I had a former boss and years later, when I saw him at an event, our conversation went something like this.
Him: "What are you driving these days?"
Me: "The Corolla."
Him: "Not the red Corolla you had when you worked for me?!"
Me: "Yep, still runs like a top."
Him: "I thought you would have upgraded by now."
Awkward pause
Me: "Uh, okay, what you you driving these days? Still have the Corvette?"
Him: "What? No, my son totaled the 'vette years ago. I've got a Tesla now."
I did not admit I had never heard of a Tesla . . . he had one of the first ones I guess. My first thought was that it was some sort of rare sportscar. Shortly thereafter I saw the logo on a sedan in front of me, went home and figured out it was a Tesla. Looks pretty much like my neighbor's Ford. Whatever, dude, glad it makes you happy.
He does not go to the gym, so we did not have that part of the conversation.
