Last night I was out with my SVO and pulled into the gas station to fill up on petrol and popped the hood to check the oil "have a little issue with valve stem seals" A kid about 17 or so walks up with a couple of his buddy's and tells me how nice my car was, I said thanks and stuff like that, with that he preceded to tell me that he used have a svo but it was green.That perked my interests, I was like freaking cool this kid had a hertz rental svo and I was curious where it was. He talked a pretty good game up until he informed me my engine was in wrong on my car, "as in the motor wasn't sideway's like a front wheel drive" and his turbo was back by the firewalll, so I called him on it and asked him if my motor was in wrong how else would I get my bell housing to hook up to the tranny and driveshaft to put power to the rear wheels as you could probable image he got all bent out of shape cause I embaressed him in front of his friends, he yelled at me and told me all svo's where front wheel drive cars.I preceded to tell him that he was idoit and asked him what he drove,the punk pointed over to a grey primered civic with a 4 foot wing and a fart can, After I saw that it explained it all.
That is a good one. I couldn't honestly tell you why but I hate Honda's more than anything. The only imported cars I would ever even think twice about getting into would be a Toyota Supra or Mazda Rx-7 or RX-8.
Too bad he parted with it, The Ford family probabally have been looking for it since it left the plant.
I used to work with a kid who swore up and down that there was a FWD four cylinder mustang driving around town. He was dead positive he saw it smoking the front wheels. Well finaly one night I saw the EXP he was talking about . Man, I got a good laugh out of that.
I wish stuff like this would happen to me. Did however had a guy ask me if I was a Mustang fan at PetroCan last night and commented how nice mine was.
I had the same thing happen to me... a guy who worked for another rental company at the air port next to me swore up and down he saw a co workers new mustang (03') FW spin out. I got tired of hearing it and ever called Ford up for them so they could hear it from Ford. They didn't even believe him
