It show's a lot of class not to throw the guy under the bus after the big lead-on! Truthfully I've had girlfriends lead me on with less cruelity! I think the car may have been a little too over the top for them and it would have been distracting with all people jammed into their booth getting them exposure.
Anyway, you, like your car, are a class act! A Great Man is humble in the Great things he does
