I had a guy tell me I had a nice car the other day. But he said it with a lot of anger. He didn't say it in a smart *** way, just with a lot of anger.

It was odd. Part of me wanted to thank him, the other part wanted to apologize for something.

When people that haven't gotten in mine, they usually push the seat foward. I just sorta laugh and say, "you could use the door if you'd like."

I got a "Nice car. What is this... THE NEW ECLIPSE?"

Poor guy. Was a young dude in his 20's working at a Beer Distributer, too. The worst part was probably that he already put a case of beer in my trunk and had ample time to discern that it was neither an eclipse or a Mitsubishi of any kind

When I first test drove the 8 years ago, the salesman pushed the passenger seat forward so that he could get in the back. I had to tell him the back door opened. Pathetic!

"What does that thing have? A 6-cylinder?"

"No, I don't even have cylinders..."

"haha, good one dude, must be just a little four-banger and you are embarrased"

I thought that was kinda funny lol

When I take it to get it wash, they reach back to vacumn the back seat, so I have to let them know that the back door opens. I'll tell them it's easier that way.

Plenty of times where people also move the front seat forward to try to get in the back.

People are like amazed that our back doors open. Like wow i didnt know it opened like that, or wow that makes getting in easier haha.

It sort of feels cool and good to know that we have unique cars.

this happens to me about 60% of the time whenever i fill up. and thats alot of times haha.

i get a few questions as to if the back doors open up. most of them are stupid questions like is that a v6? or how much u pay for those dubs? does the tv come with the car? lol

i get alot of comments like nice color, sexy car, and daaaamn.

lol these girls did ask me if the back doors opened up too.. i wish i was witty enough to let them sit in the back. haha

Its funny how many people are "wow" by the back doors.
Its like the back doors have mystical powers or something to make people smile, laugh, even jump up and down like the large breasted woman did for me.


OH THANK YOU MIGHTY BACK DOORS, THAT WAS A BLESSED DAY!

my county clerk put it was a 4cylinder on the registration. This was after me telling her it had no cylinders and her lo0king up rotary in her dictionary and calling someone to verify it.

i get lots of people asking dumb questions, and yes, they all freak out when the back do0rs open, its like shaking your keys in front of a small child.

lol! reading these events are really quite funny. Doesn't it make you feel special though? When people ask you "how many cylinders does your car have?" and you simply reply, "none" and look a little confused, lol.

My insurance company charges me 65 dollars per month because she put 4 cylinder 4 door on the application. Btw I'm 23 years old and I drive in Houston which has the most expensive insurance in all of Texas. I love this car!
