Greg: Ya just gotta be "cool" in the Coupe. There is a right way and a wrong way to show up at a non familiar airport in a Coupe. You don't climb out of an Ercoupe with a pair of Gucci's with tassels, and 200 dollar Blue Shadow sunglasses, with a pair of Dockers Lights sans-a-belts, and a shirt with a button down collar. An Ercoupe requires scuffed Jodhpur boots, Stone washed Levi's, an old sweatshirt covered by a leather G-2 jacket, and plastic lensed aviator suns. Then you use your only handkerchief to clean the dipstick, and clean the windshield. you walk over to the FBO and look over a year old copy of trade a plane that has a picture of a Coupe for sale that's in worse shape than yours, for $29,000.00. You lay down the Trade a Plane,( leaving it folded back to that particular page) Drink a warm coke out of the machine that's outside. All this before asking where the rest room is! Now that's "cool."
