Re: Insulting comments

....a few years ago now, I was pulled into a parking lot...parked in front of a big old Lincoln just as this big burly woman stepped out and says "It must take a real man to drive a yellow car!"...To which I gave her a wave and replied in an effeminate voice "Yes...It certainly does!"....which nonplussed her for a few seconds before she moved on.....

Re: Insulting comments

My wife's boss is always saying that the RetroBird is a "womans car". Implying that it is not a man's car.

My response, (since I don't have to work for him) is that most Honda Accord owners are: (Guess what he drives)
Women or Gay males who haven't come out of the closet....yet! His response is silence!

Of course he ain't seen it since it became a muscle car!

Mines been called thunderchicken every where. Then I turn off the TC, downshift it, and Blow them away. I love the sound of Borla's in the Morning. (well, actually all the time)

Re: Insulting comments

Like all TBird owners we get positive comments almost every time we take the car out. The other day some guy walked up to my wife as she was getting into the car and asked, "How do you like your Ford?". She answered she liked it fine and he said, "You know, I never did like the way they made the trunk slope down in the back". She told him that almost every time we take the car out somebody says something nice about it so since he is in a minority position, "the problem is clearly with you and this is the first time we have run into somebody who is jealous enough to make a nasty comment". He left without saying another word.

That's not a purse. It's a coal sack. Got me a part-time job with the big guy for the holidays. And guess which list you are on?

Re: Insulting comments

I distract people who might have insulting comments with an orange wig. Works very well. They forget about the car and are fixated on the weirdo inside

To the question: They wouldn't dare! Besides, black is the manly color .

Will, a lot of people your age don't even know how long the thunderbird has been around. They grew up seeing rice rockets, bmws, and maybe a few mustangs. Glad you're not like a lot of people your age.

Re: Insulting comments

Everyone drives what they can almost afford. When it comes to toys we drive what we want.

I've never been told I drive a woman's car. Comments have always been positive, however, if it did occur, I think my answer would be as follows. Just let me check, no, didn't think I'd bought a Miata.

Re: Insulting comments

A Miata? Very funny. One of the people who insulted me is my brother, who owns a Miata. Judging by the comments on this thread, I need to man-up and defend my "Gaybird!"

That is funny - the Miata is a car I've always thought of as a "chick car." Regardless, male or female, gay or straight, everyone looks awesome driving a T-Bird!!
