I appreciate the compliment but....

I've heard the dunebuggy and t bucket comments a lot with my model a sedan. I bet everyone here with any kind of patina or primer has heard the dreaded "RR" comment.

I think the funniest thing I ever heard was the guy that asked if my dads deuce 5 window was a 57 chevy!

 

Are you sure he was driving a Lexus? Maybe he's sitting somewhere right now thinking "that stupid hot rodder" he couldn't tell the difference between a Lexus and an Infinity.......................... Did ya ever think of that?

 

That thing got a Hemi?

 

Oh yea I can get 100 good complements that make no sense
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o> </o>
but its that one negative one that’s eats at me for at least a day

mazooma1 check out my tread Mock up help for my 29 i respect your Opinion

 

yep had one just like it

 

Exactly, Some of these guys will make comments about your hot rod hoping to get you to notice and make some compliment about their whatever.
They couldn't care less about your car, but they want you to care about theirs. .

"couldn't tell" and "don't give a shit" are two completely different things

 

The guy paid you a compliment. Don't laugh at other people's ignorance. Smile, and say "thank you". He was not attempting to amuse anyone.

 

It makes ya crazy---but at least the guy was complimentery. One time back in '96 I was blasting around town in my fenderless 27 T roadster---a car pulled up beside me, rolled down the window, and a litttle old lady asked if my car was one of those new Dodge Prowlers. I assured her that it was, and directed her to the local Crysler dealership.

 

funny

 

Are you SURE it's not a 34? My 55 Olds has been called a BelAir more times than I can remember.

 

Exactly my point. I said thanks, told him it was a 29 RPU and told him to have a nice day.
You will notice that in my original post I did say I chuckled and not I was mad or unhappy. I appreciated the compliment.

 

Not much headroom in that coupe- you gave it a heavyduty chop, huh...

 

Lexus, 'nuff said

 

had someone think my truck was chevy and it said ford on the tailgate!! go figure!

i wish i had a coupe like that too!!!!

 

Pshh, yeah what a dumbass. Everybody knows that '34s didn't come with those tires!...

 

Those rice furnaces extract dangerous fumes. First sign that the fumes are affecting you are stupidity, Second sign is your foot gets inserted directly into mounth

 

Par for the course.

 

A friend called me the other day to ask if I had made any progress on my rat rod T bucket.
I said, you mean that 32 ford 5 window I been working on.

 

I worked as a grocery carry out while in school in the early 70's.
I was waiting for one little old lady to unlock her green Impala so I could load her groceries..She paused..Oh that's not my car.. It's that one over there. She had a green Galaxie 500. We all have different priorities.

 

at least he didnt jump out and carjack you , whats wrong with a compliment or two with the purchase of your dimebag!

 

I know too many people that call anything from around the early to mid 30's a roadster. Whether it's open OR closed.
BTW, my favorite?=What year's your Deuce?

 

What a moron! It's obviously a 57 chevy...
I always just grin and say thanks. Can't fault someone for not knowing what year an old car is.

 

I have a friend that had a pro street monte carlo with a blower motor, and at a car show had a older lady come up to him and ask, Whats that thing an top of your engine? Straight faced, and polite, he proceeded to explain that it was a cement mixer, that you put a bag of cement in there (air scoop) and it mixes it up, and cement comes out these pipes in the back. She was amazed! and had never seen such a device. We could hardly keep from rolling on the grass in laughter... - hence the car was always known as Huffy the cement mixer there after.

 

Smart ass whippersnappers

 

So what year is it?

 

looks exactly like my 34 coupe. except mines a chevy, red and built in 1972.

 

is that a hemi?

 

That looks a lot like my old RPU.



Anymore I just say 'yes' to whatever most folks guess about my 40.

 

Did you compliment him on his nice Toyota...Lexus owners love that one
