My eight-year old managed to get in huge trouble at school today (that's another story) so I had to leave work to pick the little criminal up. Where I work we are surrounded by construction and I was sitting at a stop sign behind another car when one of the locals from the brotherhood (read union construction workers) goes walking by.
So the guy stops, looks for a few seconds, walks back and asks me to roll down the window.
"If you don't mind me askin', how much did this cost 'ya?"
So I told him what I paid straight out. Wow, that's a nice looking rig, then it was does it have a lot of room, what kind of engine. The next thing I know if got the engine shut down right there in the middle of the road, the tailgate open, talking about the midgate.
He seemed depressed about the price but I told him that mine was a loaded out 4X4 and he could get very nice 2-WD models for under $30K if he worked the dealer. The coversation ended when the Ford Explorer that pulled up behind us got tired of waiting (heh heh heh - too bad buddy).
Never have I stopped in the middle of a busy city street to give a demo of my vehicle!
