I think it would be interesting if we shared what we heard others saying at Woodward e.g.

"that's weird all these people went out and got the same custom wheels - wierd"
"OOOh I'm scared its a Marauder"
"wow, is that thing a turbo"
"must be a club or something - there sure is a lot of them"
"That engine is huge how many cubic inches 351 or 427"

Son to father as they walked into the Burger King Parking lot:

"Is this a new car dealership??...Why are they all Black??"

The comment I heard more than a few times from the cruisers, as they passed the "end" of our display:

"Look, the whole damn lot is full of them!"

I heard these while making our lap on Woodward.

"Why do they all look the same?"
Someone counting "6..7..8..9..10" and on.

And I heard this in the parking lot along with some of the others already mentioned.

"What is this the Men in Black Club?"

I think it would be interesting if we shared what we heard others saying at Woodward

"It must be some sort of club or organization or something"
"Yeah, that's one of those twin turbo jobs, I think"

and the most heard and most used phrase on Woodward was ......

"Light 'em Up !!!"

Heather and I heard this while cruising...pretty ignorant...but funny as well.

Mother to her three kids...

"Look at all these cars...all their drivers are really fat...thats why they made their parking lot Burger King...so they can all have an unlimited supply"

Hmmm...sometimes jealousy gets the best of us!

She must have come in a dirty minivan with a missing plastic hubcap.

"These look like a bunch of drug runner cars."

:rolleyes: I've actually heard this comment a few times about the marauder at other places as well.

THE SCENARIO:

Mark and I, with 3 other passengers are cruising north on Woodward a few streets north of 8mile road. Traffic is extremely heavy at this end. Bumper to bumper, crawling, all lanes.

I am taking pics out the sunroof, and chatting with other drivers. I need a smoke, so I hop out and walk along side the car and occationally ahead of it...the traffic is moving that slow.

THE OCCURENCE:

I hear a woman from behind us hollar. Thinking she has a question, I walk toward her vehicle.

THE DIALOGUE:

Woman: Hey! Can you guys speed it up?

Me: Uhh...it's bumper to bumper traffic lady...where do want us go?

Woman: Well, you could keep upwith the car in front of you.

(We were leaving the occational gap as we chat with neighboring cars)

Me: Lady! This is Woodward!!!

Woman: No *****!!!

Me: If the traffic is bugging you, what the F are you doing here??? And in a Mini-Van....dayummm.

Woman: What are YOU doing here? That Muh-rae-dar* isn't a classic.
*Classic trailer educated attempt to pronunce a word she's never seen.

Me: No...only one of 11,000 or so...but YOU...you ARE a classic...and you sweetheart will be on the internet tonight!

THE RESULT:

An nice older gentleman was very interested in our cars and was asking me one question after another as I was drying rain drops for the third time. I told him all about the car, roughly how many were in the lot, how many were built, what colors they came in, all the normal stuff we all have to explain. Here's some of the questions: "What is it?" "Is it new?", is this a club? Are you all from Detriot (2 feet from my Maryland tags)?

My favorite question was his last... "Is this just like an Impala?":fishslap:

Overheard during the Thursday night parade lap....

Husband with slightly confused look on his face "Marauders, I thought those didn't sell very well"

Wife getting whiplash from seeing Marauder after Marauder cruise by "Well, somebody bought them, look at 'em all!"

"It must be some sort of club or organization or something"

This is actually (to me) the funniest comment I've seen posted. Makes me wish I'd heard it when it was said, because I'd like to reply:

No! Ya think?

-or-

You mean like a car club? What'll they think of next?!

Or, maybe (in Jed Clampett voice): The dickens, you say!

You were to nice to them. I would've ripped em a new ass, then handed them a box of doughnuts as a congratulatory prize for being so stupid.
