roman numerals

[dnehthend]

My neighbor once asked why I had so many Mark 5's, yesterday someone called about the 93 Mark 4 I was selling, and earlier today my insurance agent removed a 93 Mark 3 from my policy.

I understand that if you don't use things often you forget them, but come on, at least remember 1-10

At least they knew it was a lincoln. I have people tell me all the time how much they like my thunderbird.

Man, dontcha hate that? Happens to me all the time.

Speaking of Roman numerals, does anyone know why the "4" on most clocks and watches today is "IIII" instead of "IV"? Just curious because it bugs the everlovin' crap outta me.

I guess they are all over educated for their jobs ...

It kind of goes along with the general theme that these cars never got the respect they deserved.

I had the same thing happen a few months back, only it was a Riviera

Well thank god AZ got it right... I went out and looked at my registration and the State put on it MK8 and same with my insurance cards. If it was some dumb a$$ other way it would bug the hell out of me.

Thats too funny... Last Mothers Day I took my mom to breakfast and we saw a Gen 2 in the parking lot and she pointed to it and said... Nice Buick.

I haver 2 things most common artistically balance
The other is it was the name of the king of gods ivpiter
And it would be disrespectful to use the first two letters
Of his name

 

[Sapperfire]

Mine gets called a Buick all the time too...

 

[Lownslowlsc]

i'd rather be called a 2 door aurora then a buick..yuck, esp if they think its a brother to the riviera.

 

[chicken]

[THANATOS]
