Hahahaha, I forgot a funny story.  The very first time I had my Cuda out by myself I had a man almost jump out of his truck window screaming "Holy Sh*t, a chick in a Mopar...Will you Marry Me?"  It sure was fun to come home and tell Joe about my Marriage proposal!

So thats how you met Joe - Eh.

I remember a few years back when I went to the Drive-Thru at Taco Bell.  My 3 kids were in the back seat, me and my wife up front.  We went for a Saturday evening summer cruise and we stopped at Taco Bell to get something to eat. 

When I placed the order I asked for extra hot sauce.  When I drove around to pay, and get my order, the kid at the window was speechless as he googled over the Cuda.  He handed me a whole case of hot sauce!  There must have been like 60 packets of the stuff.  He kept telling me how cool my car was and thanked me for coming through the drive thru when he was working.

My kids kept asking:  Daddy, why did that man give you all those hot sauces?  Even my wife was shocked.  I told my kids that the "young man" liked the race car we were driving.   :smilielol:

I used to do similar when I worked fast food, simply because I enjoyed seeing a classic car come through.

I recently called a local O'Reilly's Auto Parts location for a price check on rear 10" drums for my R/T SE. After saying they are for a 1970 Challenger i hear excitedly "A 440-6 Pack??!!" No just a 4-bbl, i relplied. I swear the air came back through the phone he sounded so devastated. Heck, i even felt bad...just for a second though :poopoke:  :biggrin: :biggrin:

That's classic!!  I worked in the local Checker Auto Parts store the summer between graduating high school and entering college...I actually remember taking a parts order for another MoPar guy (which was a '73 Roadrunner with a BUILT 500 stroker) and the store manager let me go out for like ten minutes, on the clock, to check it over and talk more about my Chally project.  They always gave me grief for liking MoPars (mostly Chevy guys were there at that time), so it was cool he cut me slack to stick with "my kind." :thumbsup:

My favorite is when they see the bright green car, and make a b-line for it. I get two types, the people who really love the car for what it is, an 800hp fuel injected pro street Hemi Cuda with plates on it, or my favorite, the VIN tag readers.....Yes, you guys know who you are! :dunno:

When the see the 5th digit, "V", they get a kinda pasty sick look to them and ask why the heck I chopped up a six pack car? I usually answer because it wasn't fast enough the way it was :scared:......Then I get the next question of what did I do with all the matching parts?......And that's where I like to have a little fun and explain that I had left the engine and trans out behind the shed under a tarp, and the tarp blew away and after years of sitting, it all turned into a rusted pile of junk, so I rolled it down the hill into the ditch to get it out of my way....

The looks I get after that little tale are just hillarious..... :roflsmiley:  If they ask any other questions, I tell them the truth, and it was already that way when I bought it.

I bought my project Cuda with the hood, right fender, grille, front bumper, bumper brackets, valance, etc off.  Had it backed into a storage unit.  My mom wanted to see what I spent all that money on.  As she stood right in front of the door as it went up she exclaims..."THAT'S A CAR?!"  :grinyes:

Hahaha, no, but when I met him I helped him restore his 70 Cutlass.  Maybe that's why he fell for me, lol!  :working:

The best questions, or actually the reactions I get, are when I'm out somewhere with my Satellite convertible. The car is a base model, 1969 Satellite with a 318, but it has a 1970 GTX nose with the bulge hood, 1973 New Yorker seats, one '69 quarter panel, one '68 quarter panel, a deck lid from a GTX with a Sport Satellite emblem on it, & all done up in primer.

I enjoy watching someone walk around the car with a friend pointing at everything & scratching their heads.  :smilielol:

The question I always seem to get the most is, "When are you going to finish it?"  ???
Newburgh, New York - 12550

  Walking is good for you. It's documented that for every minute you exercise, you add a minute to your life. This enables you to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.

When I've had it out the three times, the Challenger gets, "What is it"  "why doesn't it have a front end"  "wanna sell it for my schwinn bike?"

The Charger on the other hand gets, "Why not paint it orange"  "Is it for sale" "I had one like that, 383 Hemi and all."

I just nod and agree.
