Funny story

So I was going to get a sandwich at Jimmy Johns right down the street from me.

I just happened to park next to an Anthracite TL (bone stock). I get my sandwich and walk outside, I hit the button on my remote and really wasnt paying attention.

There was an MDX next to that bone stock TL and there was this guy talking to what I assume was his wife through the driver window.

I look at them and open the driver door and sit down and all of a sudden think WTF??

I hear her say "Honey that guy is getting in your car" I got out and was like "oh my god Im really sorry about that"

They both just laughed and the guy said "no worries man, it wouldnt have taken you long to figure out that wasnt your TL. Nice TL by the way"

I got in my car and laughed for a while about that.


Just wanted to share that with you guys....

LOL Ethan I got a similar one for you.

A couple years ago we went to visit my mother's family in PA. My mother has a gold Jeep Liberty. Well it was during the winter so my brother and I took the Jeep down to the parking lot below where we were staying to do some donuts since we had to wait for my mother to get ready. Anyways, we come back up the hill and we're going slow and we see my mother loading her bags into a tan Chevy Trailblazer. So we just sit there laughing hysterically as my mother is loading her stuff into some dude's SUV and then she starts to get in the SUV. So I had to beep the horn and pull up quick before someone took off with my mother. So you're not alone, although she called us doing donuts in the parking lot "pop-a-wheelies" so that doesn't say too much.

Same thing happened to me before I got my TL, I had a Malibu. One morning I parked next to another one while getting some snacks for the field. The guy that owned the car came out all pissed but I had on my cammies so he piped down pretty quick. Honest mistake I guess or it could have been it was 0430 in the morning.

A few years back, my father and I went to pick up some chicken; he parked emergency, and I walked in. I walk out and saw another white camry, so I opened the door and walked in. The white camry was parked where my father had parked, and this was a busy street, so I guess he moved up. I sit in, put the bag on the ground, and noticed cigarette boxes. I was thinking to myself...mom wouldn't like it if she saw him smoking again...I was in the car maybe 3 minutes. The guy stared at me the whole time. I looked up and said, "Oh sorry, my dad has the same car." I walked away like an idiot and saw my dad at the corner.

These situations are great laughs.

Yep, I thought the same thing, people at least in NYC, first act, then think...

But we all had similar situations... I had plenty of strangers get into my car, mistaking me for someone else... dumbasses.

These stories are funny but awkward

If I owned a Malibu and saw someone getting into it at 4:30 AM, I'd be elated, thinking someone actually wanted to steal it.

LOL... definitely a woman thing when they're completely different vehicles. I watched a woman trying to get into a black Kia Sorrento for about a full minute, after which she finally realized what she was doing and told whoever she was talking to on her cell. She then wandered over to her black Escape in the next row.

great story ethan, sometimes I do this in my driveway with my brothers TL-S, I have a TL both NBP. I usually park at the end but sometimes it gets mixed up and I get confused if I'm tired.

edit: I hope when you spoke with them you plugged Azine.

I had a teacher in college say she got into a Saturn in the faculty lot just like hers. She said she unlocked the door and even started it up before she realized.

At least you didn't tell us about the broken third pedal and the stiff shifter!
