That might be the best one yet!

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:

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.

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:

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.

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.

LOL---"Have you seen Eleanor?"--LOL----

Ahhhhhhhhhh
 

if i have to hear hey it's a pontiac tempest does it have positraction as the guy or girl is stomping their foot one more time i'm going to snap

Hey, I've seen that episode.

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

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?"

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

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:

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!

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!"

^^^^^^ In a Chevy hat no less!!!:rofl:

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....

:)

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:


-Jim

these are classic! more more more!! :D

great stuff
 

SO FUNNY

I had been driving my 65 rambler 4 dr..440 emblem on the c pillar stand for the trim package
I cant tell you how many times i heard "dang that things got a 440 in it ,i bet it will fly"..... :lol:
if i tell them "no it has a 6 cylinder "they ask "what did you do with the 440"....:rofl:

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

TOM

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".

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.

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......

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.

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:

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.

I get that all the time. Easy answer... "too much!"

A Car Joke
 

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

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.
Girl: That's a cool car. What is it?
Boy: It's an Optima. Those things are fast!

http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle.../722340785.jpg

That's a cool Ford Optima... :_paranoid :_paranoid :rofl: :rofl:

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...

my girlfriend pulled a good one this weekend and said "your stupid f*cking car"

i got pretty riled up and there was a small dispute.. i think that is one of the dumbest things she could have said..

LOL thats just and daily thing for me :willy: :willy:

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.
