Comment I heard form these "kids"

The other day I was towing my car to my parents house. There were these younger teenagers on the sidewalk.

They looked at my car and said, "Look at that thing!"

I just thought that was a really weird response. I mean I understand not everyone gets it, but??? "Thing"?

Ya might of asked them if they wanted to have a look at your car.Ya never know.We have plenty of young guns here who are only interested in classic cars.8)Just my .02.
