Dumbest thing anyone has ever said to you about your car?

[Fluid Power]

I love cars, I love people willing to talk about cars, I love the fact that I can drive something that effects someone enough to approach a complete stranger and ask questions. All that being said, you do have a few people who are unbelievably bold and ignorant. So, what is the dumbest thing anyone has said to you about your car?

A few examples from myself:

At the local drugstore:

Idiot: Cool car, what year is it?
Me: 69 camaro
Idiot: Are you sure? It looks like a mustang?
Me: Nope, it is a 69 camaro, see the emblem on the front?
Idiot: Well, those can be changed.
Me: Yeah, I guess your right, I better go check the title again.

Or another

Idiot: Camaro right?
Me: yep, 69
Idiot: Cool, I had a 64 when I was younger.
Me: Are you sure it was a camaro, they didn't start making those until 1967.
Idiot: Nope, I am positive, 64 camaro, They started in 64, not 67, Don't you know anything about cars?
Me: Oh, I am sorry, I will try and read up on them some more.

I am never mean or condescending, I just find it funny how sure people are of themselves. Anyone have any others? Hopefully I am not the only one.

when i was driving my grand national/hey what year monti carlo is that/

when i was driving my viper/why does the hood have speakers in it/96 gts coupe.they were vents/lol

[waynieZ]

When I was 17 I had a 69 Z/28 . That was 1972 . I got a recall on the car to put the stop lift cable on the engine. I went to my Chevy dealer and was giving the servise manager the information. Then he asked Me What engine do you have in it? I say 302. He says What? I say it again He says 307 ? I say 302. He says we don't make a 302 . I argue with him for about 20 minutes. Finnally he say s I'll bet you my pay this is not a 302. I said yes it is your on. He calls the head mechanic and says what engine is in the Z/28 he says 302. I said keep your money I'll take a set of factory headers. I never got the headers but he did have the body shop detail the car for me .

[fesler]

We are in IOWA at the GOODGUYS show right now and someone just told me I have a 1967 Chevy Tahoe not a Blazer. I was not aware that the Tahoe was out in that year. I better do some follow up

[Jbone]

This kid was convinced that the little 302 in my 1978 Granada was a big block. Couldn't do much to tell him otherwise, so what the hell?:thumbsup: :rofl:

[cencal69]

An idiot insisted that I put a 283 into the Camaro because he had a car with a 283 that ran strong.

[SickSpeedMonte]

when i was driving my grand national/hey what year monti carlo is that

Thats funny, I always get, "Nice Gran National!" :D

My ex's brother always swore that I had a 350 big block too.

Chris,

How about last year at Columbus when the lady said you couldn't park your "TAHOE" there when the air bag blew. She just didn't want to hear that you stopped right there on the thru-way. Not to mention she was just another spectator! LOL. Some people.

[Romulus]

I get Why isn't your car finished? What's so hard about it? :rofl:

I got the "I had a '66 Camaro that I restored and sold recently." I told him he should have kept it cause those are realllllly rare.

[BBC69Camaro]

"Nice Mustang", then wanted to argue about it when I tried to explain it was a Camaro...

[70rs]

Was told my old '65 GMC 4X4 was a nice Ford. I was not nice about the reply because he had a '69 Chev truck and should have known better.

[GregWeld]

I had a guy ask me how much I had in my Nomad... I said he should take a guess... his guess he said was probably "high" - and that I must have had maybe 10 Grand in it!

My reply was -- that wouldn't cover the shortblock....

LOL

[cluxford]

Just today one of the co-directors I sit on a board with says to me:

BM: "So how's your musclecar coming along"
Me: "Yeah really good, should go to paint in July or Aug"
BM: "So how much will you have in it by the time it is done"
Me: "More than I planned and I planned $150K, but I don't have the skill nor time to build it the way I want so it's getting professionally built"

BM: "Wow, so you don't have the time to build it, oh well what a waste of money as you therefore won't have the time to drive it"

[J-440]

"That thing gotta HEMI?" when the hood is popped open and the skinny valve covers from a 440 look very much like the ones on a 426.

This one from a ricer kid: "Nice turbo, what size is it?" when he's pointing at my alternator. I just look at him and walk away shaking my head.

