Dumb things people say......

another Pet Peeve I have is the amount of money car shows want you to pay to enter and display your car....and all you get is another CRAPPY DASH PLAQUE !!! Aren't we the reason people go to a car show ??
I can go to any cruise night any day of the week FOR FREE ! and see the same cars

its like charging a band to play at a music show !!!!!

I guess its all about the money now and not the cars !

all of the shows I go, the entry fee goes to a local charity so I dont complain about that
 
Tonight. I took the Eureka out for a run and went down to the pier in Cobourg, looking out into Lake Ontario....while I was sitting on the pier beside the water with a coffee in my hand, two women walked by and asked what I was doing there with a "herst" I looked at them and camly said ....waiting for the body to float by !!! they moved on !! lol

then about 10 min later a couple walked by and asked why I wanted a "Herst" and I said because I couldn't afford to buy a Funeral Home!! they too moved on without saying anything more !
 
Q – Are the curtains closed when you carry dead people?


This comment made by Robert reminded me of back in the day when the curtains actually would move in the cars especially combo units if we went to pick up a body we would always close the curtains. Of course the newer cars the curtains are not usable so we finally had to quit doing that.
 
My favorites

Is that a REAL hearse?...No, its a fake..... Is that REALLY a hearse?...No, it just looks like one!.........And it carried dead bodies?.....Isnt that the general purpose of a hearse?
 
This isn't from a car show, but I think you'll enjoy it. A lady called the funeral home

Her: "I saw your hearse at my neighbors house this morning. Did he die?"

Me: "Can you tell me your neighbors name, and where you live, I will check"

Her: "I think it is Bob. He is an old man"

Me: "We are making arrangments for a Bob, who died this morning"

Her: "It must be him then....Do you think he would mind if I read the newspaper on his front steps?"

Me: "I really can't make that decision"

Her: "I am going to just take it then. I didn't like Bob anyway"

Me: "O Kay, have a good day"

Her: "bye"
 
Ive had mostly the same dumb things said to me. But one of the worst was when my flower car was called a stainless steel el camino.:badbad:
 
stupid things people say at car shows

Q= And this get,s asked fairly often. You ever have S#X in the back?

My answer dead or alive ? After that they leave me alone for some reason. :071:
 
I have heard this or something similar. The first car show I went to I heard, "If I had that I would put a 454 in it". My response was, " why would I put a smaller engine?" Just Sunday I had a man ask, "that got a 455 in it?" I said "Why would I have something that small?" Then I open the hood and show them the 472.
 
Just when you thought you heard all the stupid comments, I finally heard a new one when driving my 49 S&S combo yesterday. At a stoplight, a guy that looked to be in his 20s asked me if my car "was an old medical vehicle", I said, "You mean an ambulance? Yes it is". He then replied "I dont know what they are called, but the things with lights that take you to the hospital when injured". I again said "yes, its also a hearse". His response, "whats a hearse?" Im so glad the light turned at that time...There is no hope for the future. I thought every 3 year old knew what an ambulance was!

I get that all the time ...mostly by women !!! mind you ...they are not very pretty women but women all the same ! ( I think) ;);)
 
I was at a car show just yesterday at our annual Owensboro Barbeque Festival car show with a friend of mine that has a Pontiac Trans-Am built as KITT from Knight Rider. Several people came by and looked at it during the day. At the end of the show, around 5 o'clock, two middle aged women came by. One of them said "...and it looks so....real...!!!" Yeah lady; that's because it.... IS real....Geez... Some people....
 
Yesterday morning, I delivered a load up in Framingham, MA. at 0600. I had called Paul Tuesday afternoon to arrange for us to have breakfast after I got unloaded. The place I delivered is usually real good about getting us out of there in under an hour, so we thought breakfast in Strubridge, MA. at about 0800 was the plan. As luck would have it, they didn't get me out of there until after 0900. Called Paul, we agreed to meet at the Pilot Travel Center in Sturbridge and he would show me the '69 M-M.

Got there, parked the truck, Paul had already pulled to the side of the lot out of everybody's way. We're sitting there just having a good visit when a pickup truck pulls up alongside. Guy wearing a black Pilot shirt (management for sure,I think he's the General Manager of the place) gets out and walks over to Paul's side of the car. Here's some of the questions............

You guys broke down? Nope, just visiting.
What is this? Is it real? How new is it? What do you do with it?

The guy was asking questions so fast, Paul couldn't answer him!! Finally told him it's a 2013. Guy said, an old ambulance huh?

I swear, they walk among us, and they vote!!!!
 
Chatham Ont. police stop a man doing 90MPH in a 40MPH zone ,his reason for speeding..............he had just washed his car and wanted to blow dry it. for sure they walk among us..
 
A friend got stopped after a couple mile chase by the State Police. When the officer came up to the window, and asked him why he was speeding away from the trooper, he replied... "My wife ran away with a State Trooper, and I was afraid that you were trying to return her.".... :D
