How did you get it jacked up like that??
« on: June 15, 2011, 08:25:09 AM »
Every second Tuesday of the month, we have our AMCA meeting here in Calgary.  If course I like to bring my eagle to the meetings.

Now at my work, we have a 22 year old girl who works there (at a metal scrap yard).  She saw my car, and said "I saw your car - That is Sick!  How did you get it jacked up like that?"

So I explained that's how the car would have rolled out of the factory like that (but not as beat up... :rotfl:)  She thought that was pretty cool (or sick, whatever...)

Then I'm driving up my road after the meeting, and a young couple was walking on the side see me coming.  They were really young (looked 18-20's) and they were dressed kinda punk.  The young guy was waving, thumbs up (like HEYYY!)   So I waved back and honked the horn.

It's fun getting noticed like that.

I get the lifted comments too, lol, what throws them for a loop is when I tell them it's actually "lowered"  :rotfl:. No I didn't lower it, but the springs do sag a bit after 30 years, hahaha.

Everyone thinks the MoneyPit II is lifted also, and it is amazeing the younger crowd that thinks it's cool, or drool.
