Reckless Emboldenment
Don’t they know? Small cars only embolden the enemy! This is not a time to show weakness!
I think I can see why my father liked Amsterdam so much. There is a blend of efficiency and goofiness that would have resonated with his sensibilities.
It reminds me of the time he drove a Simca (see below). We have many stories about that car. In Fort Worth, Texas, it was an oddball car. He got rear-ended at traffic lights several times by people who looked right over his car when the light turned green. The insurance money paid for the car several times over.
Dad must have looked around Amsterdam and thought, “Holy cow, these are my people!”
