Ahhh, some comments you get from people at gas stations are priceless....

[Blakers01GT]

So I pull into the gas station to fill up and older man walks up and stares at my car for a few seconds, looks at me and says "So, what is faster, these Cobra's or the SKALEEENS?" :shrug: Of course I went through the different types of SALEENS, S351, 281. How they aren't a ford product etc etc, he kind of lost me but never the less, the Skaleen part made my day.

tell me about it. I haven't actually heard someone say skalleen, but i've heard people mispronounce saleen a million times and they think that they're the fastest mustangs around...

 

[TK Doom]

They LOOK fast...and I wouldn't mind having a S351 Vert either...

 

[CANiHaveGasCash]

I love the people who try to tell you its a fake cobra.

 

[MTI LS1]

I have had more people ask me if it is a "real" Cobra than anything else at the gas station.

I have had more people ask me if it is a "real" Cobra than anything else at the gas station.

Had that happen to me the other day.

hehe..I love gas station encounters with the clueless. I have been asked countless times if it has a "5'0h" in it..lol..I usually reply..no it has a 427 in it, then I open the hood and watch the jaws drop when they see the gigantic DOHC heads and blower. I know its kinda of a jerk thing to do, but damn.. I love misleading the boneheads.

I get this all the time also. Itz normally from some kids that think that a Civic with a fart can is fast. Once they hear the blower whine they shut up real quick.

 

[96stanggt]

I get the 5 oh question all the time!!! They haven't put the motor in a mustang in 10 years dammit!!!! The Saleen question I also get probably once a week.....everybody thinks they are the fastest mustangs for some reason???? :shrug:

 

[GA Terminator]

I have had them ask me, "is that a new 2005, and what does the snake mean on the fender?". That sets you up for a "no where" conversation

 

[Stangette03]

I've heard some pretty good ones at gas stations... but the funniest recent one was "hey do you know your front grill is missing?" :rollseyes :lol:

 

[WizardsCobra]

I also had some kid asked me why there where snakes on my Mustang.

 

[baby2000]

I havent had any of these encounters with my Cobra yet. My gen 1 lightning has been a different story. I have people all the time telling me that it is not a real lightning. It kind of pisses my off just because the gen2 came out and now people think that my gen1 is fake.

Some cars are chick magnets - some cars are not!

I have a 68 Torino Fastaback that my wife calls "The old man magnet". Every time we stop for gas we are approached by some elderly gentleman (with the add on sunglasses and a hat) who regails us with how he used to own one of these and how much fun it was. I get a kick out of this as it really seems to make their day. One guy told me how he had bought one "brand new" the year after he retired. That would make him at least 104 years old! He did not look a day over 97 though. If I was "into" old men I would be set for life!

The Cobra just seems to get nods of approval and a few "nice car" comments. One girl from Japan ask if it was a "camerio rod car" I just nodded and complimented her on her huge yellow and green platform sneakers. She had Herman Munster feet big time.

The most recent comments are around gas prices and feeding the damn thing.

[Hye]

the best is when she's in the car screaming telling me that my car sounds like its going to blow up after going almost wot...hahaha...good times indeed.

 

[StngStr]

only conversations I'm hearing at gas stations is about the gas prices.

 

[bnglcat]

My only entertaining comment about the car is that I drive a viper. I never knew I did, but apparently it is a viper. My current boss, and a number of cruise night attendees, have refered to it as a viper. The boss, to this day, still thinks I drive a viper no matter how many times I tell him it is a cobra.

but the funniest recent one was "hey do you know your front grill is missing?" :rollseyes :lol:

I got that one from my uncle the other day!!!!!!! :lol:
