Got unusual compliment of the Yellow 72 Maverick yesterday

Oulled into the local 7-11 to grab a cup of coffee and right behing me pulled in one of the small 2 seater Mercury Capri convertibles like this witha father and son in it with the top down as I got out of the Maverick they both checked it out and when I came back out the Father was still sitting in the Capri and spoke up and said with a chuckle, "When we pulled in here behind you I told my Son, Wow look at that nice Mach 1 Mustang"

To that I chuckled and said not quite, just a nice little 6 cyl Maverick. He said something to the affect of well it's pretty close to a Mach 1 and just as nice.

Not anything special really just a welcom change from the "pinto, Vega" comments we all normally get...LOL

 

Niiice. Sounds like he's a true believer in need of a Maverick of his own..... (BTW my wife likes convertibles but thinks the Capri looks literally like a toy.)

 

Compliments are always welcome . I woulda complimented his Geo.

 

I did, I said "Isn't that one of those Capris?" when he said yes I said well they are definetly few are far between. You probably see less of them then you do Maverick. hahaha

I then mumbled "for a good reason" under my breathe as I drove away..LOL J/K

 

Honestly, IMO, a pat on the back deserves a pat back, of some sort anyway.
Don't you just enjoy how people you don't even know wave and gauk as they drive by? Some people (usualy guys) act like there your buddie if a crowd forms (3+= crowd).

 

I always get the "Pinto" compliment

 

Maybe if u guys would swap out your tailights you wouldnt get the pinto compliment lol, i wonder if people are gonna think my mav is a bobcat hahaha. come to think of it, i have never seen a bobcat on the street or a car show.

 

My grandfather drove a Bobcat around town and a H-U-G-E yellow Country Squire woody wagon for trips.

 

The Pinto compliment is something I am looking forward to
