Q:

Is there Spanish verb equivalent of the phrase "was like" in place of "said"?

In colloquial English, the verb "like" is often paired with the past forms of be, "was" or "were", to describe mainly words said or actions done in the past.
Examples:

When we drove past, she was like, "Did you guys see that?"
They were like, "No, what was it?"

Instead of:

When we drove past, she said/asked, "Did you guys see that?"
They said/replied, "No, what was it?"

Is there any colloquial equivalent in Spanish (other than conjugations of decir, pedir, preguntar, responder, etc.)? I understand that preterite forms of hacer could simply describe actions in the past, though.

A:

In peninsular it's not uncommon to hear «en plan», but it's very informal (even slang-ish) and regarded as a lack of vocabulary.

Pasábamos con el coche y ella en plan «¿Habéis visto eso?». Y ellos en
  plan «No, ¿qué era?».

A:

In colloquial Puerto Rican Spanish, there are some forms that seem to adhere very closely to the above-mentioned model: 
“She was like, ‘Who the heck are you?’”
Ella se puso con “¿Quién carajo eres tú?”
“Suddenly, he is like, ‘Leave me alone!!’”
De repente, él sale con “¡¡Déjame quieto!!”
