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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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"
