Last week during my shopping rounds I stopped at one of the usual places for some stuff, and on my way out a gentleman with his bicycle and cell phone asks “What is that, a ‘72?” Figuring he must know 914’s I tell him, “No, it’s a 76” (I have backdated bumpers.)
Since I already had stuff in the frunk, I open the trunk but then think better of putting milk and OJ in over a hot engine. My man is watching the whole time. So I close the trunk and open the frunk, and put the package inside. Suddenly, he’s laughing, and yelling, “You just f’d me up, man, YOU JUST F’d ME UP!” Really much more humorous than stupid though. Never gets old... |

Never gets old... I love flipping peeps out by loading stuff into both trunks, "Where the hell is the engine man?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'm never pissy with the 914 uneducated, I often tell them about the car. I'm always amazed at how many people come up to me saying they or a family member had one. A guy the other week knew they came with a 1.8 and 2.0, but didn't know you could get one with a /6. |

Right on Mark, I totally enjoy chatting up with people that ask any question, regardless of how silly it may seem. So here’s today’s story. I go up to return bottles and cans, and pull into a parking spot. When I get out, I realize I had pulled in a little too far; my nose was about a foot over the line. No biggie, just reach in, release the e-brake and push back a bit. A guy asks, “Do you need a hand?” I’m like, no, I’m good, thanks. Then he proceeds to tell me that his brother had one, thought it was a million dollar car, blah blah blah. I ask him if his brother lived in a town a few miles away. Yes, he says. I then ask if his brother’s name was *$#%. He says yes, it is! Turns out , I looked at that car a few years ago, at least, and still kick myself occasionally for not buying it, as my car actually now sports the rear sway bar that came off it. Had a bunch of other good stuff too, including a perfect dash. Oh well... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
