I find it very interesting what people say to you in a gas station of a parking lot when they see your hot-rod or custom motorcycle.
Here are the one's I always got with my radical street rods (keep in mind some of these are nearly 500hp with mail slot windows and look like either a ZZ top music video or belong at drag night:
Q1: "Is it yours?"
A1: "Nope....it's a rental."
Q2: "How much is it worth?"
A2: "How much do you have" - or - "Before or after the wreck?"
Q3: "Who build it?"
A3: "I did" (and wishing I hadn't) - or - "Somebody else" (wishing I had). I'll be quoting the later when my VS shows up....
Q4: "Is it fast?"
A4: "It will do zero to a hundred Dollars in 4.2 seconds" - probably my favorite question.
Q5: "How long have you had it..."
A5: "Since the guy at the gas station left it running when he went in to pay for gas...."
Q6: "Do you get a lot of tickets?"
A6: "Not very many officer....is that gonna change now?"
Q7: What does it do? (asked by a couple of german business guys to my dad after I did a loud rolling burn out).
A7: "It converts gasoline to noise...."
Q8: "Is it a kit?" - asked to my dad about one of his one-off race boats (this is a good one....LOL)"
A8: "Yes, it came with 55 saw blades, 2900 screws, 300 pounds of raw aluminum, and 93 BOXES of BAND-AIDS.."
Q9: "How does it handle?"
Q9: "It's got GO all figured out!. Turns are exciting but managable. Stop is configured by the level of adreline you have that motiviates you to try to get it under control...."
Q10: "I'll give you $2500 for it"
A10: "or...you can let me &%*$# your wife for a hundred..." (rarely used unless said admirer is clearly being a smart-ass)
What are your favorites.....???????????
