Funny Story...
Well, I drie down to Beaufort, SC today to meet some other car guys and I get there a little earlier to whipe the car down. Well, I am getting ready to move the car when I notice thie brand new MUSTANG vert (V6). The dad and kids backup and turn towards me and stop next to my car.
"What kind of car is that?" he asks.
"It's a CORVETTE." answering, asking myself, did he really just ask that question.
"You wanna run them?" he replies.
"You don't have enough car for this." I answer and now I am really asking myself if this guy is serious.
Now he is brake standing and revving the car at me. I look at him and laugh.
"Seriously, you would be a waste of gas." I tell him.
Now his kids are laughing at their dad.
He then says, "Look, I am all action and not into talking, do you want to through some (money) down on it? What is that again?"
"Look, it would be both a waste of our time and money. It's a CORVETTE and no, I am not taking your money."
"What does that thing have in it?" he asks.
I smile and turn the key. When they all hear the exhaust and power, the kids yell, "Nevermind mister."
I yell, "It's just a small 350."
The guy smiles, that is to much for me and punches it, squealing the tires for about 10 feet.
I laughed and asked myself, did that just really happen.
Just thought I would share.
