Does this still happen to everyone???

In the past few months, only one guy yelled from next to me at a stop light "I like that thing man, WTH is it?!"
Other than that it's been ASSumed twice or thrice that's it's a Toyota or Hyundai.

I think, ironically, I had more people ask about it when it still said 'vehicross' on it, before I debadged.
Now, they probably don't want to act intrigued...kinda like they're too cool to tell you you have a cool car...but they still look. I think people think it's a Hyundai or something and that that's why I debadged it...because I was ''embarrassed'' or something.
If they only knew.
(hence my signature)

Had a funny one yesterday.

Got off the highway in my WRX and came to the first light on my way for my evening Starbucks coffee. Sitting at the light, I dropped my window and lit up a smoke. Exiting the highway, there was a cop that had been behind me for a few miles, and he stopped in the lane right next to me. His passenger side window comes down and an older gentleman, whom I didnt recognize, says "Hey, don't you ever drive that ISUZU to work anymore? Man, I miss seeing that thing. It's VERY cool!"

I had to stop and think for a minute cause I was like "Who IS this guy? Do I know him?"

I responded "You mean the black VehiCROSS?"

He says, "Ya, I used to see you nearly everyday in it. Now I just see you driving that (nods his head to my car).

Still not really knowing who he was or how he knew who I even was, I just said "Well, I'll bring it out more often on weekdays just for you then."

He winked and gave me a thumbs up.

Later on last night, it dawned on me that he was the cop that used to live in the condo complex I moved from a couple years ago and used to wave to when I saw him leaving the lot in the mornings, heh.

Small world.

Cruisin to Philly in the Proton this weekend. Prolly turn a few heads there. Have to wait & see.

Last week a dude at a red light asked me what it was and where can he get one. He thought it was an '08! I told him it was an '01 and long since been out of production. I saw his wife in the passenger seat grab a pen out of the glovebox of his honda accord and start writing.

last month I was at a paint shop with a friend ..and the owner was out looking at my VX ..he can in and said "Whos new Saturn:eek: was that in the parking lot".....LOL:smilewink

"ill be around! give me a call if u get some free time, we could get a mini meet together"

Eric,

Unfortunately goin up to check on BIL who just got out of the hospital. Not anticipating any oportunity this trip. We'll try to carve out some time on the next trip (prolly late Spring/early Summer). Been talking to Wifey about checking out that haunted Fort up there (name escapes me at the moment but recently investigated by TAPS).

Tom

Friday afternoon as I was gassing up for the trip, a guy walked up & asked if my Proton was a pimped out Amigo. I almost decked him:)

While in Essington PA, gassing up again (Yup - gas mileage that bad) a guy pulled up to the pump next to me & said that he was glad I had stopped. His son (10 or 11 years old) was yelling at him to chase me down to find out what it was.

Other than that it was just a matter of seeing people walking around it and checking it out each time I parked & walked away.

Sorry we couldn't meet up this trip Eric. See you at Luray in a few weeks tho. Wifey is interested in visiting Fort Mifflin (SP?) this summer as well.

Unless you've an interest in walking around an old fort, don't expect much...your basic "ghost walk" I took the kids there a couple of times when they were young. The Mutter museum (don't know where the umlaut is) of medical anomalies, is real entertainment....no imagination needed! Extraordinary collection of "pickled punks" (fetus in alcohol) Cyclops baby, Two headed baby, abnormal skeletons, tumors, lesions, and my personal favorite, an 18in. skeleton...one head, two bodies... amazing stuff

yea the mutter museum is pretty awesome, i havent been there in like 4 years.. fort mifflin.. i think thats right near the airport right? i got shooed away from a fort right near the airport last year.. they didnt appreciate me doing donuts in the big mud puddle in front of their fence:)

"Unless you've an interest in walking around an old fort, don't expect much"

Thanks Chopper - we'll keep that in mind but prolly go anyway. Between the ghostie thing & the history thing ... we'll give it a shot. I think they've been doing a slow but steady renovation for the past few years. Already done the Mutter Museum a couple of times - always entertaining knowing how close I came to looking like a fish.

Eric - Yup, over by the airport (I think). You shoulda told them you were digging them a new mote.
