"I had one just like that, except ......"

[herr_oberst]

And thats all that should matter. Except he needs to get rid of that CJ stripe down the side; ugly as sin!

This was before I adopted my “agree with everything they say” strategy.

ROFLMAO! on so many levels.

Is this even a question?

"I also had an air cooled 911 except it was yellow"
is not the same as
"I also had an air cooled 911 except it was a Camry"

How stupid are people?

Remember the wisdom of George Carlin, " Think about how stupid the average person is. Half the people in the world are dumber than that."

After admiring the car and talking for a bit I asked why he put some features normally associated with a Boss 302 on his mach 1.

His answer was great: "Because I like the way it looks."

I had a 69 mustang fastback just like that. It was even red!

Edit. Too bad we didn’t have phones/cameras back then like we do now. I would have a lot of pictures of my cars.

Edit 2: Thank God we didn’t have phones/cameras back then. I would have a lot of pictures of me doing stupid ****.

Edit 3: Is that a 69 or 70? 69‘s had four headlights and 70s had two headlights.

1: I honestly don't remember the number of headlights it had. If it didn't have any headlights or turn signals in the grille I would have remembered because the lack of either of those in the grille is a Boss 302 thing.

2: If you look closely, there appears to be the edge of a round headlight bezel visible at the edge of the grille.

3: I am not at all sure that it still has the original grille.

4: Aren't the rear quarter side scoops a 1 year '69 thing?

[A930Rocket]

I think you are right. It’s been so long, I thought it was more towards the outside near the other headlights.

My 69 had the faux vents in the rear quarters. Fold down rear seats too. Another car I wish I kept.

A guy looked at my truck and actually said, "I had one just like that, only it was a Ford."

[Tervuren]

I had a confusing exchange at a traffic light where the mid 30's redhead next lane over was wanting to know "If it was a turbo".

They only made my Jaguar as NA and Supercharged, no Turbo.
After some confusion turns out they thought my XK was a Supra.

I sometimes comtemplate how much work it would be to make up Toyota and Supra trim for it.
I have wrapped the written badges in a brushed finish that makes the text difficult to spot/read.

If she was hot ( and my wife wasn't with me)

" Why yes.......yes it is!"

[bkreigsr]

....and then...they grab their phone to show you 30-40 pictures of their car that was 'just like yours'.....

I hate to be rude - but c'mon...I've got better things to do...

When I had the 924S, I had several folks peg it as a Mazda RX 7.
No biggie. Except the Porsche actually had leg room.

I had one just like that...and I still have it.

[Jeff Higgins]

Hey, I have a Ducati just like yours, Michael. Except mine's red, white, and green.

[sugarwood]

How stupid does one need to be to not understand a red car is not the same as a blue car?

[Tervuren]

The redhead had a hippster beard and was riding a Harley.

Wow, haven't seen that picture in years. That's when I would actually sport tour with the Paul Smart. I was much more flexible then. Lol. Ironically, I am literally riding thru that same area later today on my GS. I'm on the 2nd day of a 10 day ride.

When you say redhead, you picture this:


This is a ginger.

Boy, tell me about it... I used to circumnavigate Washington on that old Super Sport, even going as far from home as Montana and Nor Cal. Those days are behind me. I just don't fold up as small as I used to, so it has become my "morning constitutional" bike. I'll run a tank through it in the morning before lunch and call it a day.

Fortunately, however I have another bike just like it that I can still ride for days on end. Granted, it's black instead of red, it has a nice tall windshield, floorboards, saddle bags, and a really comfortable seat. Other than that, though, it's just like it.

I've never ridden a motorcycle. That gas tank looks like it could be a huge pain in the gut. I feel like most sport bikes have a smoother curve to them.

So how does that think compare comfort-wise to something like this.
