"Hey, What year is that?", Tell us your stories. Options

[Toast]

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)

I'm out driving the LE when a Ford F-150 passes me & suddenly screaches to a halt. I look in the rear view mirror & see this guy franticaly trying to turn his truck around. I keep on going & eventually pull into a 7-11. I come out of the 7-11 & the Ford is right next to Knikki & the guy is creaming in his pants. I ask if I can help him & he asks what year is she. Says he never saw one like that but remembers the cars & has a gift for me. I look at him like he's some sort of lunatic & say "ok?" He reaches into the back of his truck & hands me a jack to a 914-6. I recognized it immediately, but also knew my jack for the LE was in the back of my car & was completely different. He said he' been carrying it around for years & was waiting to see a teener to give it to them. I took it & said thanks. Years later when I went shopping for the six I noticed it was missing it's jack & didn't care. Used that to help lower the price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .
