I was leaving a job today and stumbled upon a hillside full of old cars and a small garage out at the roadside that looked like a fix it shop with a parking lot so I say "Hell yeah!" and I pull in for a closer look.
I walk up to the garage and see a sign that reads "Open", and another that says "Welcome" so I say to myself "This place looks cool."
I see old chevy's and fords scattered all over the place and I walk in the shop after knocking and the garage is warm with a torpedo heater kicking out some serious BTU's and I call out 'Hello" a couple times and walk into the back of the shop calling "Hello" and I see a 57 Belaire on a lift under construction and a guy comes out a side door wearing some coveralls and a pretty sour look on his face.
I said "Hey, how ya doin?" and he says "What can I do fer ya?"
I said "I saw all the cars out back and pulled in to see if I could possibly walk around the yard as I'm looking for a project car or car parts."
He said really nasty like "Insurance company won't allow that."
Then he asked me "What are ya lookin for anyways?"
I said "car parts or a project car, but I'd like to look around to see if you had anything I may be interested in."
Apparently he was either really paranoid or really selfish because he said "I don't have anything like that back there."
What was that supposed to mean?
I said "Okay" and I walked off, and as I turned around I saw another guy standing in a doorway that must have been listening to the whole conversation and he was looking at the other guy like "What the heck is wrong with you."
So as I passed the second guy I said "Well, I have about $50-k I'm dying to spend on a project car, but I just can't seem to find anything these days" and his eyes got as big as silver dollars and he REALLY started giving the other guy the "WTF" is wrong with you look....LOL.
Course I was fibbing, but I just felt like giving a little back.
Maybe he won't be such a dork to the next guy.
