For a couple months , when I went for a hamburger with a date, there was only one place in town to go, the one that had a hill at their parking lot. It wouldn't have been prudent to ask the girl to get out and push, now would it? Also shows that my values were in the right place, go on dates instead of buying a new starter motor.