[Alex B]

I was at a gas station filling up my brothers 1979 Volvo 240 when the guy at the next pump started staring at it. After a while he goes "Man that's a great car, I used to have one just like it. Except it was a Datsun"

My sister looks just like Cindy Crawford. Except she's shorter, and her face is different.

[montessaj]

lol Bernie, I get the same thing only they always say.
"Why did you pull the turbo 6 motor out?" I always just point to the bowtie under the hood and say...its a Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS.

[DFRESH]

I have an F3 Procharger on the race car and I had it at the GG show in Pleasanton.

Old guy walks up to it, doesn't know it's mine, and looks at it for awhile. He looks over to his son-in-law as says "Damnation, that's that biggest dam airconditioning unit I've ever seen, and look at the belt he has to use to turn the damn thing."

I can't resist---"Yeah, well my wife is pregnent (she was with our first), and I had to install that to keep her cool.

Old Guy--"Man, that thing must blow ice cold when you get it going"
Me, "Yeah, it puts out quite a loud whine as well"

Son in Law never says a word.

[MattO]

"Is that a DeLorean?" --Toyota MR2 w/ 'lambo doors'

"How loud is it?" -- Every person who's ever looked at my stereo...

I've got a ton regarding my stereo but some are those 'had to be there' type of situtations...

Best one though; "When you gonna finish it?"

Everyone knows a project is never really finished...

[DocJr]

Olds owners just ask for stupidity. Now of course most of these are normal, we just ask people to not be so persistant. Like the "Cutlass" and how our '68 isn't one, its just a 442, they keep arguing...

"You got the orginal 442 in that?" (Arguments rise, now we just agree and say yea)

"Nice Chevelle, Buick, Pontiac" etc., (Had Charger once)

"What is it!?" (Other times, people will ride our ass just to see the tiny letters on the chrome strip that reads "Oldsmobile" beings its the only place its written.

"Is that the rocket engine? or just the regular??"

"I didn't know Olds made a muscle car"

What I like the most is when I was still in High School, friends would ask about Dad's '68, they would look down upon the word "Oldsmobile"....untill they heard it!

I can't wait to get my 69 done...no emblems what so ever...

[Bakaruda]

As a Mopar guy I love these. People who swear they had a 383 Hemi in there 65 GTX. Or prople that say they bought new in 72 a Hemi Cuda. Got to love them all.

[fvike]

I'm sure ANY Mustang owner can relate:

Random idiot: "You should build an Eleanor"
Me: "No, it's an '69, Eleanors are '67-'68s"
Random idiot: "So?"
Me: "No body panel is the same!"
Random idiot: "Eleanor is cooler than your car."

[Vegas69]

You should put mud flaps on that thing to protect the fenders. :rolleyes:

[will69camaro]

Happened yesterday in my new car.

Random guys: "Man that car is sexy"
Me: "Thanks I just got it"
Random guys: "Can I drive it?"
Me: "Um...Sorry you'll have to get your own..."

Or driving the 69 in highschool I gave a friend's friend a ride.
Him: "Man I love this old car."
Me: "Thanks I love this car as well."
Him: "I've always wanted a 69 Fastback just like this"
Me: "This is a 69 camaro"
Him: "Really? Are you sure it's not a fastback Mustang?"
Me: "Uh...yea, pretty sure."

[Fluid Power]

I had one yesterday. I was at the gas station.

Dude: Nice Camaro, I had a Z/28 I bought new.
Me: Really? That is pretty cool
Dude: Yep, ordered it with the 454.
Me: Wow, you should have kept it, it would be worth a fortune.

[slownova73]

i had a guy tell me i had a nice mustang once, clearly its a chevy nova, i guess the bowties on the cowl hood didnt give it away.

[markss28]

At a car show one time some guy offered my friend $4,000 for his completely restored 1967 Shelby 500. I went to to say that his car was worth more around 80-100k His reply was, why its an old used car. I stoped my firend from replying, so is your wife.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Yesterday i drove my 67 to practice..

Theres some guys well known in atlanta called "shawdys"
(random shawdy image..)
http://24hourhiphop.com/thumbs/articles/Rumors/57700088Shawty.500x350.jpg



this shawdy walked past the camaro and asked

"whos car is this?"

"mine"

"wanna sell it?"

"nah.."
(started to get on my nerves.. this was during practice)

"why not?"

"it isnt in your cash bracket"

"what?"

"..."

