I too had some of that happen to me, but I thought most of it was too funny!

I was in the parking deck at my hotel and a little girl put her hands over her ears and started running toward her room. I guess the whine of the sc was too much for her.

I had a 4 year old boy ask me if he could borrow my car when he grew up. My GF is still talking about how cute he was.

[awwyea]

Two young boys came up to me while I was getting fuel on the way back from the show Friday and asked if I was part of the "Mustang Gang" ??? I said, "yep, I am". They said..."Cool !!!". Then they asked how much horsepower my car had, and I told him 550 hp at the crank, he ran across the parking lot to his Dad yelling, "Dad, you gotta come see this Mustang !!!!".

[awwyea]

Also on the way to the car show, there was this chick driving a black fox body with SC plates, that I gave a friendly blip of the throttle to say hi to. She got all offended and called me a homo. My daughter asked, "Doesn't she speak Mustang????" "That's how we say hi back home to another Mustang, right Mom?"

Thats priceless.:D

[The Guardian]

lots of thumbs up when we cruised around with 10 or more black stangs together.

It was priceless the looks and hollars we got when we hooked up with the YMR and did a BMC/YMR cruise, black in the left lane, yellows in the right and then a few miles later, switched to black yellow black yellow. It was an awesome sight and the people on Ocean Ave loved it.

[SVT BITTEN]

mine had about 4 pics taken by cell phones while it was on the back of the tow truck loll

Other than that thats all i can remember

[Meangreen1200]

I always get reactions from the young kids, Car is Yellow with the Black stipes. They think it is a transformer. LOL! one thing I was a little upset was all the young guys in the Cobras and 90's vintage cars who were egging it on to race down the street. I't seemed to me it was not the time or the place. Not to say I have never "ran" on the street, but there was way to much traffic and it does not promote a very good image for the event. That said I had a great time and look forward to next year!

[CWD]

This thread already has been worth the posts! I agree with Donna as many experiences outside of the event areas are PRICELESS and a major part of MW! I also had a group ask me to start the car at the Hotel and I did only to see and hear a little girl run to her mom and cry. I felt so bad I went to her desperately looking for candy I had stashed and made a little friend apologizing to her. She was a little doll!

I had a young man at the Christian Worship Center embarassed he was using a cell phone to take pics in front of his friends but he didn't stop! It was unusual to park a Stang at the entrance to a Church!!! Oh well the Pastor asked me to. LOL!

[mfdengineer]

I have on you may enjoy...

I was pulling my car around from the front of the hotel to park and unload our luggage. My wife walked over and found a space on the end, so she stood there till I came around. In the meantime, a black Honda S2000 came around and was going to take my space. The guy in the honda said something to my wife about parking there. She replied, no... this space is saved for a mustang. He got all pissed off and reved his engine. All I could hear was his fart can muffler. I was laughing at him while I was backing into my space. I thought that was priceless....

[UDSIDE]

My exhaust set off the car alarm on a red Camaro Sat. nite @ the Patricia Grand parking deck around 11pm. (Did anyone hear it?) Man was it loud in there. The security man came running.

[BLCKSTNG96]

a friend of mine actaully had a girl with her bf drop her jaw as he drove by,thats priceless haha.i love myrtle beach.

[BLCKSTNG96]

oh yeah and of course the countless rants to rev it up or burn out,by the way racing the engine on the strip will cost you 260 bucks,my brother found out the hard way haha.

[Rev's 5.0]

Hey Charles, don't forget that Pastor Shawn heard you pull in over the Worhsip Band practicing. Had some kids in an f150 want to race. HEHE. hey charles, email me cause I didn't save your email address. Need to see if you can come to MB Retreat on Sept. 15th. Hope some more of you guys can come to. Joel

[svt88]

and a older guy(70ish) givin me the thumbs up and a huge grin on his face when he heard and saw me backing into a parking space at the hotel

[saleengt2001]

my absolute favorite reaction to my car was everyone on the strip jumping when my BOV went off!!! it made me laugh everytime!!

i did get a lot of compliments on my car which made me feel really good b/ci dont think it looks that great.

