what is the dumbest question you have been asked

That's it! HE MUST KNOW better than all of us, and BRP! I'm selling mine today before I get killed! :shocked:

Good thing you ran into "such an expert" on 3 wheeled vehicles! Otherwise, I might have hurt myself :yikes:

It's just surprising that with all that "expertise in vehicle safety" he works at a 7/11? Go figure? :dontknow:

I use to think the same way as your last statement regarding 7/11 until something happened last year after purchasing a new car.

I purchased a Caliber srt4, which is a 6 speed. I've driven many standard shifts. The dealer let me take the car to a dr's. appointment. When I came out after my appointment at the VA, I couldn't get the car into reverse. I kept getting closer to the curb in the parking garage and didn't want to damage the ground effects in the front. So, I went over to the guard and asked if he'd get into the car while I pushed it back. He gets in the car and puts it into reverse. From then on I don't assume someone's intelligence based on their job.

Newer cars have a reverse lockout so that you don't accidentally hit reverse. I hadn't had a standard shift in a few years and didn't realize it.

A good comeback would be, "No it has a tailhook like a carrier jet":yes:

Yesterday a guy came up to me and asked about my Spyder. He said he had only seen 2 of them (turns out they were both me), and somehow surmised from that observation that "they aren't very popular around here". What urked me a bit was the attitude he had while he said this. I just passed it off as "another expert opinion" and kept smiling as I changed the subject.

He probably figures the same thing about Victories, Indians, and maybe even BMWs. There is an old saying "We are only as big as our own back yards."