"what kind of car is it?"





".... a Volvo."


he walked on..

[countryboy]

My 69 camaro is sitting there outside while me and some buddies was working on rides. The 69 is complete with new paint, new motor, New wheels! It was before I ripped it apart for the big build and it was road ready! A guy up the road had just bought a basket case 69 without a doghouse, drivetrain, or glass. He had the gall to ask if I would sell him the windshield out of mine!

At a car show with my corvair I had a guy run up to me screaming for me to call the cops. My motor was gone! I used to put the hood(front) up about a foot and the back all the way up! Always brought these questions!

I have a 69 chevy 4wd on 44s and diesel! The question come quick when you pull up to the wrong(to them) pump!

[talbotdd]

This happens nearly every time I drive my GMC Typhoon:

"Nice Blazer. Where did you get that body kit?"

I just say thanks and tell them to look up 'Typhoon' and see what they find.

Gets old real quick.

[69MyWay]

I took my 69 Camaro to the local Chevy dealer (where my friend worked) when I was moving to get his help changing the TCC valve (to use the lift...etc). I had to check it into the service lane.

The cute young girl came out with the plastic for the seat and note pad. She took the info from the car then filled out the form.

When she printed it out and handed to me to sign it said.

1969
Mustang


I didn't even bother to have her change it!

Good one! ,...........but
I didn´t know FORD made Trans Am cars in 1980! !............and shouldn´t there be a horse on the hood?! :rofl:

[DEIGuy38]

My buddy has his old ford flathead motor in the bed of his truck taking it to the shop to get it built. He stops for lunch and this guy and his girlfriend walk buy his truck and see the motor, this guy tells my buddy nice hemi. He told the guy is was a flathead ford not a hemi. The guy looks at his girlfriend and says that dude doesn't even know what kind motor he has.

[T_Raven]

I recently bought a 69 Firebird in Cali, towed it to Portland where I bought a 68 which I drove home to Idaho while my buddy towed the 69. Crack heads were coming out of the wood work everywhere we stopped. I don't mind talking about my cars for a min but it's constantly people saying the dumbest stuff. I try not to get annoyed but it's almost enough to make me not even want to drive my cars.

[Scotch]

I have to update mine. Recent developments have eclipsed all stupid comments made about my wagon in the past.

When we were returning from the Sandhills Open Road Challenge in Nebraska (awesome event, btw..www.sorcrace.com), we stopped for breakfast/fuel at a Sapp Bros. truck stop (highly recommended for breakfast, by the way...). While my partner was filling up the tank, I went to have a smoke by the front door of the restaurant. This particular raggedy ass piece of white trash joined me, and as the wagon rolled by on the trailer, he saw it with the race numbers affixed to the doors and said "Well, I guess they're gonna demo derby it. Too bad- its in pretty good shape..."

I know you can't technically spit up cigarette smoke, but that's pretty much what I did...

[CraigMorrison]

Best one two that I have heard:

1) toward a friends 64 Farilane Wagon - "you know when we first looked at your car we didn't like it, but now that we've had a few drinks it looks pretty good."

2) towards our Corvette with the as-bought resale red paint that was bubbling on the hood.
(old guy) Hey, that's a nice looking Corvette, but its a shame that there are all those rust bubbles on the hood.

[FastCat431]

Used to get "Nice Charger or what is it?" Tell them it is a 69 Mercury Cougar XR7 and some youger idiot will sometimes say that Mazda made the RX7 and it is too big to be a Mazda.:lol:

[sinnner70]

In reference to my white with a blue stripe, 1970 Trans Am, I often get:

'Is that a '76?'

Or taking it up a notch, 'is that the same car from Smokey and the Bandit?' I ask, seriously?

But my favourite at a local show (I don't attend show and shines anymore, I wonder why), as I'm talking to my brother in law these two guys are crouched and giving real attention to my car and the one dude says (referring to the wheel spats), 'it looks like he got those things from Canadian Tire'. I had to be restrained lol.

[Josh69]

I was driving my '69 bird down the freeway last year on the way to work. Some guy rolls up next to me with his window down...."Is that the new Challenger?"

I guess the chrome bumpers were the dead giveaway! :rolleyes:

[66GTFB]

In my 66 Mustang Fastback all the time I get "Is it an Eleanor?" or "Is that the same as the one in Bullitt?"

