Tolkmod Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Funny story... I work an well-known Orange County Hospital. A few weeks ago I was sitting in my car waiting on some contractors in our doctor's parking lot. Two doctors walked in from what i could only assume was a really long night in the ER, both stopped and pointed at me and my car and yelled "HOLY S**T, A B210!!" the first doc was content to just walk around the ol' girl but the second bout demanded that i let him sit in the driver's seat and start it up. I agreed and let him have a go. After a few minutes he turned it off and got out, a smile as big as mine when i bought it, and then he turned to me; "My Dad took me down to a datsun dealership right before i went off to college in 74', and bought me this exact model. I feel like i just stepped back in time. Thanks for letting me have that moment." He shook my hand and took off home. Now every time i see him walking through the hallways he greets me with a "hey there's the Datsun guy!" and then pounds a rather emphatic fist bump. Was a rather cool experience :) 6 Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 At least your car was called by the right model... I apparently drive a honeybee B210... because it's yellow? Only a handful actually know it's a 510. Then of course the large group that don't even know the name Datsun. "...a h'wha?..." Quote Link to comment
Tolkmod Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 lol most people I meet so far know exactly what it is. They've either owned one themselves or their 'best friend' from school owned one and they road around in it. Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I've decided that if I ever commit any crimes involving a Datsun, it will be in a 610; even at Datsun meets, people think it's a b210. 1 Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 If we're gonna go that far, I'd say 910; HRH even thought his was an 810 :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 His Nissan pickup says Datsun on the trunk, too.. Quote Link to comment
Tolkmod Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yup, understood, was commenting on the logic of the manufacturer doing that. Quote Link to comment
