Scowled at by an old lady! Woo-HOO!!

That's some funny stuff right there. Or maybe you reminded her of a lover once scorned.............................all those years ago.

 

Dude you got serious game.

 

Next, make children cry.

 

I am so thankful that I don't have to wake up with some of the negitive looks I get. I do love it when a couple is next to me and the chick is smiling from ear to ear also with a winking eye and the significant other is getting pissed.....light changes I rev and he peels out in his Toyota.....LMFAO

 

she probably called "shotgun" but got beat out by the youngin' in the front.

I wonder if the ricer crowd has this same discussion? I know I scowl when I pull up next to one !

 

I'll tell mom to lighten up a bit.

 

-She's just mad, 'cus you're having fun!

 

Maybe she was scowling,because she was stuck in the back seat of a boring car. She was jealous!

 

You need to take that as a compliment. If you never piss off anybody, you need to think about that even more...

 

I think its kind of humbling when people take offence at your car. I mean when they comment positively on it your just like " yea i know its cool i built it". But when they get all pissed its very confusing and you have to figure out what there buggin about. Usually its nothing of importance and that just makes you think about how much cooler of a person you are than the rest of the crazies out there

 

does it leave a cloud of smoke when you start it up? that usually gets some bad looks...

 

She probably would have been scowling at you no matter what you pulled up in. Grumpy old ladies don't smile fer nuthin!

 

I've had similar experiences with the 48 and the 51 Merc. Cruise down the road and some nifty gal is giving the car and me the eye while her male companion is oblivious while he motors along in his BMW 3 something. And the guy always gets torqued when he figures out what is going on.

 

Some of you guys are real ambassadors for the hobby . . .and some aren't.

Such is life.

Never had a problem, the ladies seem to like my 32 and I've heard more than a few interesting stories.
Most of them served up with a smile.

And . . .before you bash the little old ladies too much, give a listen to this:

Thats the funniest thing I've heard in days!

 

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You made me spit diet pepsi on the keyboard!!!!!!

 

sounds like he got the whoopin he deserved LMAO !

 

See, usually I get a lot of positive looks and comments from those older than myself, many of whom remember someone who had one "just like that" (which always makes me smile to myself, except once the dude started talking about all the lead his buddy used and I realized he really did know someone with a car "just like that"). My favorite was a woman in her 60s in some tiny town in Oklahoma where I'd stopped for lunch. She said "Is that a Mercury? I had a boyfriend with a Mercury and it had windows like that" and she made a gesture like long and thin, and I thought holy cow, this woman dated a guy with a chopped merc back in the day!
I think this particular cranky older American just saw the flat black primer, thought "hot rod hooligan!" and that was that. It just struck me because it was so atypical. I still have a warm feeling 24 hours later though - she made me feel young and wild! That's the gift that keeps on giving.

 

Over the summer I had an old lady about 80 something give me the thumbs up, I was surprised she even knew what it ment..lol

 

Her look didn't have anything to do with your car... she probably had gas, or just found a leak in her Depends.

Sam.

 

I always listen for the sound of door locks engaging when I pull up at a redlight on one of my scooters.

I'd do the same in my truck but the danged pipes are too loud to hear anything but ringing in my ears.

 

when i was younger i would scare old women and children alike in my 67 Chevy van that was all spray painted up and looked like i had parked it on the wrong side of town

 

Back around 63-64, we used to backfire at old ladies, hell at anyone! The old turn the key off, floor it, turn the key back on trick. Trouble was we kept splitting mufflers!

 

Maybe she was wondering who stole the radio,steering wheel,dash,etc.Happened to me once when I was wasted.Took a while to figure it out. ---bil

 

Whats the big deal?

They scowl me all the time even if im not in a car

 

Ya shoulda leaned over to her and said...."Hey Toots.......whats your name doll ? "

 

Sorry that was my Grams she's a Ford gal!

 

I WAS ON THE I-5 ONE AFTERNOON. MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, A 60 SOMETHING YEAR OLD WOMAN WITH BLUE/WHITE HAIR WAS PASSING ME IN HER FORD SOMETHING OR ANOTHER. SHE SLOWED DOWN AS SHE PASSED ME AT ABOUT 65MPH.. LOOKED ME IN THE EYES, REACHED UP AND LOCKED HER DOOR..