[bit]

On Sunday I was in the elevator wearing my Mustang Week shirt. A guy points at my shirt and tells his buddy "That is why we saw so many Mustangs". They were setting at a bar on the strip taking a drink every time they saw a Mustang. He said "We got so plastered". I just laughed.

[badass1993]

Sorry I was the dork in the expedition reving against my brakes.....I had to get that huge tralier to move somehow....LOL

[mbpd652]

I love the reactions i get from my car, but the highlight was driving past the Beach Bar on ocean blvd on strip takeover night. I pulled up and some drunk old lady started screaming "I cant hear you"! Had to give her alittle taste of my 80 series flows with Mac H-pipe, i swear the bar got 3 times louder,lol

[1CRZHRS]

My exhaust set off the car alarm on a red Camaro Sat. nite @ the Patricia Grand parking deck around 11pm. (Did anyone hear it?) Man was it loud in there. The security man came running.

we had a few people watching that! the security guard of the year was going nuts that night!:D

[1CRZHRS]

i've never had so many full sized vans throw revs at me before this week.

then we had the kids asking us if the car would spin the tires, so i reved it and they all went nuts. i guess they didn't even need the tires to move! lol

the best was when dark angel started her car on sat for a girl to hear and there was a guy and his girlfriend standing in back of the crowd, the girl asked her boyfriend what is all that noise coming out of her car? he said just look at the sticker on the trailer, these are all some bad muthers rite here!

[03BananaSaleen]

The looks from all the people on Ocean Blvd from North Myrtle to South Myrtle when cruising all yellows together. One after another, people could be heard saying..." 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ,7 , 8, 9 holy cow look at all those yellow mustangs" Only 13 down the blvd this year, but last year when we had 75 or so, everyone just stopped what they were doing and watched. The same reaction when we cruised down with Black Mustang Club which was awesome :D

[lambostang]

I got called a wanna be mustanger.... then the Z28 jumped at me and missed a gear... dont think I didn't throw the flashers on:D

[SM69Mach]

NICE!!!:D

[DARK ANGEL]

After a red or orange turbo was reving at me on the strip, I looked at him and said I do not want to race...I got pulled over. The cop said it was my car making the "swoosh" sound. I tried to explain it was not me. I know my car is loud, but the turbo guys was gasing and reving his car. Anyway after he wrote me the ticket he said, his other cop friend wanted to know what that noise under the hood was from anyway...I was like damn!!!! I said um...a blow off valve? ;)

[awwyea]

Coming back to MB from drag night at Darlington, we were stopped at a light by a Toyota or Nissan dealer on 501 that had just shut off it's lights for the night. When the light changed, I took off, getting on it a bit, and all of a sudden all the lights of the new cars parked facing the road started lighting up and flashing and then we heard the alarms. The lights lit up one by one as we drove by. My daughter asked if we could drive back by the next night and do it again. Makes me love my Mac ProChamber and Borla Stingers all the more !!!

[blue98stang]

Some of these are good... Thanks for sharing...

Mine isn't all that exciting but I laugh everytime I think about it. A couple of MWs ago I was leaving the hotel in my Mustang when a Camaro was coming at me. He stopped and asked me why all the Mustangs were in town.. "Mustang Week." I think he knew he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.. Maybe that is why he was on one of the back streets and not on Ocean Blvd. :)

[blk93]

:) seems like every other vehicle that wasn't a mustang was giving me the revs as if though they wanted to race.

