    I don't know, there is a person in our neighborhood that apparently yells at people to 'slow down', regardless of how fast they are going. They live on a street that I rarely need to travel down, but if they every do yell at me, my response will be - "Whhhaaaattttt ddddooooeeessss aaaaa yyyeeellllllllooowww lllliiiggghhhttt mmmeeeeaaaannnn?????"

    Was going through a stretch with a couple of very tight corners. You could try to go 35 through there, but good luck doing it. :eek:

    At a recent show, had a guy walk up to me by my 456 and make some admiring comments, then said he loved the Popup headlights. Proceeded to ask me if I could make them blink one at a time like a Miata. And he was totally serious. I just stared at him deadpan, and trying not to be too much of a Smart a$$ simply said, no they only work properly.

    Last week a guy said it was nice that my dad let me drive his car when I was done washing it. I'm 34.

    I just said wow, I haven't heard that one in a while. I think next time it happens I'm going to snap back about how my dad died the day before and how they are a piece of **** and see how far I can take it. It always comes from some 50-60 year old alcoholic at a bar that pissed their life away.

    I love this thread and I realized that is has been so buried that many members have forgotten about it and new members don't even know about it. So I wanted to get it back in the forefront. Here was one of my posts from 2020 -

    I was just registering for the FCA Annual Experience in Mont Tremblant when I remembered an experience we had one time when leaving Canada. It was a Sunday afternoon in the summer when we approached the border crossing in our 612 OTO. There were three lanes and each lane had about 20 cars in it. We were in the middle lane. I kept looking at my temp gauge anxious to get through and get moving again.

    When we reached the CBP officer he had a smile on his face. Now we travel out of the country several times a year and CBP officers are rarely smiling. They are polite and cordial, but very business-like. In jovial way he said I need to know where you've been, what you did, what you bought, what you are bringing back. He was obviously in a lighthearted mood. I answered his questions (as usual I didn't buy anything, only my wife bought stuff).

    As he handed our passports back, he pointed to a sign that was about 100 yards up the road. He asked, "How fast can this car get to that sign?" I knew what he was insinuating and asked, "Are you serious?" He leaned into my driver's window and with a huge grin said, "Hey, we can't give out tickets."

    So I rolled out of the shute and once clear I nailed it. The sound of my upgraded exhaust is just unreal, and I stayed on it well past the sign he had pointed out. I think it was his way of making an otherwise tedious and repetitive job just a little bit entertaining.

    The funny part of this was (and I hadn't thought about it), my wife said to me, "All those cars behind us must think we're running from the Border Patrol!" :D

    When I brought my first Ferrari home a bunch of years ago I was polishing it up in the driveway. A kid who lived on the corner said “nice mustang”. To which I replied, “that’s no way to talk to your father, now go tell your mother to make me a sandwich.... she knows how I like it.”





    Reason for edit: fix apple spell

    Not so much of a comment, but a reaction. I was moving away from a stop sign in my 360 this past summer, and there was a woman walking along the side of the road, going in the same direction. I (truly) gently accelerated away from the stop sign and passed her, probably not exceeding 3500 rpm in 1st. As I pass her, I look in the mirror and she's holding both hands up to her ears yelling at me and then gives me the finger. Granted the car is a little louder than stock with a Tubi, but apparently still too loud for her sensitive ears.
    My Tubi is music to my ears.
