What crosses a person's mind when they see our cars?

Id rather people say that then ''nice R** Rod

 

I did and I thought in 1962 nobody gave a 1955 a second look.

 

"Bon Scott Lives"

 

what do people think?---------where's the rest of that guys old car?

I read this quote in TRJ some time ago. When someone sees a Porsche going down the road, people think "There is a rich dude" When they see a hot rod, they say "Cool car"

 

probably thinkin..."how can I get around this guy"

 

Most think "...is he ever gonna' finish that thing?"

 

I had two PA state police come up to my rod and the one asked bet it's fast. The other one looks at him and said he like to take it out and open it up! These are the guys who smile at you when you pass them along the road going 80 in a 40 mile speed limit.

stuck in traffic other day nobody could hear to talk on their cell phones. people around me cranked up windows.

 

Same here and my car's a Chevy.

 

Probably something like "I hope Obama bans those in-efficiant polluters! They could make 10 of my Corollas out of it"

 

Prolly one of the following two:

1. Been there done that

or

2. Wish I could be there to do that

 

I had only owned my shoebox for an hour or two, driving home in it the first time, doing 65 on the freeway when a newer red corvette pulled alongside, slowed, looked it all up and down, gave me a thumbs up and accelerated away. - HA!

A good friend, who is NOT a car guy, when he saw my 'new car' said "You bought THAT? WHY?"

A musician friend who arrived at the studio before me (and didn't see the car), when we were loading out -
"Who's car is THAT?"
Mine.
"Oh! I LOVE old cars... can I smell it?"
I opened the door, and she sat and took a big whiff and smiled.
"I love the way old cars smell... is that weird?"
Not at all.

 

most of the time its's "YO HE NEED TO PUT SOME DUBS ON DAT SHIT!!!"

or "HOW MUCH YOU SELL DAT FOR?!!?!"

 

"mommy, why is that old man in that funny car naked?"

 

"Look at that ugly fuck weasel in that old piece of shit truck"

 

Bill thanks for being so nice to my grandma you really made her day!!

I had a meeting yesterday in Monterey Park (East LA) so when it was over I cruised back to Ventura County at the usual fast-lane 80 mph with the BMWs, MBZ and the occasional Corvette. When I got off the freeway an older guy in a new Mustang pulled beside and said "wow....whatcha got under the hood?"..........I yelled back, "Cadillac"!..........he mulled it over for a few seconds and said, "...aha....THATS why you were cruisin' so easy". I love it when they think it should only have 85 hp.

 

A . usually when I'm filling up..' what year ? or ' What's the 41 for ' ?
B . When @ a stop light, you know their thinking ' Hope it starts or hope it doesn't die '..
C . But the best is, rollin down the highway & the thumbs UP from young & old .

-41-

 

What do they think? Fenderless'29 roadster with a 454 and sprint car headers!
" Jesus!! Run!!!"

 

What a handsome driver it has.

 

Why doesn't he paint that P. O.S. Then they see the huge brakes and the carbon fiber in the fenderwells....... a little blip of 620 horses and even the Lambo and Porsche guys turn at the next corner and run.......

 

They were probably thinking, just before the crash, very cool car; after the crash, damn I should have been watching where I was driving.

 

Well, I didn't say he gave it a second look in 62. BUT, he may have in 2008 (when he bought mine) because of the gleam in his eye from 62.

 

I used to get thumbs up and smiles now and then with mine. Had a lady clerk in a gas station ask me about my Chevy when I brought it home. Now they ask me if the springs in my truck are shot. One of them is -

Sometimes you have to wonder if people have a mind for anything to cross, though.

The best one I got was with the beater when it was about half roller-painted blue, some lady asked me if it used to be a state truck, because her husband bought her a used car from the state in like 1971 and it was the same color. Which was a nice story and all, but I don't think the state painted half rusted away cars with a roller with rough, fisheyed paint with so much dirt in it a blind guy running his hands over the fenders would think he was reading War and Piece (as in piece of crap)...

 

But, you DID paint it. Ya should've did a blow by blow thread on that

 

Another I like to do with the HellRaiser, is if I'm in town, and like some of the others have said, at a stop light, and some young snot nose in his newer Mustang or what ever, He rev's up his engine like he's got something his hood, and I'll flip the gas pedal a couple of times then I just putter away from the light making him wonder, like Dirty Harry, "Could I have beat that HellRaiser or not". That always puts a smile on MY face.

I don't street race, (unless it looks might be a good race and the road is clear) HeeHee

What is my daughter doing in that death trap with that hoodlum.

 

My stock answer to the questions about gas mileage is,
"I don't have a clue. I enjoy burning up gas for the fun of it!"

The remark gets a lot of laughs, I'm not sure it's because they think I'm funny, or an idiot.

 

Play that again..............
