A little automotive humor

A couple days ago, Gabe sent me a picture in honor of a funny story my college buddy George Sormaz told me. Here’s the gist of it:

An auto mechanic takes a call from someone who would like to bring their Pontiac Gool in for service. Confused, the mechanic asks the caller to repeat the model of his car. A Pontiac Gool. The mechanic tells the guy to go ahead and bring the car to the shop. In the meantime, the mechanic asks the other mechanic at the garage if he’s heard of a Pontiac Gool. Of course, he hasn’t. Later that day, the owner of the Gool brings his car in. Both mechanics go out to take a look at the car. When they see the badge on the side of the car, they can barely contain their laughter. Here is what they saw.

George told it better than that, of course. I couldn’t stop laughing. That we thought it was true made it even funnier.

A couple years ago, I was disappointed to find out that it’s actually an urban legend. Oh well. It’s still funny.

And George, if you happen to see this post, leave a comment or e-mail me or something. It’s stupid that we haven’t spoken with each other for this long.
