driver is blowing his horn - he wants to pass!"
