But the irony is that Lucy has a ridiculous number of lights! Of course, if they were on during the day, Lucy would be more visible, however then Battle Cattle would get yelled at by the same rude dude for blinding him.

 

Not funny, but extremely stupid.....a guy asked me after the Holidays, "So did you get a real car for Christmas?" Yup...he drives an SUV.

 

I saw this comic years ago when the original VW bugs were really popular.

There are these two women with VW beetles pulled over on the side of the road. One women has her hood to her beetle open and looks puzzled. The 2nd women says to first women "don't worry I have a spare one in the trunk you can have"

I was about 7 years old when I read that and even then I realized how sexist it was, but still found it amusing.

 

It was a classic. But my soon-to-be father-in-law isn't familiar with the classics; he just can't keep his movie titles straight.

 

Just last night as she leaned out the window of the Panda Express..."Is that some sort of military car?"

 

Maybe you should drive with a "few" of your lights on to help the "dimwits" see better.

 

Nice pun! And very cute sig!

I hope you at least ended up with the correct chinese food!

 

Stoped at a light this dork in an 84 vette with his woman pull us next to me and says, "whats it going to be when it grows up"? This left me completely speechless. His woman rolled her eyes at him and had this look like what am I doing with this guy. He was like that car salesman in the movie True Lies. He thought he was God because of his lame Vette.

 

As the owner (and driver) of two classic Minis (and they do start and drive any time I want to take them out, but it takes effort to keep them that way), I had several decades of "clown car" experience before I got my MCS. My two "best" stupid comments have been:

1. At a British car show I was cleaning the bugs off the front license plate on my 67 Cooper S when someone came up and asked me if it was legal to drive on the road with that itty bitty car. I continued cleaning the plate and when done, I stood up and said, "The state seems to think so, but let's not tell them."

2. My wife and I were driving in our Morris Mini Traveller woody and pulled up in the line to pay a toll in the state of NY somewhere, when a huge lady in a very beat up Chevy Caprice pulled up in the next line, rolled down her window and yelled, "Hey, how do you get in that tiny thing?" I slid my side window forward to yell back, "Usually I just open the door and sit down, but if they aren't working, I slide in the window!" The toll collector was laughing so hard when I pulled up, he just waved me through.

 

I lied, actually, there were three great comments:

3. Once on trip from far-by-gosh-west-Texas to New Jersey, I stopped a rest stop (was in classic Cooper S) on I-81 in western Virginia. When I came out a lady was looking over the car, and she tells me I had passed them some mile back and wanted to know what kind of car it was. When I told her it was "a mini." She replied, "I can see that, but a mini what?" I laughed and we had an interesting conversation about the origins, history, mileage etc.

 

You know I've had this happen once or twice and my come back is always the same. "Yo" corvette, Well I got'ta ask myself what short comings are you trying to make up for".

 

I pulled into a tire place and a customer ther asked me how I liked my triumph

 

I'm tempted to sometimes tell them I get about 80 miles per gallon, shake my head sadly and say, "but I gotta use premium."

 

As I recall someone on NAM had said that an SA had told him the Nav didn't need to get updated discs, that it got the information from the satellite

 

Thanks batgirlwildcat! The Imag-A-Mini came in quite handy for it. Still haven't perfected the wheels. Every time I try to draw them in, it looks like something blew up. I'm working on a better one, but I'm not having much time to work on it right now.

We LOVE the pink stripes and Union Jack on Malibu Stacy! BTW, she's the Queen of Hearts, and Gromit's the Two of Clubs.

 

I can't wait to see the entire deck of cards!

 

I would but when a semi flashes his High beams at your on a divided highway... 4 foot barrier inbetween us I think he sees me well enough

dont know why people in cars cant!

"How's the gas mileage in that thing?"

I don't mind conversations with strangers at gas stations... I'm gonna use LombardStreet's idea... "80 miles to the gallon, but I gotta use premium... and fill it every third week!" "This car's ok... if you don't mind having six airbags in an accident." "Yeah, it's small... At work I just keep it in my desk drawer so no one messes with it."

 

We were leaving the parking garage at Sugar Land Town Center with the sun roof open and windows down as it was such a nice evening. When a woman who was walking with her little boy said "Look at that little car". I looked at here and said "It might be little but it goes very fast". And then proceded to demonstrate it.

The worst thing my wife ever said after we first got Dixie was "Let's take the baby car". My response was "The car is not a baby. It is as big as it is ever going to get." She has not done that since.

 

I just tell them it would be impossible....They're too busy stopping to gas up

 

Okay I had just bought new wheels for my MINI and put Red center caps on. A girl from work comes out and says" It's almost perfect, but I would have made all them be the same direction" she was talking about the Word MINI in the center caps. I just looked at her and walked away.

 

That's pretty stupid!!!

 

Yes but I had to work with her also

 

This is great.
I may say "ONLY" 45 instead of 80, just to make it more believable. Possibly add, "and it cost $30 bucks to fill the darn thing" (insert another discusted look).

Same thing with the air bags; "ONLY six"

 

The new Rolls Royce Phantom actually has that; the centre caps actually keep the RR orientate for correct reading when the wheel is spinning. Who really cars about this and what cost it added is a mystery to me.
