Quiet or what?

The other day I was leaving work, I was sitting in my car this guy comes over to the window ( a fellow worker ) I put down the window and he kneels down with his arms resting on the sill. He asked me a few questions and before he leaves he says what year is this car? I said 92, he says nice shape, how does it run, I said you tell me it's running. He didn't believe me so I goosed it. he said I'll be darn. That is not the first time someone didn't believe it was running. One guy told me I left my lights on , I said it's ok it's running. Anyone else have this happen?

I am glad you brought this up. After I bought mine, my wife came out to ask me a question, I got out of the car, leaving it running.....we had a chat and then I told her I would be in once I turned off the car. She looked at me kinda funny. I then realised something I had not considered since my rotary days, damn this thing IS quiet. I had to do the MAN thing by pretending that this was not the first time I had noticed it....I told her, yeah...pretty quiet, eh?

I think that was their main reason for putting a tach in an automatic vehicle. If I've got the radio on I've gotta look at the gauge to see if it's running...

LOL i do the same thing whenever i stop , i check the tach to make sure it hasn't stalled and stopped. I used to drive an accord and I could always tell it was running be the steering wheel vibrating, in the SVX I don't even get that.

Also when I showed my dad for the first time, he said < hmm it looks nice, why don't you fire it up?... I reply... It's running....... he says... Daaaaaamn

good times
