How to P*SS OFF a Magnum owner!

[TechHeavy]

Hi guys! This is hilarious, although I feel kind of bad now.... (the guy was so furious)! LOL! But here's what happened.

I was fueling my GMC Sierra pick-up at the local SpeedWay, (my MM is still in storage to be released very soon!) when a Dodge Magnum pulled up next to me, (opposite side of pump).

The owner was a clean-cut Yuppy type, (mid 30s). It was my first encounter with a Magnum owner and I decided to say what I'd been thinking since I first saw the Magnum commercial.

"Hi!", I said nicely with a little wave. He smiled and waved back. "Nice station wagon" I said respectfully, (and seriously) with a nod of my head.
Man, you should have seen the look on his face! LOL! It went from friendly to disgusted instantly!
"It's not a station wagon!" he grunted.
"It's not?" I asked. "It looks like one."
I didn't think it was possible, but his face was even redder than before.
"I meant that as a compliment," I soothed. "It's very cool."
"Well, it's not," he said. "It's a..." he floundered... "...a UTILITY vehicle! A very FAST one!" he added with a smirk.
"Really?" I asked. "I have something in my garage that can smoke any station wagon."
"It's not a STA... nevermind! What do you have?"
"A Mercury Marauder... a 2003 model... very nice... very fast."
"I read about those! They're not fast!"
"Ok, do you fuel here often?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?!"
"In about 3 weeks I'll be fueling my MM here. I'll be looking for ya." This last was with a huge grin. He didn't reply.
My fuel transaction had been complete for a while, but I couldn't leave till I was done having fun with the guy. At that point I laughed and climbed into my pick-up.... and laughed all the way home!

I guess Magnum owners don't like having their cars called "station wagons"!!

HEE HEE!

ANY STATION WAGON????

My Station Wagon (1966 Chevy II) runs 10.90's @ 124mph with a N/A 355" incher on street tires through the mufflers @ 3,310lbs w/o driver.

Neither one of our Marauders can pull that off, but man I wish they could. The Magnum wagon however, is definately on the MM hit list.

I hope he shows up w/ his wagon...utiliy vehicle...blah blah...we all know what a station wagon is. Too Funny!

[RoyLPita]

[Sactown]

Again, I may be in the minority, but I like the Magnum and think it could serve a good purpose. And if I was an owner I would at least be smart enough to recognize it is a station wagon.

Now, my wife on the other hand hates them and thinks they look like a modern day Hurse (sp?)...

[O's Fan Rich]

That thing got a HEMI?
I'd love to ask them innocently, what does "HEMI" mean?
See if they know.

Yeah, baby, yeah! Nice job.

. . .and I'll have a surfboard, a guitar, an amp, 12 2X4's . . .

Hehehehe. That still cracks me up. Whoever's kid said that to a Magnum owner, raise his allowance

[LordVader]

Way to kick 'em in the nuts! You are right it is "cool", but it's still a station wagon any way you look at it.

[Joe Walsh]

"nice station wagon".... I love it!

I'm suprised that he didn't blurt out..."It's got a HEMI!"

The next time somebody tells me that; "they got a HEMI", I'll tell them to use Preparation 'H'!

[TAF]

The Magnum does kinda resemble the Mike Brady Special...

I believe that was MarauderMark's son that came off with that one...

"Well, it's not," he said. "It's a..." he floundered... "...a UTILITY vehicle! A very FAST one!" he added with a smirk.

I can just picture this guy fumbling around for the right word .....

Ok. That cracked me up. Yep, good job with the pics TAF! No matter how you look at it, shorten the rear hatch, add a Mac, (semi-tractor-trailer grill) to the front, and lower the windows, it's still a Brady "special". LOL!
