What are some people thinking ....

I know I usually say, "Live ... and let live", but I had to share this with you guys/gals. I saw this at the stealership when I was picking mine up. When I saw it coming down the street, it looked like the hood was orange. Are those supposed to be flames or a aftermath of hitting a giant pterodactyl doo doo? I talked to the guy and he tells me, "That's our thrasher car. It's the one we use when we go on cruises." Must be nice to have money to throw away. I know. I'm leaving.

Are you talking about the owner or the car? I'd spare the car, the paint can be redone ... him on the other hand???? (Get a shovel). I give him some credit ... not a whole lot .... at least he takes care of the engine. In fact, I asked if he had done any mods to the engine? He replied, " We could've naded it for all I know! Ha ha ha!". I said, "Is that where all that damage came from? HA ha ha!". It's funny what you can get away with saying when you laugh at the right moment.

Like I always say, you can't buy good taste. But to each his own. If he likes, oh well, it's his money.

If I knew the owner, I'd cover my face and say "I don't know him"!!! Did someone already say this was ugly???
