Best Comments on Your Ride
She's about 20 and we had met a few times. Took the vette around and the comment was....
Wow! that makes you three times more attractive!
My wife's first comments when I drove the car home (after she said she didn't want to hear anymore about me buying a vette. She never heard another word about it).
"Is it yours?" "Yep" says I. "It's a nice looking car"
Well, a favorite place for classic cars to hang out is a park that is surrounded by water, and alot of us just park our cars and enjoy the view. I pull over, get an ice cream, and guess what? Up pulls this Viper with the two 20 something guys.....as I'm standing at the ice cream window, these guys strike up a conversation with me and I thought, ok, I'll entertain this....
We start talking about our cars, etc...how rare it is that you see a female own such a nice car, yada, yada, yada...in my mind I'm waiting for the inevitable questions (I was in my 20's at one time in my life too!).....the conversation goes like this....
20 something guy: Well, are you married? (I do have my ring on..duh)
Me: Yup, and quite happily, I might add.
20 something guy: Can I ask how old you are? (can you believe this?)
Me: Well, how old are you?
20 something guy: I'm 22
Me: Um, well, I'm old enough to be your mother and I have 2 sons that are about your age.
20 somethign guy: (Immediately, I get the deadpan/deer in the headlights look wash over his face. Holy crap! This woman is old enough to be my MOTHER??????) Turns to his friend immeidately and says, "Well, it was nice meeting you! Have a nice day!"
OMG! I never laughed so hard in all my life!
"Now that's a f*^*ing car! Turn up the music!"
"When did they paint the batmobile white?"
"Beautiful car, don't ever sell it."
"You're too young to drive that car."
"What!?", "Holy s*#&!", etc.
Flirty girl walking by:
"What's up?! Hot car!"
Girlfriend in the passenger seat at the time:
"I don't like her..."
The Best of Corvette for Corvette Enthusiasts
You see, as a black man, I sometimes think my presence threatens people, and this makes them quiet. The more typical response I get is a visual expression that says "How'd he get such a nice car?" The same holds true when I ride my Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. I'm immune to insult so none of this ever bothers me. In fact, it's quite amusing.
There is a guy in our Corvette club who is black and he's got the sweetest C3 that is quite appropriately (not overdone) tricked out in gold and white and it is a gorgeous Vette. I would buy it from him in a heartbeat.
For me, it's not the color of the skin that counts, but the car!
