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

[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.

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"

About my 80 trans am with the biggest bird every offered on the hood: "nice camaro"! I don't even bother correcting them anymore.

"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.

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.

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.
