Yesterday I was picking my kid up from soccer practice, which involves navigating a busy parking lot with lines of traffic and kids and parents walking to and from cars.

As I was waiting to back out of my parking spot, with the reverse alerting dinging, a boy, probably about 10 years old, and his dad walk by my Mach-E. The boy looks at my car and says to his dad, "What!? I didn't know they made a Mustang van!"

This had me laughing all of the way home. Ouch.

I was until recently a Cub Scout leader of 8 to 10 1/2 year olds.

One mum came back in laughing after picking up her child who dragged her across the car park shouting “quick, Mum, there’s a Ferrari in the car park”.

Wrong kind of horse, running not prancing, sonny.

As you can image, I never felt so insulted that anybody would think I would be seen in a Ferrari?

Funny, I came out of a store one day to find an 'older' gentleman bending down and looking very closely at my MME. When I arrived he looked up and said, "Yours?"
"Yessir"
With a puzzled look he replied, "Is this a Ferrari?"

On my drive home all I could figure was that the F on the cap of the Forgiato wheels threw him....now I'm wondering if it was the horse. Haha.

Somebody once asked “is it a Jaguar?”

I asked what kind of an animal a Jaguar was and pointed to the f***ing horse and he slinked away?

And THEN……..somebody actually asked “is it a Tesla?”.

Well, the surgeons tell me he will live when he eventually comes out of intensive care ????

Maybe because it’s red? ?‍♂?

I was at Cars and Coffee recently and overheard two people behind my car, one of them said to the other "look, it's one of the Ford Teslas"

:facepalm:
