Customer with a Prelude: Do you guys have that little sports car?
Me: You mean the S2000?
Customer: Yeah, the one that came out in 2000, one year after I bought the Prelude. Do you guys still make them?
Me: Yes, they are still in the market.
Customer: How much are they?
Me: 34600, MSRP.
Customer: Do you have any in stock?
Me: We have two more coming in. Sebring Silver and a Silverstone. Those colors OK with you?
Customer: I don't really care for colors. Can I put a deposit down on one?
Me: Sure. Just need a check for $500 or we can put that on your credit card.
Customer: Great! Oh, BTW, does the car come in automatic?
Me: No, 6 MT only.
Customer: Oh, my wife doesn't drive stick. I need to get an AT.
Me: S2000 only comes in MT.
Customer: In that case, I'll look else where. It's a little more then I wanted to pay anyway.
Me: Cool. You should try the Mazda place 5 miles up the road. (Trying hard not to kick the customer in the butt)
not really funny but i was leaving my friend house and this little girl in a suv popped her head out the window raised her hands and said YEAH!!!. i thought it was pretty cool. i smiled and waved

True, but he asked if he could put a deposit down on one before he asked the transmission question. Usually when I car shop I like to have some information on the car before I ask if I can put money down.
I was walking down a street with my girl. When she sees a miata and says "hey look, its your car". I'v educated her since but she'll still say the S looks like the miata to piss me off at times. haha

i hear it all the time from people who dont know anything about cars...i was at a gas station the other day and had to listen to the two guys working talk about how sweet the miata is outside and how much they wanted one...it took me a while to realize they were talkin about my car but when i did i let them know what kind of car it was...

Was driving home the other day (Mon or Tues) after a heavy rain. The roads were very wet and I was not in a good mood (as a result of fighting with the woman in the car with me).
Some fools in a Mustang with annoying exhaust pull up along side and keep revving up and sprinting a few feet ahead before slowing down trying to entice a race. After about 3 times when I don't bite they pull along side and the passenger starts yelling obsenities at me trying to fuel the fire.
I look over at my gf and tell her that I hate stupid people almost as much as I hate solid rear axles...I drift a little to the right, look left, give the bird, and swerve hard left pulling up about 4-6 inches short of his door...
As expected the driver yanks the wheel over and then oversteers 3 times before coming to a rest backwards in the middle of the center turn lane...I have been living off of that moment for the past 3 days. (The gf didnt find it as funny as I did)
