You should go grocery shopping at Costco sometime... I have people come over and take a close look at both the front and back trunks and ask, "where's the engine?" It gets a lot of attention.

That happens to me a lot when both are open loading it up with a couple of weeks worth of groceries. I couldn't tell you the number of times I get the "where's the engine?" question.

I like the looks I get when I walk out of a gas station and put a case of beer under the hood....

my least favorite encounter happened again today - i was getting gas when a guy came up with a spray can trying to tell me how great the cleaning product he was demonstrating is. he bent down to spray my wheel when i told him "NO!"

he was taken aback for a second until i told him i used specific products. he asked what i used. after i told him, he said "but this one can cleans the wheels, body and glass. just spray it on and you're done." i actually had to say "not to be rude, but get that can away from my car." he finally walked away.

it only seems to happen when i'm in texas...

Hehehe... that is funny! Did you pop this hood to find his engine so you can check his engine oil for him as well?

Just last week, I had a guy get out of his car and walk over to look to see for himself how I was putting that many bags of groceries in the front trunk...
