Good grief, we all stop at them, obviously...
Any good stories out there? :)
I usually stop in a wealthy suburb of Minneapolis, and no one says anything, i.e., they took one look at my rims and wonder what I am selling/packing... :D
In any event, I went to a different spot last night and got a few comments:
1) When I first pulled in, two guys walk up and one guy says "Holy ****, nice looking car, dude."
I says "Thanks, man."
2) A second guy walks up to me and asks "Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you a few questions about your car?"
No problem, I'm washing the windows, getting gas... He asks "Is that the most expensive kind?" Hard to answer, I don't know what he means by 'kind'... I said the Overland is theoretically pricier... But not the same vehicle.
He then asks, "So, I can get one for $30,000?" I says "Erm... No. If you get one stripped, maybe $39k invoice... But if you load it up, which I did, by the time you get through registration and tax, you're probably looking at something closer to $50k..."
Thought it was interesting, as normally people avoid me on my usual stops... :D
