For two days in a row I have had people come up to me and ask the familiar line, "Hey, what year is that?"
Two days ago, I pulled into my driveway in the mountains and a Jeep Wrangler drove by. Then he stopped and backed up and asked me "What year is that?" Told him and he said he once had TWO of the same model as mine! He laughed and said "Mine used to smoke like that too." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Found out he lives on the next block! Last night I was leaving Costco. Had my seat belt on, lights on, and was ready to back out. This guy ran across the parking lot and said those infamous words "What year is that?" Then the conversation proceeded as follows: "Did you get a good deal on it?" "Yes" "Did you have to do anything to it?" "I had it repainted and put new floor mats in it." "It sounds great." "Thanks." " I Love These Cars. I've gotta run." And he proceeded to run back across the parking lot. I drove home with Permagrin. Well, mostly because I drive 20 miles of twisties to get home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

All of those people don't care what year it is, they all just want the chance to talk to you, didn't you know that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I had the same thing a couple months ago at school. Some kid asked what year it was, and I told him. He seemed like he didn't really know what it was, but he liked it anyways. He's all, "those are really rare, huh." I was like, "I wouldn't say that, but they are old, and a lot of people aren't willing to put up with their quirks day to day." He told me it looked clean, even though the paint job is completely haggared. I was thinking, "yeah, right", but I thanked him and he was on his way. 914s definitely are a conversation starter, but the first line I usually get is, "Hey, is that thing fast?" My answer's always the same, "Depends one what road you're on." BTW Toast, I like those roads too. I go play around up there on a regular basis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Mark D. |
