Silver/Black- 00' z28-R.I.P 00' WS6 M6
dumbest question someone's asked you about your car
over on tech this is by far my faviorte thread, makes me angry and want to laugh at the same time, was hoping we could get one going over here.
I'll start with a couple.
First day i got my car my mom comes out to look at it. She looks at it (can hear the insane exhaust) and then asks my dad "what did you say it was honey? A Camry?" Me: "yes mom it's a camry." My brother starts laughing hysterically lol.
At work a couple guys and a chick are chillin in the break room talking about cars as I walk in.
Chick: Yeh I've driven quite a few fast cars for a girl, my dad has a 350z, the one with the big 3.5liter engine, it's realllllly fast.
I walk in
chick: hey, that's your camaro out front isn't it.
Me:yup
guy1: That's a nice Z28 man
guy2: yeh man, I heard you pullin in, that thing puts my v6 stang's exhaust to shame
me: thank you, If yall ever wanna go for a ride or anything I'd be happy to take yall for a spin
guys: sweet, we'll have to take you up on that sometime
Chick: Z28....the 28 stands for the 2.8L engine right?
Me: eh it's a 346 small block
chick: oh so it's got a big 3.4Liter V6, sorta like the one in my dad's 350z
Me: oh sorry I meant 346 as in cubic inches, it's a 5.7liter V8
Chick: *gives me a blank stare with a slack jaw* whaa-t I didn't know they made engines that big, that's gotta be the biggest out there.......right?
Me: well it's called a small block for a reason, my brother has a 6.0liter GTO, and there's much bigger examples out there, 383s, 454s, even 5XXs.
Chick: *Looks at me like I just ripped a hole in the space time continuum, traveled back in time and brought back a T-Rex with me* Ok now I know you're bullshitting me, there's no way anyone in their right mind would make an engine that big.
Me: ummmmm........... I gotta get back to work.
chick: talking to guy1&2: he's lying right, there's no way they make engines that big
guys: *chuckle* *chuckle* yeh they do
chick: then why the hell does my boyfriend talk such big shit about his little 4.6L mustang when there are dinosaur engines out there.
guy1&2 walk out of the room
Me: lololollolol I feel bad, like I just took her virginity or something and she had no idea a penis could be that big.
guy1: lolololol yeh I'm pretty sure you just blew her perception of the car world apart.
guy2: yeh I don't think she's ever going to look at a 350z or mustang the same way again hehe

Phantom Black Metallic- 2004 GTO M6
While dusting off my car at a car show 2 years ago:
Woman taking pics: Excuse me, sir...is that a G6?
Hubby: "No dear" (snatches woman taking pics away in a hurry) "Sorry about my wife, man. She doesn't know much about cars."
My car was running, shaking and she was DIRECTLY behind it where it CLEARLY reads GTO on the driver side trunklid and 5.7 on the passenger side.

Pewter- 2002 Trans Am WS6 M6
One that all of us T/A guys can relate to.
Pontiac car show a couple years ago. Only about 4 people showed up with 4th gen T/As and Firebirds.
Teen "Hey dad why are there Camaros at a Pontaic car show."
Dad "Son I advise you to walk away slowly. Those are Firebirds and the owners look like they want blood."
We all busted out laughing and proceeded to school him on the differences between the Camaro and Firebird.

"Is it fast?"
"Can I drive it?"
My punk ass 20 year old nephew that has at least 3 kids out there: "I have a job now, will you sell it to me? I can afford to make payments to you now."

2000 Trans-Am- 2007 Silverado 2500HD LTZ
I see this one coming from four cars away. My friend and I went to a show at the Elks club. Here comes giant douche with his wicked hot girlfriend, and he's explaining to her all the cars as they're walking down the line (very poorly I might add). They stop in front of me and my buddy to ask:
D-bag: Hey, does this have the corvette motor in it?
Me: Nope, this one still has the LS1 that Pontiac put in it from the factory.

Pewter metallic- 2000 Camaro SS
Not really a dumb question, but the question I get asked the most and it annoys me at this point, "what kind of wheels are those?" followed up by "how much they cost?"

2000 Grand Prix GTP- 2000 Trans Am WS6 M6
Lopping cam and open exhaust and I get the question, "what is wrong with your car?"
"Do you race it?" No, the roll cage and 5-point harnesses are for show.

I had someone chase me down once and roll his window down next to me on the highway...he was in his car with his family. "Hey man, I want to buy your car. I have cash. I'll give you 8K cash". Yeah buddy, I have triple that into it not counting the cost of the car new at 32K+. Let's make a deal...
