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!
