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

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.
