Who is Elmore Leonard?Not me, not me.

:grin: I was attributing the remarks to author Elmore Leonard
on the subject of cars and impressing people with them:

Paraphrasing as best as I can remember:"The (bad guy) had, at one time or another, in his life, about 255 different cars. From a TR 3 to a '55 Chevy. All stolen.

A car was something to you picked up to get from here to there, to pick up a little money...

"Nah, I never used a car to impress anybody....Shit, you wanna impress someone, stick the barrel of a 45 down their throat, that'll impress 'em"

From "City Primeval", by Elmore Leonard. author
(He is the best author in USA who understands how American criminals talk IMO)

Thank you!! PM sent.

""eventually a bossy woman with a loud and hectoring demeanor came but I couldn't understand what she was saying to me because she was holding one of those walky talky affairs that seem to emit nothing but white noise with people saying "Roger" a lot"
