Minor Confession Thread

I stopped to gas up the Fiat and the kid at the pump next to me asked how I could drive such a gay little car. In my best Charles Nelson Reilly voice I said "Hard and fast, the same way I drive my men." The look of disgust on his face was priceless.

Good job!

I'm impressed. In the year we've owned it this was the first time someone has called it gay unless you count the guy that gave me his number in Key west while I was waiting for my wife to come out of the bathroom.

I have a 500L and NEVER get phone numbers

That's why I went for the 2 door. It's a magnet for elderly woman and effeminate middleaged men.

I confess that I have spent more time talking about cars than working on cars.

I think most of the internet could share that confession.

I ate a whole box of limdor chocolate at 3am. It was delicious.

The wife sent me to Macy's to return a couple turtlenecks she bought online. She did not give me a reason. The line was moving slow as the two cashiers had to cackle with each other and each customer. When it was finally my turn I had to have a reason for the return. These were nice sweaters for 25% of their original price. Who could pass that up? These ladies really wanted a reason.

"My wife has nice, large boobs and it infuriates me that she hides them in turtle necks. Is that a good reason?"

The lady helping me exploded laughing and the other cashier just shook her head.

I secretly enjoy hipster music.

I never really liked Led Zeppelin.

I am right there with ya buddy. Actually I feel Zep contributed heavily to the downfall of rock and roll, but I can take it further.

I HATE the beatles.

I was born in 1962 and I am totally burned out with The Beatles and Zep. Although if I hear "Back in the USSR" song I get pumped.

I went and saw "The Yellow Submarine" movie when I was 6 or 7 years old and didn't "get it".

I also can't understand what the big deal is with The Beatles -- their music wasn't that revolutionary...

I have 3 months until I get out of the Army. I currently work in a very remote office that I rarely have to leave and I only see my bosses once every 3-4 months...I have grown an enormous beard.

Can we add The Grateful Dead to the pile of Groups that suck but are enormously popular. The only time I enjoyed a Dead song was the weekend Jerry Garcia died and I think that had more to do with the company.

Q: what did the Dead-head say when the drugs wore off?

A: This music sucks!

I lived for a week on a jar of peanut butter I found in a car that was going to be scrapped.

Don't care for Led, but they were the first heavy metal band. So they were revolutionary.

I used to like the Beatles when I was about 10 (year 2000); then my little brother played nothing but for 2 years straight. I hated them until I started playing guitar and could appreciate the music. Now I really enjoy them.

Grateful Dead is similar. In terms of musicianship, just phenomenal. I've grown to love the music just to listen to too.

Before the wrecker came to haul off our totaled car, I pulled the $180 battery I put in it this past August out, and replaced it with the smaller unknown age/mileage battery out of the used XJ we bought last June. When I asked the insurance dude if I could keep the new battery, he said, "no it has to have a battery in it." So, it had "a" battery in it when it was hauled off.

In reply to bigdaddylee82:

After my Century (w/ low mileage Coopers) was totaled I put the word out to friends, family, co-workers, even some strangers w/ like vehicles for free, next to new tires... just swap 'em out.

They thought I was berkeleying nuts.

I am driving a white Camry and I love it. I was a but disappointed when I had to get a rental to take to Florida instead of my happy little Fiat, and sadder still when The Wife reported that the kid gave her this instead of the Charger she was hoping for. It managed to carry us and her parents, her wheelchair and two weeks worth of luggage comfortable and I was able to absolutely fly once we cleared the icy north. We managed to knock down 25+mpg while traveling at a rather brisk pace. I wish the rest of my party could be so free of drama.

I had a black Camry rental car for a week. I just returned it this afternoon. I was surprised that it had paddle shifters. I didn't love it, but it was a good car. I like Accords better.

And yesterday, I bought a yo-yo.

In reply to Woody:

Who do you think you are!? The Smothers Brothers???

I hate John Mellencamp.
