On the "How Much Does Your Car Cost?" Question
On the "How much does your car cost?" question that we threaded a couple of weeks back, I had my ERA at a car show today and two late-teen girls were looking it over. I patiently explained what it was, how much fun it was to drive, etc. when one of them asked:
"How much did you pay for this?" "Oh, I never tell," I replied. "Really, c'mon tell us." "No, I never tell." "I bet it cost ten thousand dollars." "Yes, you're right," I admitted. "I knew it," she said. Her friend then said to her "I think it might of cost more than that." But she was obviously not sure whether it did or not and the first girl was quite sure the car could be had for ten grand.:D |
They weren't blonde by any chance were they? :LOL:
|
The reason,....how deep are your pockets. :eek:

How can you tell when a blonde secratary has been using your computer?
There's "white-out" on the screen. How can you tell when your partners blonde secratary has been using your computer? There's writing on the white-out. How can you tell when the blonde secratary from down the hall has been using your computer? There's cheese in front of the mouse. |
Blonde asking question: How much did you pay for this
My response: That is an interesting question, why do you ask Anyone who asks usually has an ulterior motive, I prefer to find out what that is before I respond (could be a spy for my wife :D )............ Bill S. |
Bill,
I'll remember this one - I like it.:) |
Bill-
That is pretty good. :LOL: |

What did the blond say upon opening a box of Cheerios?
"....oh wow ...look donut seeds" |
Why don't blondes make "Kool-Aid"?
Because they can't figure out how to fit two quarts of water into the little envelope. Why don't blondes eat pickles? They keep getting their heads stuck in the jar. |
When asked the dreaded question, I usually say,"I really don't,you see,reciepts can and will be used against you in divorce court."
I always shread receipts........I can give an educated guess and probably be within five grand, that's about as close as I can get...... If someone is really interested in a car, I give them a range, but if it's just some idiot prying, I ask them how much did they pay for their house??? or some other possesion, then they usually get the point and leave..........

" I have no idea, it's my moms car"
The older you are, the stranger the look you get back. At 50+ it works well. (It works for the "Is it real" question too) |
I tell them "I don't know. It was a gift from my wife." :)
|
I like the "Mom's car" answer the best...

When asked the "How much does it cost question", I usually reply
"That's between me and my check book". Sometimes, if I have the small ignition key in my hand, I show them the key and say "I traded one BIG check for this small key." |
I usually tell them, "An SPF roller goes for about $35k, and then any amount can be spent on drive train and everything."
But I really like the other more creative answers - "my mom's car!" Gotta luv it! |
Randy,
According to Dennis at Dynamic Auto West SPF rollers are now about $43k. The weak US dollar surely hasn't helped! I'll have to try the " I have no idea, it's my moms car" line in the future.:LOL: |
Greetings!
I get the sense that instead of just enjoying the car, people want to be impressed by how much cash they might be looking at sitting there. Fortunately, there don't seem to be that many of this type. Bryon |
