Thought of another one.  This last summer I ran into an old high school classmate while driving the T-bird.  He said " dude you are still driving that old thing.  Is that even the same car?!?".  lol...

I had a dumba$$ at work that drives a 05 V6 mustang tell me to give my grandma her car back. When we left work he was in front of me, we both turned on to the interstate and when we merged on to the highway I blew his doors off, he never had a chance.

The best thing said about my (1st) 80 bird. From guy in a late 90's vette at stoplight " nice rust bucket". '428cj powered rust bucket blows vettes doors off, sucks it through carb and spits out exhaust'. Next light he wouldn't even look at me. As for my 2nd bird, the most I got out of it was "hey, nice Monte Carlo".......stupids....

Had a young carhop at the local Sonic one time tell me that her brother had a Firebird just like mine...(this was the white Tbird, the 3.8 that I had before the Sport)..I replied back that "if he had a Firebird, then it wasn't like mine, because this is a Thunderbird"...she just stared at me....and she didn't get a tip, either.

My favorite: "I used to have one just like that!  Really, it was just like it, except...".  The most annoying: "Is that a Turbo Coupe? No? Too bad those were really fast!"

I hear some variation of the two regularly.

Usually I here what is it, or nice car sounds great. Except when I went to the ford dealer to meet my wife to sign papers for her new escape, The sale guys were all over it, saying all kinds of stuff that weren't right about it. Honestly it's not stock. The one fool offered me 5 grand trade in,I said toward what,you have nothing here I would be interested in. They were impressed after leaving with I left them on the ground. I still see some nice ones here totally stock yet to,there getting fewer though.
