Dude called my HHR a Cruiser
Last night my wife and I were out at the airport watching the planes come and go.
A guy in a Buick Lucerne parks beside us and we start talking. He asks me how I like my cruiser.
First time I didn't correct him on it, said it was OK.
Meanwhile my wife is going bonkers "THIS IS NOT A CRUISER!!!!"
When he said cruiser again, I told him that it was Chevy's version of the cruiser. He apologised profusely, then asked quite a few questions about it.
I thought it was funny, especially my wife's reaction

While at a gathering recently, a guy all decked out in his leather vest with Harley Crest patches on it, boots and motorcycle gear, mentioned to his friend at all the PT Cruisers that were there. I said to him, those are HHR's! It's like me calling your Harley Davidson a Honda. (I have nothing against any type of motorcycle, I just used that to illustrate my point)

You need my wife to tell this story....she does it better than me.
Took the wife to dinner a while back. The restuarant had valet parking. When we were leaving, I gave the "kid" the claim check. He says, "Oh yeah, the PT Cruiser"
and goes running off to get the car. When he brings the car around, I have a 5 dollar bill in my hand and walk him to the front of the car and say, "what kind of car is this?" and point at the bow tie on the grill. he says, " I didn't know Chevy was building the Cruiser NOW"
. I tear the fiver in half and hand him a half and walk him to the rear of the car and point at the other bow tie. His friend and associate comes over and says to him, "Dummy it's an HHR". So I hand HIM the other half and tell them to work it out amoung themselves.
They were both laughing when the wife and I departed. Do you think he will remember an HHR, NOW.
