"Nice Mustang", then wanted to argue about it when I tried to explain it was a Camaro...

Was told my old '65 GMC 4X4 was a nice Ford. I was not nice about the reply because he had a '69 Chev truck and should have known better.

I had a guy ask me how much I had in my Nomad... I said he should take a guess... his guess he said was probably "high" - and that I must have had maybe 10 Grand in it!

My reply was -- that wouldn't cover the shortblock....

LOL

Just today one of the co-directors I sit on a board with says to me:

BM: "So how's your musclecar coming along"
Me: "Yeah really good, should go to paint in July or Aug"
BM: "So how much will you have in it by the time it is done"
Me: "More than I planned and I planned $150K, but I don't have the skill nor time to build it the way I want so it's getting professionally built"

BM: "Wow, so you don't have the time to build it, oh well what a waste of money as you therefore won't have the time to drive it"