Recently some kid stopped me and asked "What year is it?" I said 66, he says "Oh too bad, my favourite is 67. Have you seen Eleanor?"

Unfortunately with it being a mustang, I think I'm gunna these comments forever.

[Matt@BOS]

As those of you that have attended car shows know, there is always the group three old guys cruising around together. One guy doesn't know anything and asks questions, the second guy knows everything about everyones car, and the third guy is generally quiet. Now at shows, these three guys always descend on each car. the first always asks what's under the hood, etc, the second guy always answers, and third just nods in agreement. Last show I went to I encountered several of such groups. That day I found out I had a 502 Ramjet instead of an LS2. I also learned I had a "Hotchkis like Camaro," which I later learned was a 67, not a 69. Still, nothing too outragous. I'm willing forgive those simple errors. I just feel bad for you Mustang guys with "Eleanors" and rusty Corvettes.

Curly: What-er-uh kind-uh motor is that?
Moe: It's a 440 hemi Stupid!!
Larry: *nods emphatically*

[Jimi-FM3]

A few years back, I pulled into a gas station with my AMX on my way home from a show-n-shine. Young kid walks over and says, "Hey man, cool car, what is it?" I tell him it's a 69 AMX, he says "oh, I thought it was a Mustang. Who makes the AMX?" I tell him American Motors and he says "I know it's American, but who makes it?"

[joe440]

i enjoy walking away from my car as soon as i get at a show then coming back like 20 minutes later so no one knows it mine and just listen to the stupid comments people make. the worst ive heard was "ya my cousin had the factory crossram on his dart too." some poeple ill tell yeh haha

[GregWeld]

Joe -- I do that too... it's a hoot.


I was at some "parking lot" show - and a guy about my age (old) comes over to look at the car... pretty soon he says to me -- "Wow! You must have a ton of dough in that thing... you must have.. what? 10... 15 grand in that by now!"

I said "yeah".... it's a real expensive hobby.

What would be the point in "explaining it" to him... :lol:

[GM Muscle]

My mom is a cosmo instructor and the other night i had to pick her up from work. Two students, one male and one female walk out the front door as im sitting in my car waiting.
the male student looked at the car and said "wow".
female: what is that
male: thats an ss! a chevy ss!
female: really?
male: yeah
famale: its nice
male: you know how much that car costs?
female: how much?

(I couldnt wait to hear how much my malibu was worth)

male: that car costs at least 80 grand!
female really?
male: yep!

Now my car is a decent driver but its just an SS clone malibu! i guess i was just amused because the guy was trying to impress the girl with his car facts and totally missed the mark and the girl just ate it up!

[2ndgenhunter]

I took my car into get aligned this morning. I needed gas. This guy in his 40s came up wearing a chevy hat and said " Thats a nice Fairlane!"

I've had a hobo say "Man that things either got a cam or it's missin!"

Standin by my buddy's '04 Mach 1, a guy walks up and says "what motor's in that thing?" I say "it's a DOHC 4.6" He replies " I guess he couldn't spring for the 5.0, Those things cost $7,000 more from the factory"

:thumbsup:

Nice Charger I've heard a couple times....

[Jims78elky]

Its amazing what people will say when your out in your project car..old or young people..I wonder sometimes if they even know what there driving,or have any clue of what makes a car run,or whats Involved in building or restoring a old classic car.,or even not so much a classic car. Some people get it..and the rest will just leave you standing in shock sometimes...I think at times that there just playing around,or to see if the can ''trip'' you up with what there saying to you about your car,but generally most of the time there completely clueless.

This was a couple of years ago..but I was stopped at a local gas station here and had the hood up on my El Camino checking it out, so some older guy walks buy.."wow..nice engine in there'' So I say " oh..thank you '' He goes.."so what ya running in it?" I say "Its got a 383 stroker'' He shakes his head,"Why would you put a Chrysler engine in it?" I almost laughed out loud on him,so just being a smart ass I replied back "Well..actually its a old Ford 289 engine that I had bored out really really big"

Guy goes.."Oh yeah I see...I had one of those in my old 68 Mustang"


So he walks off....


