I get asked how many squirrels do I have to power it. I refer to it as my high performance machine. LOL Oh and one guy at work told me he had an old 7 hp Briggs & Stratton engine if I needed a new engine for it.

One I heard last year:
"what do you call a Festiva at the top of a hill?"
" A miracle!"
The other day at work we got something wrapped in a giant rubber band. My co-worker held it up in the air and said "look! I took the engine out of Mark's car!"
If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

The guys at work used to comment on me "getting to work and taking my car off".
Another time I was at work and talking about Festivas and two dudes walked up on the conversation. One said to the other, "Pat's always waxing poetic about that danged car." The other one replied, "That car's so small, he has to wax haiku about it!"
I didn't expect to get this good of a response. Some of those were great. Today the 12 year old neighbor girl said "Is that a lawn mower or a motorcycle or what?"
I over heard a couple of old men talking about my car when it was parked in front of a store one day. The first old man said " that's a really small car "... the other old man said
" if that car was any smaller that fellow would be walking. "
