At a stop light on the way home, there was 4 homeless people standing on the sides waving their "I'm a vet" or whatever cardboard signs. I would feel bad for these people but we have a lot of people who pose as bums to earn some extra cash on the side in my area. Well one guys walks over, and since I had the top down, he yelled at me from the far side of the road. "Nice Lotus!" "Thanks!" "That's a sweet ride.." I would of flipped him a couple bucks but there was a lane of traffic between us and the light just turned green.
I was walking around my work area with my Lotus jacket on, a soldier walks up to me. "Hey do you have that Blue Lotus I've been seeing?" "No I have a silver one." He looked disappointed and sighed, "oh.."
Another day, same jacket, "You own that lotus out there?" "Yep." "Man that's my dream car.. can I check it out sometime" "Sure.." So he catches me later and asks if he can look at it. We go out and look at it. "How does the engine fit under the hood?" "It doesn't, its back there." "Oh snap, what size engine." "1.8L power to weight ratio." "Cool.. can I sit in it." "Sure." So the soldier is sittin in my car pretending he's drivin it.. I had a good laugh. He tells me later he's getting 300k in january and wants to pick one up.. I told him to go get an Exige 240, but he also said he wanted a Lambo eventually, but couldn't he afford a Lambo with that kinda cash??
Was washing my car at my Mother's house, neighbor comes over on his riding lawnmower to check it out. "Can I touch it?" "uh.. sure." His kids came over, his daughter said "Wow, I'd be the Queen of my school if I showed up in that.. well I'm already the queen of my school anyways." She was ether junior high or starting out in high school.
Came out of a briefing and some guys were hanging around my car (as usual) "Damn is that yours?" "Yeah." "How fast is it.. " "Fast enough." "What size engine.. " "1.8L" He shook his head in disgust.
I was at a gas station when this guy pulls up with a familiar looking Porsche boxster. "Nice car, how fast does it go?" "Donno, weather sucks." "Yeah, I was going 90 on the freeway the other day while it was raining and I fish tailed for a while." I looked at his car and it was the pos they were selling at this ricer dealership. This dealership has some nice vehicles but mostly if they buy a car, they will rice it up and sell it. The Porsche was there, I even test drove it for kicks. 98K miles, interior was falling apart, and the automatic top had issues. This dood apparently bought it, cause it was no longer at that dealership, and he told me he just recently bought his. Well the tone of my voice pretty much told him I wanted to be left alone. So he kinda gives me that "I feel like an idiot" look and took off then tried to burn out at the stop sign.
An extremely fat/ugly lady pulled up to me one morning at work in the parking lot in her mini. "Wow I love your car. Where did you get it?" "Park Place. I like your car too.." I lit up a cigorette. "I was actually looking to buy one of those.. they arn't that expensive." I looked at her hard and my smoke almost fell from my lips, I was thinkin.. (You serious? You couldn't fit! Even if you did.. your ugly looks would take away from the car's alure!) then I replied "Its a pain in the butt sometimes, Its hard to get in and out of.. hard bucket seats with hardly no padding.. no power steering.." I don't think she really payed attention, cause at that point I had started walkin away.
At work again, some woman I never met but seen her around comes up to me. "You own that Lotus right?" "Yep.." "Someone just hit it in the parking lot." I was like WTF! Span around and was on my way out the door.. "Wait I was just joking, damn you're serious." They all had a good laugh while I wanted to ring her fat neck.
I've had some positive experiences too but those aren't that intresting.
