Let me start (all rec'd when I had mine). No joke: 1. Why'd you buy it in such a bright color? 2. Aren't you ashamed to flash your wealth like that? 3. Great mustang - is that the newest model? 4. Think I can take it for a quick spin? (coming from a complete stranger) 5. I'll trade you my Mercedes (E320) and some cash! (said at a traffic light by a complete stranger, as if he expected me to pull over to the side and say "sure, let's do this") 6. You get laid a lot? (again, coming from a complete stranger)
Let me guess a couple of your reponses! 2. Aren't you ashamed to flash your wealth like that? Good point, I will buy a Porsche. 6. You get laid a lot? (again, coming from a complete stranger) Yes, too much...so I will buy a Porsche.
Sam, how did I guess your sense of humor would pervade this thread as well. Can't wait till Ed P. chimes in - Now answer the damn question. You've got a Mondial! (Said in hushed tones).
Yeah I remember when Craig (CTM) got the "new mustang" comment on his 348 during our City Island run. All them little horsey cars look alike ya know. Pchop has a funny pic from that moment.
I can't recall any weird questions, but what IS weird is that while this group knows where a Mondial is in the F car food chain, to most "civilians" it may as well be a 360. The funniest thing was going to a club nite Lupe set up and we all pulled up in our cars. The manager of the place told the valets to get a car out of the way so my Mondial could be up front. The car they moved? A brand new M3.
This is so true... people always think my car is brand new and costs like $250K. They also think it can do 200 mph and quarter mile in 3 seconds.
We better stop taking Vik's posting off topic. Next thing I know I will see a question from him in the moderator's forum: "Can one Moderator ban another?"
Yeah... I had a really good answer to question number 6 above, but I would have definately gotten banned for it...
well I was kinda thinkin that the person that asked you question number 6.... well .... if the question had anything to do with your car or.... nevermind...
Well, I get a few very often in NYC: 1) Want to trade (cars)? I get this ALL THE TIME. 2) How much? I get this almost every time I use my car. 3) Is this the new Mustang? Happened for the nth time just the other day. 4) You must get a lot of women? Funny thing is, I can't get ANY - hahahaha Funny, yes, but the joke is actually on me 5) How much do you make? This q comes up more often than you think. 6) What's his name? Oh, my bad, this just comes up here on Fchat
I've told this one before, but still gets me -- Girl in her mid-20's, blonde, looks at the car and says "What kind of Mustang is this? I've never seen it before." I say it's not, its a Ferrari. She then asks, "Oh, who makes that?" I say, "Ferrari". She says "Oh". Looks at the car for another moment then says, "Well, it's nice, but it's no Mustang."
On the 1989 Mondial t cab: 1) "That car is 16 years old? It looks new!" (my favorite!) 2) (Stranger in Target parking lot watching me put stuff in both front and rear trunks) "Where the hell is the motor?!?" 3) (Anyone on my block) "Would you get your muffler fixed already!" 4) "That's a Ferrari? Never seen one like that!" (usually leads to #1 above) And my favorite: About 6 weeks ago in S. Orange NJ, I'm stopped at a light, top down, with a Mercedes E-class wagon next to me. Mom is driving, ~12 year old son is sitting in the passenger seat. The window rolls down: Mom: "Excuse me! Is that a Ferrari?" Me: "Yes it is!" Mom (to child): "See? I told you." Child: "I _can't_ be Mom! It isn't cool enough! It's a fake."
While sitting in traffic in the GDC spider a guy in the car next to us said: "hey is that the new mustang"
I've had all the usuals, but the best so far is recently from SOHO323 run Best line of the night from one of the tall blonde models her: "What year is your car?" me "1983" her: "Wow, it's older than I am!" (for the record, she was 19)
Sometimes when I see a car speeding, cutting people off, and changing lanes to be the first in line at a traffic light - when the mood strikes I roll down my window and say to the driver... "hey - is that the new Ferrari". This, of course, only works if we are both stopped at the traffic light...
I've only had my car 4 weeks and twice I've been asked "is that the Back to the Future car?" It must be the silver color.
Not at all. Meant to be a ball busting comment which I guess could get me in trouble if directed at the wrong person.... I don't judge people based on the type of car they drive. We've all seen this before - the driver behind the wheel of a beater ( think 1980's 4 door station wagon with fake mag wheels, fake cell phone antenna, blue neon lights, and a fart can muffler/tailpipe) who thinks he's speed racer weaving in and out of traffic just so he (she) can be first in line at a traffic light. Just a bad joke which needs explaining..... Sorry to post .... and interrupt Ghost's thread.
I dont have a Ferrari but I have a BMW most of the time while (my hats is tilted sideways, the musics blasting, and the windows are all down in 40 degree weather) i get stares LOL
