Default Great story

I decide to make a late night pit stop at 7eleven for a Gatorade on way home tonite. I pull up in the F and there is a 40 yr old shirtless guy with a skateboard out front of store that looked like the hybrid love child of Kid Rock and Patrick Swayze. He approaches me as I am getting out of my car and I assume it's to ask me for money but much to my shock he proceeds to not only compliment my car, but he starts to spout out all the stats of the F from the horsepower to the 0-60 time and even said how much of a better car it is compared to BMW and Audi. Moral of the story is never underestimate the 40 yr old shirtless guy on a skateboard outside of ur neighborhood 7eleven.

Sounds like a true Petrol Head (Hope that has the same meaning over there)!

Lol that's funny. I had a homeless guy come up to me at the car wash yesterday asking me for money, then he looked at my car and said, "I think uncle owns your car" I said "huh" then he said "my uncle owns a Honda dealership, and BMW, and Acura, and Lexus" I said cool story bro! Then he told me he doesn't live life for the money and he just wanted 30 cents.

I underestimated this guy and it held through ;-)

In the US we use Gear Heads...same difference. Or Motor Head? Eitherway, a true car guy knows what you're talking about

Excellent glad to hear (Had thought about a literal translation but really didn't think Gas Head would be good lol)
