stranger: "Well, at least you've got a big trunk."
me: "Nope no trunk, look under here - see, it's where the transmission is."

Every once in a while I will feel nutty and give totally off the wall answers before giving the real answer.

stranger: "That thing must ride like a dream."
me: "No, actually it ride kind of rough." Point at the front struts. "If I would have bought the optional springs and shocks it would probably ride a lot better."

me: "You know, its got a humongous battery" Mimic the actual size with hand gestures. "It stretches from one side of the car to the other."

me: "I thought I got a good deal, but when I looked over the car, they cheated me out of one whole side!"

So... are any of you wise guy's, too? Do you have any smart remarks when you feel in the mood?

On a related note, one day I was out running errands and within 5 minutes 3 people had asked how much the car cost. So the next time, a gentleman approached me when I was going to my car and he asked me if it cost $100K. I looked him right in the eye and told him the truth... yes!

My favorite personal story is when a 70ish guy walked up with his teen age grand daughter when I was pumping gas and asked what year car did my kit start out to be. I told him it was originally a 37 Ford and he immediately said to his grand daughter, "see, I told you.... I use to have one of those myself"

She said she had read about how Chrysler was making a car called a Prowler and she had thought that was what it was. You should have seen her smile when I told her to read the Shimmers on the back bumper!!

Is that a kit car? Yes and the damm people sent cheep glue with it. Nothing stays on!
Is that car fast? No it has a gocart engine.

Wow did you build that? Yes and I'm still trying to figure how to put a top on it.(only when the top is down)

But the best was a guy looking at the car for about 15 minutes asking questions and saying how much he wanted one comenting how fine it was then when he sees his friend he calls to him, hey bob come check out this VIPER! Cute thing is the car has plymouth prowler on the rear bumper and a great big banner across the windshield that says the same thing.

Not only a wise crack, but a really neat idea! Let's see, some peforated metal, shaped just right, a little paint, a short length of cable coming from under the car....yep, I think it is do-able and would really make a statement going down the street!!
