I'm Insulted!
 
Went through a local drive-thru with my SVX the other day. I tend to get questions from the people working when they see the odd windows. This time it was the wrong kind of question.

"Is That A Ford Probe?"

AAaaaaarrrrgggghhh!

:confused:

:eek: How rude.

I've gotten Dodge Stealth before...

Alycone 09-20-2003 11:44 PM

Stealth's a better mistake, but why don't people just ask "What kind of car is that?" Instead they try to guess when they obviously don't know.

I told someone my windows were custom....he thought that was pretty cool :cool:

I've heard 3kGT, Stealth, Eclipse, Probe, New BMW (I have no idea which). Probe got to me as well. But they don't know so we have to educate.

I got "Is that a Ferrari?" at a checkers drive through once...

Also, this one time, this 10 yr old girl said that my rear windows were cool... I said thanks, but thought, Just the rear windows are cooL?

The only one I've gotten was "Corvette", so I was pretty happy with the comment. But I know the woman, and she really couldn't tell a Corvette from a Chevette.

Oricalm 09-21-2003 07:09 PM

heh. All I've ever gotten is dumbfounded stares that say "My Lord! What the Hell is that!?" And I have to say, I love messing with the drive-through people's minds when they realize it's a half-window.:D

Subafreak 09-21-2003 07:29 PM

Yeah it's fun messin with people who think the windows are custom. Oh yeah I just cut the glass in half, or, Yeah it's the auto vent shade it looks factory dont it. Then when you tell them the truth they don't get it.

My favorite was "Is that a jaguar?"
My least favorite was, "Looks like a stretched out Eclipse."

I actually had someone ask me "Is that a Lotus?"

Tome the body does look a little like a Lotus. Not the windows though. The girl with the pearlie around here said they keep asking her if its a Celica. A Celica???? I dont see it?

I guess being called a 'Ford Probe' is better than a 'Saturn'!:eek:
