Re: Funny things said to you while driving your Packard

This may not be too funny, but it was an interesting encounter, close to road rage. While touring in and around the Detroit area a few years ago in our '52 Mayfair, a fellow pulled up beside us at a traffic light and rolled his window down. My wife did the same expecting to receive a nice "thumbs up" compliment from the fellow as had been our experience from many Detroiters for several days on the tour. Instead, he proceeded to curse and yelled "if the G** D*** old junker can't keep up with the traffic, park it!" Now you have to understand, we were not on the expressways or in caravan, and the surface streets in that area are littered with enormous pot holes to avoid. . . and, he was driving a 90's something Ford compact with too many dents and scrapes to mention! My wife just looked his way and said, "You have a nice day too, sir." He sped off in a cloud of blue smoke!
