Things that make you go 'Hmmm?'

I washed the GT today and took it for a spin. I stopped for gas and a guy approached me. After he realized he was looking at a Comet and not a Maverick, he asked me a question that I couldn't answer.

He had a friend with a red/black car in high school. Was it a 'Maverick Grabber' or a 'Grabber Maverick'?

When I was growing up, they were always referred to in my area as the
latter.

Who knows what is correct?

In Stockbridge, GA, during the '70s, it was Maverick Grabber.

Hey Seth, I think the Grabber is a seller for the Mav as is the GT is for the Comet...Comet GT, Maverick Grabber. Just my nickle, keep the change.

 

To continue with #15, I used to work on braille terminals as part of my job. As soon as I would enter the building, the receptionist, who was blind, would give me a stick on name tag to write my name and place on my shirt. All the people who I dealt with to repair these terminals was blind. I always thought it was an inside joke.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

 

as with #7...why is it when you ...cut a tree down and then cut it up it's not still standing?

Maverick Grabber is correct.

 

See Seth, when you ask a question, you get....well....more questions.

I love this board.

 

Clearly the answer is Maverick Grabber.

A Grabber can't maverick but a Maverick can Grabber
