"That's a cute dune buggy"

YOU CAN HEAR THIS??

 

Just playing mate, all capitals are 'yelling' in internet etiquette.

 

Turn your caps off.

 

I’m at the gas station with my Dodge Challenger.

A guy walks up and says, “Nice Chevelle man”.

 

SORRY 'BOUT THAT... THE DIET COKE SPILLED INTO THE KEYBOARD SEEMS TO HAVE ME STUCK IN UPPERCASE MODE.. NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT..

 

This was when I was in my 20's , along time ago. I use to drive my lowered 51 Chevrolet everyday to work , and it was a rat before the term was used. It looked decent on the outside, but the interior only had the front seat, the rest was bare metal , rusty holes, trash etc. I come up on a infamous hidden traffic stop with state patrol, dogs everything, in the middle of the day. Had to put the joint out, get rid of evidence thru the rusty floorboard. I could see the little plastic baggie rolling to the side of the road in my rear view mirror. Luckily, they didn't see that, and the car is so well "ventilated" , they did'nt smell anything. When I rolled up, they all started laughing at my 51 Chevy because it was so low and it had no interior. After they checked me out, they didn't dare go in the rusty insides, one of them says, " you gonna fix this car up?" I said yes , I'm always working on it etc. Then he says " Not in your lifetime" with a lot of attitude, and he wasn't smiling. What a asshole. Well , I went back after they were gone and reclaimed my bag of weed which was still on the side of the road, and thought about it. It was a weird feeling!

 

I was working on the chassis of my A coupe at my bosses shop,and a guy walks past and asks in all seriousness "are you building a go-kart?" I'm thinking what kind of Briggs and Stratton would you put on there??

 

Well at least she didn't call it a "Dunny Bug"!!!!

 

"I like your hearse" yeah i get that alot too. i dont even correct the clueless, i just smile and say thank you. i actually saw a model T dunebuggy in glamis sand dunes a couple years back. it was basically just a "ratrod"-for lack of a better term, with paddle tires on the back, and a flathead with a blower on it.

 

Wow Cory, now I know why the drawings you did for me are so good....I might have to slip you a 20 when I send out my next idea! So how is your chevy going? I've never seen it

 

Hey Silent_Orchestra, you don't have to pay me , I'm rich! No , seriously, I pm'ed you. My 51 will be on here someday.

 

I once saw Hulk Hogan in downtown Cincinnati and I yelled 'Dog the Bounty Hunter, we love you!" I knew who he was, I just felt like being an asshole. Luckily for me, Hulkamania did NOT run wild on my ass...

 

I was driving my brother's '57 150 and had a guy at the gas station arguing that it was a '55 because 57's don't have chrome like that.

 

thanks for the laugh thats hilarious.

 

Well shit, if your rich, I'm the king of England!! Yee Haa!!

 

I get the that`s a nice roadster all the time in my coupe .

when someone asks what year it is ..... I think it`s 2008 ?

we were leaning up against a buddy's chopped 50 ford
and a guy ask us what it had in it?
and I told him a bunch of beer can`s right now.

 

When you going to paint that? ----- I just say with a very straight face, " It took 45 yrs to get it to look like that, and you want me to mess it up?"

They usally go away after that.

About 13 yrs ago I had a juiced body dropped mazda cut to the door. The hood was cut out for clearence for a little while untill I was able to lower the motor.

Many, many times while the truck was parked, laid out, I would overhear people explain to the less intellignt, and less informed that when the truck was raised up the motor would go down under the hood.

 

I get the "nice Merc" and is that the car from "Cobra" all the time. It doesn't bother me at all.

The ones that get me is when someone wants to correct me, and argue over what my car "really is." It just blows me away. Usually its the guy showboating for his girl. Oh well.

 

Bonsey I had a toe to toe fight with a guy once over my car. He got real worked up that I didnt know that my 38 standard Ford Club Coupe wasnt infact a Chev. His reasoning? It was RED, thats a chev colour!

 

wow this thread is old as hell an still kickn.. Hulk-a mania..haaa.

 

And it takes two hours to read if you read fast.
In the early 70's my father in law needed a "white 4 door sedan" for work as a outside salesman for a bearing house in Waco. Anyhow I asked him "what engine does it have?" He replied "A blue one". It ended up that he had a not so economical 390 but he could make a lot of calls in a day's time.

 

Yesterday,a guy at work asks me what "Bucksnort Enterprises"means on my work truck.Tell him its' my DBA and got it from the name of my old drag car.Started talking cars and he says"my dad is restoring his 1955 Bel Air Cadillac".Hey,OK,thats neat.Gotta go.

 

I recalled the title of this thread last night when my wife told me about an e-mail she got from a friend of hers:

"I saw your husband driving his funny old dune buggy today..."


'29 RPU.

 

my monitor is a mess now thank you very much! LMFAO!!

 

There's a jackass in Tucson that drives a 65 c10 shortbed thats nearly a twin to mine. Nearly is because mine has factory A/C and his is add-on. He was swearing up and down that his was factory air and mine wasn't. He got all offended and walked away when I showed him my factory bracket to hold the compressor. Mine is horizontal his is vertical. I avoid that prick everytime I see him.

I'm f'ing sick of getting told I need to put a 350 in my truck and get rid of the 292. Damn idiots...

 

Yes, jackass is exactly what I was thinking when I read your thread.

Then again, I call EVERY vehicle with a vertical condensor bracket a dune buggy so, what do I know?

 

some people think my 54 chevy is a Merc or a car JUST like in the movie Christine...

 

my drunken neighbor thinks my 53 f250 is a woody,

 

Driving home last night I realized I called the compressor a condensor. Looks like I'm the jackass now .


A former coworker told me his nova was a 72 instead of a 71 because it had seatbelts...

 

My wife had my 33 Plymouth coupe at work on day and a customer said that she parked by the dune buggy, she called and told me laughing.
