How things have changed, especially since 911. In the mid '90's I was on reserve in NY. My airport car needed some repairs so I hauled my toolbox into the cockpit and said: "Capt, can I get a ride to work"? Of course he looked at my toolbox and I explained how my 76 Impala needed new rear wheel seals! He said: Come'on aboard!
That Impala was a great airport car!
