Because Dinosaur

This unfortunately was in Los Angeles... where I guess Ferraris are about as common as Hondas, so that may explain the confusion.

I dropped mine off to have shipped to Germany and the guy driving the car into the storage area asked which car it was where he could pull it into the storage bay. The guy said the yellow hot rod out there by the way what year delsol is that my brother used to have one. I cannot say I blame the guy considering it was in Texas and if you don't drive a Chevy, ford or dodge it is out of the norm.

Just had a good one.

Went out to my car during a break from work to go do a quick errand.
There was a dad standing on the sidewalk in front of my car with three small kids.
The youngest (little boy) watches as I hit the keyfob and start to get in and yells over to his older sister
"Hey come look at this car! Watch this car!" and proceeds to point and stare the entire time as I start it, back it out and drive off.

From some kid worker at Lowes parking lot last night..

"What is that? A miata?"

Me: no, it's an s2000, Honda..

Then he quickly apologizes.. Haha, that kinda made me laugh. Left me with "sick ride" when I took off.

'Is that a classic?'

My friend was in town for some training and kept calling it a Miata just to be an ass.

My kid called my ABP CR a "Smurfmobile" car. Infact one day I got inside the CR and she had placed a small Smurf figurine next to the shifter. Pretty funny. You had to be there.

bojangles: "it looks like a mercedes"

me: "thanks"

Old lady at the apartment complex I live in. "Oh that's a nice car. It reminds me of my first car. A MG Midget."

Having owned and enjoyed my 79 MG Midget over a decade ago, that is hilarious!
Painted a school teacher's friend house for it ($800), I sold it 3 yrs. later at a Mecum auction at Indy for $1400ish, I think.
It was restored. Man, was it small!
