Why don't you drive a Mazda?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

I got my oil changed today. Actually, I got my oil change, gas, and a car wash so it was a big automotive day. As usual, its been like 5 months since my last oil change (and only about 1500 miles).

After what seemed like hours of intense labor on my car by a cheerful young man, a surly boomer man, and a reasonably attractive woman (well, reasonable considered she is attired like a grease monkey. I've got no problem with grease monkeys- well lubed is all good by me, however blue overalls and sweat rarely are what I could consider "attractive"), the latter asks me point blank, "Why Don't you drive a Mazda?".

I'm shocked of course. I never thought about it before. I mean, why don't I drive a Mazda? My 1989 blue tempo with 110,403 miles on it is a good car, but why not a MAZDA. Then my brain reactivates itself and asks the woman a question I'm dying to know the answer to:

"Why would I drive a Mazda?"

She thinks I'm being a jerk. She falters for a second before coming back with "Well, thats your name, right?".

I think I'll be sticking with my tempo for awhile.

    I'd say he's testing us to see how many of us just look at what shows up on the front page versus looking at the indexes.

    Weird. This story isn't on the main page, just on the search page. That kinda freaks me out.
