What are the most memorable comments you've heard about your car?

Imagine if you owned a Fairmont? That would be a step up!

 

Today,at my son's sixteenth birthday party,some of his friends were duly impressed with the back-backseats that face each other,in my 86 Colony Park...They called it "sick" and "the bomb"---and that's good...
P.S.: at the top of the page,as I type this,there is a pic of what looks like a sapphyre blue Plymouth Roadrunner stationwagon...Cool...

 

I had a fellow today insist that my wagon was his old one. But it wasn't. And it's too bad he hadn't been in about 3 hours later, because the guy that I bought my wagon from was there LOL.

 

Went to Autozone and asked if they carried a Fuel Sending unit for my Monaco. The guy insisted that it was actually inside the fuel pump since the computer said so. That it wasnt aviable, that nobody makes that type. This guy actually told me this is what I get for owning an old Mopar since parts werent out there for them. I had to ask who hired him anyways . that hed be better off in the wonderful world of fast food.. then I stormed out.


There is a fuel sender unit on ebay for 89 dollars but I was hoping to find a cheaper one that I can take home today. That guy was a moron. He takes the award for saying the dumbest thing you can tell a customer.

 

Here's a few others without refried brains!

On the way to a cruise in south Jerz I was stopped in traffic, a guy on a bicycle that I had just passed came up the shoulder, he slowed and said
"that car is bad ass" got me all reved up.
A little later pullin into the cruise, me following my buddy in General Lee. A little girl about 6 or 7 see's the General and reponds look Daddy! and points to the orange car, then as I pass in the wagon, she lets out one word, "EWWWH" MPJ

 

Last July I had just bought some 18" OZ Novas and put them on my black

'94 Buick RMW. I went to a local hardware store, as I was getting out of

the wagon, and a guy in an mid '90's Volvo said "Wow those wheels look good!,

makes that ugly old wagon look half way decent." I was kind'a shocked

that someone would tell a guy that his car is ugly like that. So I

responded with "Man, it takes some nerve for a guy driving a Volvo to tell

me my car is ugly". He just looked at me and "apologized" saying "No, you

know what I mean, just a big old station wagon, it's not like a Camero or

Mustang." I just said "Thanks alot".

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

Well said!!!

 

Yeah, but I can understand where he's coming from. Those OZ wheels are so cool-looking that they make any car look 300% better (IMO).

Here's Stewart's Roadmonster, to show all what the wheels look like...

They do look classy don't they? Who'd a thunk a Roadie could be improved upon.

 

Couple weeks ago, I saw a girl I went to school with at a gas station. I was in line to prepay for my gas and told the clerk the pump number, she looked out and said "OMG you drive a grocery getter?" I puffed up my chest with pride and said "you bet your ass I do and I love it so much that I bought another one." She just laughed. I said "let me guess, you drive a Dodge minivan." She said "its a Chrysler, thank you." I started into a loud deep laugh, slapped my knee and said, "No, thank you, I really needed a good laugh." She could not understand what was so funny. I said "how many people does your soccer van haul?" She said "7 "and I said "how about mileage?" she said "about 18mpg." I said, "well Paula, my car seats 8 and I get 22mpg and can haul that pile of **** on a trailer when your tranny goes out before it hits 100K miles. Then when that thing hits 17 years old, it will be worth nothing or more likely, be in a junkyard. These wagons have a resale value and are built to last. Now you tell me what is so funny about me driving a wagon?" She said "its ugly." I said "and that is good looking?" Well I walked away, not being able to show her the light of anything, pumped my gas. Pulled around her van as she was getting in and stopped. I put my window down and said "hey Paula. Can your van do this?" and left the gas station with a nice long set of posi blackmarks and sideways onto Peach Street.

Some people are just so narrow minded about our wagons, yet they drive SUV's and Minivans. They have the nerve to call my cars ugly but drive a throw away minivan that will spend more time in the garage then it will in their driveways, all the while they are making payments on it and paying the garage for storage as its constanly parked there getting fixed after the warranty is gone.

 

Are you kidding? They charge you storage while its in to be repaired?!?! That would only happen once with me!

So, has the guy coughed up for the new grille and bumper?

 

Norm, I ment paying the garage to fix the car, its like making a payment for them to store it, while still making a monthly payment.

No, I have not had a chance to go get an estimate yet. Between my work hours and the wifes then having to be home with the babies, makes it really hard to take it to get a quote.

 

Whew, although their bills do look like mortgage payments.
