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

FWIW, I'm a South Bay Native (LA area, Gardena born and bred) myself so I know that type of crowd...

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

him--- 2001 mustang.

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?

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.

i remember once i was pulling into a gas station where a guy and his friend are walking by

Guys: hey is that supercharged?
Me: na man its pretty much stock
guy: oh ... (walks away and says to his buddy).. it had SS wheels tho..

as if SS ment supercharged...

[Sayed_000]

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'd

At the gas station I frequently hear. "Does that have a v6?" about my Z28.
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."

That's not so bad, you should have them ask if it's a 2.8L..

My reply: I like the 2.8l v6 but it has'nt been used in an f-body in over 20 years...

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...

Female cop laughs and says nice car.

im guilty of the sebring/camaro.
im almost blind in one eye so looking at things from a distance are sometimes are too tell..the lights are the give away for me

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.

Just gets annoying after a while.
Nothing wrong with the 3800. Good engine, just not what i wanted in a Camaro.
I haven't even seen a 2.8 in years.

< That's my car. I've been asked a bunch of times what color it is, I say "hugger orange", and while they are looking at it they ask what that means!

Tell them it means, "it reaches out and grabs you!"
