someone asked me about my car today

so i was on my way to work today sitting at a stop light...not in a very good mood because after all the work we have done to my GFs car it still sucks! it just dies for no apparent reason and the oil temp gauge is jacked to cus when u start it up it says its hot....

but anyways...i was sitting there thinking about it and all of a sudden i hear a "HEY!! is that some kind of a special edition, to have the windows like that?" first thing that popped in my head was "what? what do you mean they all look like this " but instead i replied "no, its just an SVX" then he chuckled and said "cool" and drove off cus the light changed.

just thought id share that cus it made me a little happier

i wonder what he thought it was?

Re: someone asked me about my car today

The best one I got was when a chik-fil-a drive through lady tapped on the window and asked if it was a "body kit".

I had my car towwed Friday afternoon and the tow guy whom was obviously West-European/East-Asian said he had an SVX and "sent it back home".

After we dropped it off at the shop, he asked me if I was selling it.

Re: someone asked me about my car today

I like the one from the bank drive through. "Good mornig Mr. Brandner, we will have this right out for you". Then, before the mike is off, "Look there's that car with the strange windows I was telling you about".
