Find and excuse, just to go out and drive the vette.

"Honey, we need ahhhhh toilet paper I'll be right back."
"Honey, we need ahhhhh blinker fluid, I'll be back they only sell it at the special auto zone."

There is absolutely nothing unusual about taking your Vette out to get toilet paper.

It's the going to get it one sheet at a time that might be questioned.
