1) "It's a MODEL T!"

2) "How fast does it go?" (favorite reply- I once had it up to 80 but I was pulling it on a trailer at the time).

Well Skeezixx,
A local Presbyterian Pastor was in the shop and asked for a ride in my Model T.
Sure.
He had a seat and said no seat belts,
nope,
High center of gravity isn't it,
yep
Is it safe?
I asked, you believe in God don't ya..!
I punched it and we were off and running, <grin>

That's a good one!I'll have to remember it.

Another of my pet peeves is:

"How much did you pay for it?"

While I have several creative responses to this question my most inspired reply happened when a friend of mine and I were fueling up his 30 Tudor:

"Well, an elderly lady hired us to clean out her garage and under a pile of boxes and an old mattress we found this. When I asked her about it she said That goes too!"..............................We still charged her $200.

My pet peeve? How about "How much is it worth?" I usually answer "Pal, you don't have enough money."
