The point is, it was a tough pill to swallow so for that reason, most of them don't have much love for the Saab and I can understand. I doubt very highly that they thought less of you personally though.
I wasn't really offended, it was just a comment that seemed out of place since we would be sharing the cockpit for the next 2 hours.. They turned out to be good guys, but my first impression was that this could be a long ride.
