Cool story. Old folks are usually cool and talkative

Got an interesting one today. I was sitting at a stoplight in downtown Seattle when this beat up 4 door integra pulled up next to me. This kid sticks his head out of the back drivers window with a blunt and says, "Yo dog your Honda looks like a bimmer!". I was blown away at how ridiculous that was, and he then proceeded to tell me about his "drop top" mercedes that he says looks like a "bimmer" too. Just completely dumbfounded, I thought I'd share this with the community.

I hate when people call this car cute!
Ask for her number. That's what she wanted.

Another one today, I was at a Ford dealership today with my little bro, getting his girlfriend's car serviced, I park in the customer parking lot, as I'm getting ready to leave for the day, a sales manager eyeballs my car from afar (I'm still walking towards the car) and yells at me as I open the door, "HEY.. you selling that or trading it in??!" And I said "Definitely no.. not here - but thank you."

Drove off with the top down, I could see his employees come outside as I turn around the corner (driving very easily- not aggressively).

Yes, it IS like that.

It has only been shy over a week of me owning this s2k, and it certainly gets a lot of attention. Usually it's more like "Hrm what is that"

I had to drop my Triumph TR8 off in town, [25 kilometers from home], to get the air re gassed. My wife works in town & I pinched her car to get home.

I went to pick her up after work in the S, & parked top down in their car park, just out side the front door, beside a Mitsubishi with the company name on the side.

I was talking to the receptionist when a lady went out to the Mitsubishi, got something out of it, then walked around the S 3 times, studding it closely. The receptionists told me the lady was a big boss from head office.

When she came back in, this boss lady announced to everyone with in hearing, "If any one who works here can afford that, pointing to the S, I'm going to have this office fully audited". I don't know what she thought it was worth, but she was obviously impressed. So many people have never heard of, or seen an S.

The receptionist with a grin, pointed out that it was the handsome, retired gentleman, [me], one of the staffs husband, that owned the car

Boss "is that your red sports car in the car park Philip?"
Me "yes"
Boss "you should finally have a girl friend by the end of the week then."

He was wrong.

He is already right though, your s2k is the kind of girl that won't let you down buddy, and won't argue back. You can ride her anytime, and has gorgeous curves.
