Or the chevy guy that walks and asks what color is that, puke green and
then walks away. At least he can't see my finger.:finga:
I finally quit correcting people when they call mine a Swinger.I love it when I hear someone say "Nice car!!!", but they ask you what it is, and you tell them it's a Scamp, they give you this puzzled look on their face...... :roll:
I like getting the "nice car" compliment, get a lot of them but then they hit me with the "It's a Charger, right?" or "Is it a Charger". I know why, the first thing people think when they see the orange is "Dukes of Hazzard". One guy told me I'm missing the Bee in the back stripe.
that's another funny thing about my cars- no one will pull up beside my Scamp at a red light, but everyone has to try my Stealth.I also find I get alot more respect on the road, everyone keeps their distance and no one tailgates me.
My cousin has a 72 Duster painted in Hemi Orange with a black hood, and people always comment on that 'sweet orange Charger' my cousin has.
It's a bit of an oddball car, as it has the 70/71 tail lights, but everything else is 72, including the marker lights, and title. It was originally a Gold Duster with snakeskin roof, on the front half of the roof, and A pillar. He bought it from the original owner. When he had it painted orange, it was stripped down, and no signs of changing the tail panel over were visible.
Bill has himself a helluva car that's for sure. - haven't looked at since you did all that work. Rob. I will have to stop by and tell him " nice car" .Well I sure got a lot of Nice Car when I took Bill's Swinger to the gas station to put some gas in.
Guys were driving in off the street to take a look and ask questions.I must of talked for 45 min to the 7 guys who stooped to take a look.
Then I popped into the industrial area to snap a couple of pictures and the same thing.
No young guys just a bunch of old gristle heads like myself talking about how there was one of these old Darts on every street you went down back when we were kids.
The one thing that everyone said was that this was the nicest and cleanest Dart any of them ever remember seeing...
The only thing wrong with talking about Bill's Swinger and listening to all it's accolades was that the Dart wasn't mine...grrrrrrrrr
