Same as always..last one was what kind of car is that? I mean is it like a kit you put together? Lastest one was is that a real one or a fiero?
Sometimes you just don't know what to say. This weekend at the pump a fellow yelled out "308?" I said "yeah. A GT/4. Most people don't recognize it". He replied "love them Magnum cars".
I was stopped at a red light on a 4 lane road, windows down in my Italia. UPS truck pulls up next to me and the driver leans out the door and yells "Mine's louder!". Made me chuckle a bit.
I was at a stoplight last Saturday and heard, "Sir, SIR." I looked over and there was a lady (mid 50's) in a Subaru hatchback. "Do you want to race?" she said. I laughed and replied, "No, you will probably beat me." And added, "this car draws too much attention." To which she replied, smiling, "You get what you pay for!" I laughed and waved as we drove off.
I was asked: How much are the payments on that car? I said: They're not too much now; but, the first one was a killer.
On our way home from the Colorado Grand we stopped in to get gas in Leadville (over 10k ft above sea level). A man looked at the car and said: that's a nice car but I like old chevies m'self. His wife said: that's a beautiful car. I said: thank you. BTW Leadville has more trailers and double wides than homes. Population about 2600.
A friend I know is considering an R8, so I pointed out that an F430 should be an option to consider as well. He said (based on what he's heard) he didn't want the expense of an engine out to change the oil. How do these rumors even start!!
Last week, I was illegally packed waiting for my wife. A cop drives by with a stern look on his face, rolls down his window. I figured I was about to get the evil rich bastard who inconsiderately parks where "Timmy the crippled kid needs to stop his wheelchair van" lecture. Instead, the cop throws both arms out the driver's window and shouts "I love it" and then...speeds off. I have not laughed so hard in weeks.
Recently my daughter bought a mustang. It would be fun to replace the pony badges with prancing stallions. I am somewhat afraid one of you guys would vandalize it. Plus, we don't need anymore confusion, so I will leave it alone.
Plus an original flat black cavallino on the back of the Testarossa runs about $400. Expensive prank!
It's funny how they think that one must really, really get under our skin. Especially from the guy on a bicycle!
Leaving Lowes, a man with questionable dental work offered me $5 for my 360. I was too baffled to respond... Some people...
My GF and I were out one evening in rural WI. We were eating on a cafe patio when we observed the following conversation: 50 ish man to 20 something son: No, its not a new corvette, its the new mustang, see the Ford Mustang symbol 70 Something old lady with a scotch looking drink in her hand standing next to them (retorting in her old lady voice): Jeeeeeeeeeeesussssssssss Chriiiiiiiiust!!!!!!!!!!! Tom. The last pretty thing ford ever made were the B-24's i worked on at willow run. How could you possibly confuse a mustang with a Ferrari Dino GT4??!!!! Stunned, my GF and I looked at her and I had to ask how did she know? She walks over to me and whispers in my ear: I read the trunk when we came in but don't let him know. As they walk away, i hear her say this to the older man: you should be ashamed confusing a ford for ferrari as much as u brag about knowing cars. As we left, i gave the waiter $40 and told him her bar tab was on us. Made a great day better.
