Best Red Light Questions

/Angelo350Z/ · 07-31-2014, 10:55 PM

Back in '04 after purchasing my first Z, some old man asked me what kind of Chevy 350 I was driving. I just told him what it was and he looked confused.

Pulled up to a red light with my windows down, 2 girls pull next to me. One girl says, "are you married?, cause you look good in that car!!!!"

Not at a red light, but in a Rally's drive-through. Two eleven or twelve year-old kids, "Your car's cool" which I love because I remember how much I loved cars at that age.
Then their mother (working the window) says, "They tell me your car is cool."
Grrrr. Gimme my ma damn fries wench.

At the red light, a guy and his gf pulled up in a modded honda prelude, stereo blasting.

Honda: nice Z man.
Me: thanks, it's my baby.
Honda: it's gotta be stick shift.
Me: nah, its auto.
Honda: oh man, that sucks!!
Me: its not bad.
While its about to change to green, he starts reving his engine and girlfriend starts laughing. ..im guessing exhaust n other stuff on him . Light turns green....he goes, but Z is too much for him. Gets behind me and turns on side street.

Quiet often I get these two

1. Thats only a v4 right?! (at a gas station as I'm pumping 93 octane)

2. How fast have you gotten in it?!

And occasionally the good head nod and thumbs up

assuming your location is a zip code you wouldn't happen to be in the Aurora/Naperville area of illinois would you?

at a red light once had a newer toyota camry pull up next to me with 2 kids in the back...

Kid: how many seats does that car have?
Me: it's a 2 seater
Kid: (in snooty voice) well our car has 5 seats
Me: that's ok, having 2 seats just gives me more room to store dead hookers in the back
Kid: (looks on in terror and disbelief as i roll away)

your response should have been....

"no. are you married? because i would look good inside of you."

MadMan · 08-01-2014, 10:44 AM

I don't know how y"all are getting that many dead hookers in the back.
After three, I can't get the hatched closed no matter what I try.
Tell me you're not putting them up front with you.
Cause ain't no dead hooker riding shot-gun in the MadMan's ride.
Unless of course, I just really, really need to use the HOV lane.

I live in Vegas where everyone is either drunk, an a$$hole or some combination of the two so I generally just keep my blacked out windows UP.

I did forget about this rule one evening a few weeks back... As I'm sitting at a light with my window halfway down this old (kind of redneck-y) guy pulls up in a mid-90s Accord done to the nines in Fast and Furious part 1 style (Crazy Wings West body kit, shaved everything, janky fender flares, weird graphics, chrome wheels with tiiiiiiiiiny little sidewalls making for wheels that look way too small). He looked so out of place in it that my first thought was that he was driving his kid's car around or something. His question? "How much horsepower do you think that exhaust added to your car? 50-60? I'll bet that thing has about 500 horses under the hood eh?" Mind you- bone stock car, stock exhaust.

I said, "Nope, it came with 500 from the factory. Now with the exhaust I'm pushing more like 750....... To the wheels."

The look on his face was like

And I was like
