I drive my car everyday Group: Members Posts: 8,309 Joined: 8-May 03 From: Tulsa, Ok. Member No.: 666 |
Was filling my gas tank yesterday when I heard a commotion and a couple guys yelling behind me. When I turned around I found they were yelling at me. I looked under my car to check for gas pouring out, but it was dry. They were yelling about me putting gas in my engine. One of them said the gas goes in the back. I told them to relax, I was putting it in the tank. Then they started arguing with me.when I showed them the tank and the engine they were amazed at my skills for moving the engine to the middle. They just refused to believe it came that way. Less than a mile away, I made another stop and someone in the parking lot asked if that top came off. I simply said yes. as he was walking around the car he said "that's a karman ghia right"? I was gonna just say yes but he saw the hood badge and said "oh, it's a Porsche, no it's not! You just stuck the emblem on there". I just walked off. I've been dealing with this crap for 40 years. Why can't people just mind their own business? If every guy who's told me his best friend had one in college really had one there would have been two million made. Now I'm not adverse to talking about my car, but at least ask a real question and stop lying. Had one guy tell me he used to do frame off restorations to them in the 70's. Huh? Go away dude.

Took Huey out today, need to get miles on him from the engine rebuild before the autocross this weekend. Had to stop at Lowes on the way home, and I parked way out in the lot.
Came out, there was a guy in a pickup truck stopped taking pictures. When I walked up he asked "I assume that has a 6 in it right? What size?" I said "3.2" to which he said 'Damn man! My little 2.2 I used to have was a screemer...i can't imagine what a 3.2 would be like!" We chatted a bit more, a handful of people came over to look at the car, and amazingly, nobody thought it was some other car besides a Porsche (then again, it does say it down the rockers...) Not that Huey is stealth or anything... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) EVERY time we take him out, someone comments/takes pictures/asks if the kids can sit in it, etc. Very cool, always ablidge especailly with the kids...gotta start them young! |
