Default What is it with people?

So, I took the Olds out for a Sunday drive up to Point Defiance State Park up the road and on the way back, I stopped for gas.

While I was filling up, these two older Laides come up to the car and start giving it the once over.

The Older of the two comes up to me and says, "You know, this car looks like a big fish".

I smile and say, "how so"?
She comments that there are two big eyes,
(headlights) and a big Oval Mouth.
The other Pipes up and says, "well, I don't like it".

I tell her that it's a good thing she doesn't have to drive it every day.
The other is looking in through the drivers window and says, " That's pretty upolstry. Is it real leather or a cheap imitation"?

Can you believe, I didn't get the least bit nasty?
I say, "What do you think it is"?
She says that it might be leather and I say, "You might be right".

As they go to leave, the younger one says "you should put a nose or something on it".
(I think she meant a hood orniment)

I just thanked them for the constructive
criticizem and departed.

That's the strangest thing I've had happen in a long time.....wazup with some people?

Opinions are like a$$holes... enough said

Oh, and have a nice day "ladies"!


I'm getting the same stuff on my new wheels on the Corvetteforum.


I really like that body style. I actually like it better than the 55-57 chevy's And I appreciate the amount of work you've got in it. My own conversion is tough... but yours is x100!

that's a sweet looking '56!
my mom still owns a 4 door rocket 88 of the same year... it was my dads when he was in college... my grandfather bought it new in 56. it's sitting in a garage in TX right now in need of a resto... one of us will eventually do it.


about thier comments- i really hate old broads that have nothing better to do than complain.

LOL People are great reminds me of the gas station attendent who was ADMINENT that my 70 LT1 (old style) Roadster had a 381 in it. I was like Chevy never made a 381 and even if they did don't you think I'd know what was in my own car? But there was no convinces the smelly toothless crank head!

That is a stunning car BTW
