I've heard
"I like your car, what's it book at?"
Her ride was a whooped Subaru Outback Wagon with a serious vacuum leak. Every time she revved her engine, it sounded like the blow off valve was on it's last leg.
Confused, I thought this trashy girl was asking me how much it cost.... I hesitated.....she said, "what's the dash say the car will do?"
When I told her the speedometer read up to 175mph, she looked down and said "you'd beat me".
She asked "you want to race?"
I turned this d!psh!it down because it was a sketchy part of road where cops do actually monitor. I told her, some other day.

first time hearing "what's it book at?" wtf

Lot's of funny acronyms but I notice there's still a lot of guys around here drooling on Ferrari cars who just happened to be owned by Fiat Roosevelt Motors

I worked for a Fiat garage in the 80s and have owned/autocrossed a lot of 128s and X 1/9s.

BTW Fiat also owns Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep. Fiat Viper anyone?
