I got another one today in the Jack in the box drive through.

him: Thats a nice car, is it fast?
me: its pretty quick.
him: do you race alot
me: not really
him: so its all just for looks then.
me: no, I have some performance parts for it
him: did you put that hood on? ( its the stock hood) and those wheels (there stock to)
me: No, all that came with the car. I got to go.

That is by far the worst i have got so far.

i went to a wheel and tire shop locally to get some prices on gold wheels. conversation as follows:
me: i was wondering if you could show me some gold wheels, and prices?
him: gold wheels?
me: somtimes they're called bronze.
him: what kind of car is this for?
me: a WRX.
him: what? whats that?
me: is a subaru (i point to it out in the parking lot)
him: gold rims? ive been in the business 18 years and ive never heard of them.

i promptly left. i would have asked him if he had heard of BBS wheels but i didnt want to hear his reply. 18 years in the business and he had never hear of a WRX? or gold wheels? wow.

Been in the "business" for 18 years but has never heard of Subaru? Good thing you promptly left. I wouldn't even let that guy put gas in my car.....

I notice people ask me what kind of MPG I get every time I fill up. Not really new but had two people come over and ask today. (280 ish was my best on one tank)

Funny funny ish. Made me laugh for the rest of the day.

Got the thumbs up from an old lady in her Forrester as she pulled away from the gas station and said, " glad we didn't get those gas-guzzling SUV's?!!!"

I just smiled and whispered...I'm catless.... I hate the environment.........





*disclaimer*
Forrester's are cool, I know. Not all are driven by old ladys.
Not everyone who runs catless hates the environment.
