What is it? How do you like it?

It is a chrysler? Oh... with a disapointment.. heard in their voice

Cute/Sexy from the ladies...

How fast? How much horsepower?

 

I always hear " What is that thing" What car is that???? Who makes it??? How did you afford that car??? lol!!!

 

I always hear: License and registration please, Do you know how fast you were going?

 

I was washing mine the other day and a kid (about 13 or 14 years old) comes walking through the car wash - the school is just down the street. He looks into my bay of the car wash and says:

"Hey mister, that's a nice car!" and starts walking closer.

I say thanks as I'm chamy-ing the rear end.

"It looks pretty fast."

Then he gets this sly look on his face and asks "Will it do 200?"

I laughed and said "Yes, it will, but I haven't tested that out yet."

He looks surprised and says "No way!"

I couldn't resist and said "Yes, way!"

"Does it have a V8?"

"Nope. V6."

"It can't do 200 then."

"Sure it can. Supercharged V6, 350 hp, 330 fp of torque."

"350 hp?!?"

"Yeah. It's a Mercedes."

"Oh!" he says as if now he understands.

LOL!

 

200 kmh is no problem at all!

 

I heard this twice in the past two weeks: "Is there a hemi in there?" ?????????

 

i get the "that thing got a Hemi?" too.

if i drive it to work it's "we're paying you too much."

 

first thing my brother said: Dude, you must have a really small pe**s!

 

I get a lot of these... "That's the nicest looking one of those I've seen.... Who makes it?" Of course I reply "Wilhelm Karmann" and they shake their head (like they know) and say "He makes a beautiful automobile"....

And "I bet that's FAST"...."What size tires are those?"...."I could shave in those wheels"... "Nice ride". "What kind of wax do you use?"

The dumbest question was... "Do you like your Crossfire?"

The best comment was... A woman passenger in a Cadillac Escalade ESV hanging out the window, pointing and yelling "I LOVE THAT CAR" while going ~70 MPH (next to me) down the highway.
I guess she just wanted me to know....

This is just too much fun!

 

Funny story: I was driving in traffic about 20 to 30 mph and i was in my friends car (not a Crossfire) and I saw a crossfire pull up next to us, i pointed it out to my friend and the guy driving in the crossfire noticed us looking and he actually manually put up his rear spoiler, i guess he thought It was cool....? actually you know what it is cool!!!!

 

Lot's of the aready mentioned..but the one I love most was said by my son as I drove the crossfire home and parked for the first time on the drive.." Hi Dad, that's a fantastic looking car, a real bird puller! BUT not with you driving it!! "

you know its built by mercedes right ? (my old bosses boss ... did not know he was a car nut)
he drives a ... decent car. (someone at new job)
nice car ! (kids around the neighborhood ... i convinced one i'd sell him it for $20 ... he proceeded to go try and get $20)

there is nothing really common i get from people other than kids ... most look at me with a look of "why are you driving that" kind of glare and tend to say little or nothing at all ... maybe they think its bought by my iheritance (there is none) or they are angry their money went to beer.

 

1) Nice Car
2) I thought you worked with wakeboards, how can you afford that?
3) (my favorite) Is that a Bond car?

 

"Wow, that must be a lot of fun!"
"Is that a Race Car?"
"That thing is a Gorgeous Beast!"

One geezer the other day said:

"What use is it if it can't carry two sets of golf clubs?"

 

I've only been alone in ours once, and that was to take it to get it inspected. The only thing I heard there was "What is that - It's cool? You bought that for your wife didn't you?" In all fairness, I'm not saying it's a chick car, but the guys where I get my inspections know me for Vettes, Vipers, GTOs, IROCs, Harleys, etc. So it goes with the territory.

All of the above and:

"Is that an ought-ought agent car?"

Yes, Jethro and all his cousins are alive and well in East F***ing Alabama!

 

Strange you should mention that....it seems that the majority of people
that are interested in my car are middle-aged well-dressed men.

The best statement someone made regarding the car (and yes, it was a
well-dressed older man) was, "There are classic cars, and cars that are classics. The Crossfire is a classic".

 

Funny you say that because a guy I work with refers to it as a 007 car

 

Well since I am in the military & all, I get a different approach to the questions. So here are mine:

1. "Your a PRIVATE and you drive that???" and sometimes that is followed by: "so..... are the Russians paying you??"

2. Occasionally as I get out of my car and someone is walking by they say "ohh I was getting ready to salute you."

3. "WTF is wrong with your headlights??" LOL!! Whoever designed this plastic needs to be shot in the face!!

4. Last but not least "What is that?"