[CWD]

I brought back this old thread mainly for the new to MW group. I think they will get more insight to the MW experience reading some of these posts. There still may be others out there wishing to share their special reactions from the Tourists.:cool:

[lambostang]

*little boy about 6 or 7 came up to my car while I was pumping gas one night. Ask me how I got my doors to do what they did ( note the door was up ). Told him about them and he said "Hold on I have to show my daddy." Boy came back dragging his dad behind him and I meen dragging. "daddy look at this car!!! I want a car like this when I am older!!!!! Then the boy asked if he could sit in it. I said sure go ahead. Boy screamed out.. ""DADDY!!!!! Take a picture I am driving a hot rod!!!" I thinking to myself this is only a V6 but thats damn cute haha.

[Rev's 5.0]

Hey Charles, I'll never forget Pastor Shaun coming out of the Church cause he heard your Cobra over the worship band practicing. That was awesome! Last Friday I dropped my 9 yr old off at school, the kid who opened the door to let her out smiled and yelled to his friend "Ha I got the Mustang!" I reved it up a little pulling off and he was all grins!

[gambit90lx]

he meangreen i get the same thing except mine is way older than yours it s a 90...getting tire of the bumblebee statements...

[Rev's 5.0]

I had been teaching my youngest Daughter Emily who is now 3, when you ask her, "What does a Mustang say?" She says Whoom! Last year Charles was backing out his Cobra from the fish house we went to. Emily was with me behind his car and all the sudden she yells out, "Daddy that's what a Mustang say, it say WHOOM!!!" We all cracked up. Charles you car does sound awesome!

Thanks for bringing this back, i missed it last year. Good stories in here :cool:

[02GT]

Last year me and my girl were in the big crowd on the blvd takeover and passing by the cafe on the strip with all the drunk people was a trip, constant people wanting me to rev haha.

[Rev's 5.0]

I am always amazed by how many people had no idea what was going on. I wished I had a dollar for all the people who said, "So that's why there are so many Mustangs running around!" And that was usually followed by, "I have to remember this for next year!"

[MstangRdr]

Thanks for bringing this up, I'm a newbie this year, so I'll definately be keeping this in mind for anything interesting that might happen. Funny thing is, I live in Myrtle, but something tells me, my day to day driving will change for that week, at least in "civilian" responses. This is going to be wicked!

[luvmy03Mach1]

A little first grader at my school asked me if my Mustang is fast (yes)...then asked me if I ever got pulled by the cops (no)...THEN proceeded to tell me that I should paint flames on the hood of the 'Stang because it would "look real cool and fast!" (never):D He also told me that he was going to be a policeman when he grew up, but that he wouldn't write me any speeding tickets...he would just tell me not to drive so fast...heehee!! :tup:

[Rev's 5.0]

Better keep in touch with that kid! hehe

[RedneckCopLure]

best thing to me is findin out how many cars in the parkin deck have alarms. lol

[Rev's 5.0]

That's always fun!!!

[svt88]

ok not at mw but cute nonetheless, i have to go through the christmas lights in mcadenville every year to get to my house since i live in the middle of them and one time I was going through and I heard these lil girls( maybe between 4-7 yrs old) saying something to there mom. The mom said well tell him to rev it and they dis so of course I happily obliged and they jumped up and down sayin mommy its a race car. Then mom then told me that I had made thier night lol

[Rev's 5.0]

Sounds like Christmas came early! hehe Gotta love being able to make kids smile!

[svt88]

When you ask my 3 year old Daughter, Emily, "What does a Mustang say?" She'll yell whoom! May have posted this already but it's still funny, last year Charles was backing up his Corbra and Emily looks at me and yells, "Daddy thats what a Mustang says, its Whoom!" I think she likes the sound just as much as me!

Some of you may know BonesGT...

My wife came up to Greenville for a long weekend and we decided to take a ride to a small GTG near Ashville. Bones came with us and sat in the front. On the way back we stopped at a light... A new style Bug pulls up with very nice looking young ladys in it. Bones noticed them looking and waived! From then back seat, my wife pops him in the head and says "They aren't looking at you, they are looking a my husbands car and don't be trying to use it to pick up woman!!!" :D

We'll see ya soon Bones!! :p

[CWD]

That is funny!!
