"What kinda car is that?"
« on: October 02, 2003, 11:54:17 AM »
I know Pintos are not that popular with some people, but some things just make you laugh. I was at the Ohio E-check(e stands for evil) emissions test station the other day. These guys were asking me after stairing at the vin # for a long time:"What kinda car is this?"....few minutes later..."Who makes it?"......"Who?"......"what year" You get the picture. All this after I gave them all the info....twice. Not that it made me mad at all, just laugh,...ALOT. Same thing at a popular auto body panel place. "Who makes the Pinto Bean?" me:"You mean Pinto." them:"What? This isn't a joke is it?" me trying not to laugh:"No,...Ford Pinto....body parts."...."Do you stock any?"them:"A Ford what?"me this time not controling my laughter:"BAAAA-HAHA-ha!...sorry never mind."....CLICK. Thats part of the reason I love these cars. ;D