Iam shaking my head...:goofy:

AS Carlos Mencia would say........ DEETA DEEEEEE

[J-440]

Had a 67 Coronet and drove to the local show. The 67 rear wheelwells were sort of straight and not completely round like the fronts. Guy sees my car and says "Man, it must be a bitch to change those rear tires when you have a flat!!" I say "Why's that?". He says "Because don't you have to lower the axle to do it?" I let him slide b/c he was already into a few beers.
Oh yeah, and "Nice Impala".

[69496]

Just yesterday I guy asked me if I want to sell my 1990 Camaro. Nothing wrong with that other than my Camaro is a 1970.

[SLO_Z28]

I was taking one of our 09 Chargers to get it washed, and these two ricer kids walk up, stop in their tracks all slack jawed, and say "Oh ****, the cops have the new camaros now!"

lol.

I wish we had 2010 Camaros......

[79transam455]

Haha Ive been asked what year Camaro is that?
When TRANS AM is decaled on the entire car!

What engine is that?
A 455.
Why would you put that big of engine into that car?
Because I can.
Thats stupid. You must get horrible fuel economy.

[cees67]

i was at cruise this weekend and i have never had more people walk up to me and with a serious look, ask me flat out how much money i have in my car. I had my wife standing next to me the whole time which made it twice as awkward.:_paranoid .... i dont get that at all:rolleyes:

[FreddieCougar]

While I was in Seattle visiting my mom, I sometimes drive her Saleen Explorer. One time I was getting gas, and a guy was walking laps around it, looking it over. Finally he says "nice job" To which I replied, "what do you mean?" He said "it's a nice fake, you must have put a lot of time into that"
Wasn't worth the time to explain it to him.

[DataBit]

At the local drugstore:

Idiot: Cool car, what year is it?
Me: 69 camaro
Idiot: Are you sure? It looks like a mustang?
Me: Nope, it is a 69 camaro, see the emblem on the front?
Idiot: Well, those can be changed.
Me: Yeah, I guess your right, I better go check the title again.

I think it is the funniest conversation about cars. Lols
The second one is also awesome. :)

[va72mlibu]

two 14 year old boys and two 14 year old girls walked by my garage the other day while I was in there working. I assume the boys were trying to impress the girls. Here's the conversation as I heard it.

Boy: It's an Optima. Those things are fast!

[Diognes56]

The stupidest thing anybody has said about my car was said by my sister. I was on day 3 of working on her car, installing parts that I bought because she could not afford them and doesn't know there is a problem with her vehicles untill something won't work. She comes up and says "So are you ever going to work on your '55 (I have a '56)? You should just sell it, you are never going to finish it". My response shall not be repeated :mad: .

The runner up was some random older guy, back when I could drive my car.
Guy: What is that?
Me: 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air.
Guy: Chevy didn't make cars in '56.
Me: Really? Why is that?
Guy: That is why you always see "1955 dash 1957". They didn't make them in '56 because of the war. You must have a '55 because the '57 four doors were all hardtops.
At that point I walked away :rolleyes: .

The oddest thing was a sweet little old lady. She walked up and said "Nice '56 Chevy. My son was conceived in that car." and then she walked away :rofl: .

Had my 96 GRANDSPORT out for a quick ride ,I had to stop for some gas . A guy in a new Challenger looks at my car and proceeds to tell me '' I SEE IT DID'NT TAKE YOU LONG TO JUMP ON THE DODGE HASH MARK BANDWAGON'':_paranoid I just smiled and told him to go do his homework on the Corvette GRANDSPORT , your about 47 years late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a '69 Camaro with license plates that read: "ROKN 69", followed up by a license plate frame that reads "'69 Camaro".

I still get asked "What year is it???"

I've been told I have a very sharp looking Chevelle.

And it's been called a Mustang on more than one occasion. I especially loved one comment, "That's a nice SS Mustang!" Hmm...

i was at cruise this weekend and i have never had more people walk up to me and with a serious look, ask me flat out how much money i have in my car. I had my wife standing next to me the whole time which made it twice as awkward.:_paranoid .... i dont get that at all:rolleyes:

I got one of those this morning at the gas station. Guy asked how much I paid for it. I said I didn't buy it, I built it. He said, Cool, I could do that. I said, it took 3 years and $50K. He didn't say another word. :rolleyes:

"I can't believe your dad trusts you with is car"

"Here's my number, I want some parts when you wrap it around a tree"

Those are just a few, also a bunch of people think my camaro is a 67-69 when it is a 70.
