Karmann Ghia I haven't had, I don't think... but my 1800s has definitely been called a Studebaker, Jaguar, Datsun, and who knows what else. Once I was putting gas into it, and a guy walked up and intoned, "Bond... James Bond." Does that count for Aston Martin? Actually, I think he was just confused about which fictional secret agent drove what.

An ES isn't slow if you drive it fast. My good friend Brooks Townes (Bondurant driving school, etc.) has a '72 ES with iPd bars, Bilsteins, 195/60 tires, stock springs and rubber bushings, basically stock motor -- not a hopped up car at all -- and *very* few drivers can hang with him on the twisty Blue Ridge Mountain roads out where he lives. That includes Porsches. He once *averaged* over 90 mph all the way across Montana, before they brought back speed limits.

Sounds like a bunch of lies, but I've ridden with him enough to have no doubt they're true.
