So just wondering if anybody else runs into this problem. Driving around, having a good ole time. And somebody goes "Hey nice vega! Haven't seen one of them in awhile!" or.. "What year mustang is that?". Worst yet "What's a Maverick?" When I ordered my parking permit for school I had to sign up my cars that I would be driving, and they had a drop down list. With almost every single car you could think of, even a mustang II, but I had to use other for the Maverick... The only source of redemption was when somebody said "Hey I like your Maverick." Today. And it was cause he drove a mustang II... So just wondering how weird it is that we know what a maverick is, or if it's weirder that so many around here don't know what they are.
a maverick is car that was only made for 8 years. also it was considered an economy car so it was never susposed to be a collectable car. normal non car enthusiast people will not rember it or know what it is because it never was famous for anything significant.
So far just in the last month my car was called a chevelle twice in one day, a camaro, a Mustang and ready for this! While getting gas I had someone say " hey is that there one of those el caminos" ! I think its funny. The only emblems on my car that say Maverick is the one on the dash and the grille emblem. Im not sure if I am going to put on all of the N.O.S. emblems I bought, back on the car.
there is a hispanic family that lives in the house behind mine. they have old led sleds and low riders. one of them ask me one day, "is that a chevalier"? he thought it was cross between a cheby and a chrysler
i think its Kool that people dnt know what my car is lol, the old people in town know what it is but people my age(22) and younger have know idea what they are looking at, its known as that misterious black car lol, lately people i dont even know have been asking me about it, i guess they miss it lol
I agree with racer x. I like the fact that some people don't know what a maverick is. Most older guys know what it is but all younger guys have no clue. Most common thing I get is "nice mustang". I remember when I was looking for my first "old car" (my maverick) I had no idea what it was, I just loved the fastback look! I didn't want a regular "coupe" looking car.
Lmao I remember some kid at the gasoline station told me"nice mustang" nd I said its a maverick,then he said he knows its a mustang because he knows mustangs so I responded "and I know my own car and its a maverick.hahahahahaha, it was so funny
Ooh and once I was told nice "MUSCLE" car lol I think mostly everyone here has been told the same lol
i had one guy try to tell me that my car was a chevy so i popped my hood and showed him the "Powered by Ford" that was stamped in my valve cover
i had no idea what a maverick was either when i fist saw one but it called my name and i bought it lol, to me owning a maverick is like being a member of an elite high class club, i scoff at the poor saps that dont know what a Maverick is
Lol it certainly does feel better when all your friends talk about their mustangs nd camaros etc etc and you pop out with "Maverick" everyone just shuts up.lol it funny how these cars we're not even meant for racing but they dust big blocks nd other cars meant for racing,, My neighbors el camino had more break downs than my car had oil changes in one year lol
seems that people around here know about mavericks, i always hear hey thats a great looking maverick............we have a comet
My car has been mistaken for a Comet GT. I don't understand why. It says Maverick in three places and Grabber in three places. I can understand it could be mistaken for a Mustang going 40mph down the road. I stopped at a gas station the other day and a guy from California got out of his car and took pictures of my car. He new it was a Maverick. Made me feel good!
