My car is a 'Dinosaur' 200

This is a brief story that happened to me a few weeks ago. I found a little humor in it so I thought it would be nice to share. I took a trip to the local car wash to spruce up the ol' brick. Hanging around the washbays were 2 young lads who had obviously just finished washing thier cars (a Mitsubishi Eclipse and a Honda Accord fully equipt with the status quo R.I.C.E. goodies). I drove past them as I parked my 245 in the washbay. As I get out of the car, I hear one guy say to the other "Dude, that car is a dinosaur". I ignored the comment and commenced with the washing process. A few moments go by and one of the guys yells over to me "Hey, did you know that you're driving a dinosaur?". At this point I realize the true depth of the provocation(...which was pretty shallow), but I just paid them a short glance while rolling my eyes and kept up with the washing routine. I finished up and hopped in my brick and started to drive away. As I drove past them, one of them says "See ya'dino-dude". Now I figure a response was warranted, so I rolled down my window and said "Dinosaur, eh? Well, we'll see who becomes exstinct(sp) first." with a friendly grin on my face. Both of them just kind of looked at each other as the true meaning of my words went flying over thier heads. I just rolled the window back up and drove my square "Dinosaur" away.
