For me, it’s stuff like,
“My Dad had (or “I” own a ) a - insert random car model - just like this with the 498 dual quad quadrajets and a manual 5spd OD transmission. It was that one year only dual over head cam model for that extra 80hp, you know the one right? The electric blue paint and tripe white stripe factory paint job. It’s super rare car (I) Dad ordered back in the day. It only costed $2500 in ‘71. Man that was a pricey car but so worth it as it ran 10.5’s on the street tires. We picked up a full 1/1.5 in the quarter when we put sticks on it! It was amazed that a 15 X 36 could fit in the wheel wells. Boy they were big. That and the trunk that would hold 25 people and two full kegs of beer. We would sneak into the drive in back in the day and party out asses off until they threw us out. Then we would drag race the night away beating everybody!”
Me; What car was this again?
Gas station idiot;”Opel, made by Volks Wagon back in the early 60’s.”
Yea, those guys.
