I was working and this guy came in and asked who owned the black merc parked out front. My boss told him it was mine. He asked me if i ever thought about selling it. I told him no, but for the right amount I would. He said, I'll buy it right now for $2,550. I kinda laughed thinking he was kidding. He told me where he worked if I changed my mind his offer stands. I went outside for a quick break and he was outside looking at it, he walked up to me and told me I should bring it down to his shop to get my exhaust looked at, he said "I'll do the exhaust work myself and make it sound like its got a v8 under the hood." I laughed and asked him if he'd ever heard it. He said no, and started insulting the car calling it a ford, Found On Road Dead. I started it up to shut him up and maybe he'd eat his words. As you all probably know, cold idle with aeros sounds pretty wicked. He continued to tell me that with that much backpressure I'm going to blow a head gasket. I told him well if that ever happens I'm never bringing it to your shop to get it worked on. He went on his merry way. Sheeesh, some people

Constantly correcting people who think the MM has a police interceptor engine.

All the time, but this was a whole new level. Giving me an insulting offer on a pretty clean 03

I've only had one guy ask if we would sell the MM and I politely said perhaps after we're dead:)

I get " What is a Marauder? I don't say anything, I just lift the hood and stand back. The next sound I hear is "Holly S___!"
Then I say... That's a Marauder!

Was this guy like 16? Cause this is the kind of stuff I remember my "car guy" friends saying back in high school when we all thought we knew things...

He may have been in his 20's, but his brain was pre-teen. As for other body parts... wishful thinking on his part.

There is an old saying " It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speek up and remove ALL doubt". In this case the individual should have remained silent.
