You're in the SF Bay area. I expect answers like that from that crowd.Quote:

I remember in high school I had a 1996 Mustang GT with 18" bullitt wheels and another kid there had a 1995 5.0 and after I got my wheels put on my car he says (no joke) "Your car should be able to hang with mine now that you got those wheels on it."
Wheels = HP?
lolwut
i've had a couple funny ones
the only one i remember was i drove up to my gf's house, and this grey eclipse was following me for a couple miles and then pulled up next to me and asked
hey you wanna race for pinks?
i laughed and said "haha sorry, not worth it."
he legitimately thought he would win... it wasnt even turbo. the kid was 16
i saw him at a local car show and asked him to pop his hood and he laughed and said "i dont pop my hood..."
what a joke:thinkin:
my sisters boyfriend while looking at my t\a---- nice car. i used to have a sports car too.
me--- oh? what kind did you have?
him--- 2001 mustang.
me--- cool. GT?
him--- no. v6.
me--- you never owned a sports car.
Me at O'Reilly's: I need 2, replacement window motors.
Clerk: For what?
Me: That (pointing to my '02 SS in the parking lot)
Clerk: What years is your Camry?
After a weekend of detailing my car and 5 coats of Zaino polish, my dad asks me, "Did you wash your car?"
Me: Oh no, that filthy thing?
^ why wouldnt you just say 2002 camaro ..instead of pointing to it ?
I tend to agree with this. I know I pick at part's store counter types for their ignorance too but not everyone's into the same things. I had no clue how to tell the difference between a type r integra and a base one that someone had cloned until a buddy of mine cloned one and got called out on it. Not everyone can look at a car and tell you what it is.Quote:

as if SS ment supercharged...
one funny thing happened to me !!
ones my friend asked me if he can ride my car to his Gf house ..
i said OK you can have it .. after a while of taking it he called ... man is the reverse gear down or up ? hahaha
it is funny tho how many SSs in other platforms are S/c'd ..the old monte carlos, the colbalts and such. his mind will be blown when the new z/28s are S/C'd ..he might then think all SS and Z/28s are s/c'dQuote:

My usual response is "Of course not, I love the environment so much its a V8!"
Usually leaves them with a dumbfounded look.
At oreillys the usual questions about year, make, model. Then its always "is that the 350?"
I love the response to "no its a 346."
:lmao: That's not so bad, you should have them ask if it's a 2.8L..:suicide:Quote:

Them: well what motor doe's it got?
Me: 3800-II
them: v8??
me: could have been, some specs from the early Buick v8 and v6's match the 3800 and the 3.8...
them: :nilly:
me: :naughtywa
Pulled into wawa.
Turn off car.
Female cop asked if it came that way from the factory. (exhaust is loud)
I said WHY YES IT DID. Didn't you know its Government motors now!
Female cop laughs and says nice car.
Damn Sebrings. I've been to auto salvage yards a couple of times to replace some broken interior plastic parts. There must be 9 Sebring for every Camaro in the yard and when they're all tore up you can't tell the difference until you're right on top of them. Wasted a lot of time walking up to and than away from many a busted Sebring.Quote:

Tell them it means, "it reaches out and grabs you!" :lol::yup:Quote:
