Yeah I think I got brain damage from that conversation with her haha. I hope Mr. STI kept that ridiculous wing on his car to iron my shirts one day.

While at a car show two college age girls walked up to my 67 vette and me sitting next to it and said, "Wow, this is nice. Is this an old Mustang?" They were serious and not joking, albeit definitely clueless

"I had one just like this..... except it was a big-block."

"Sweet, a ZR-1 convertible!"

"They stole the fender stripes from Dodge."

"My Mustang could kick it's *** all day long."

Here are just a few:

Neighbor keeps claiming his stock rx8 must be faster because it redlines at 9k...

Prior to the c7 coming out, having non car people ask what year vette it was and upon replying 07, getting asked "thats the older style one right?"

Cop pulling me and claiming my car has an insert for a license plate on the front bumper because their 99 did...

Getting asked what kind of vette it is and after answering c6, hearing the reply "you mean Z06"

Some guy pulls next to me at a light and asks if "the car is too fast" for me because I braked at the last second; "I didnt think you were going to stop"

On Sunday, an old guy at a restaurant asked me if it was a new Mustang because it said Callaway on the back!

Most people couldn't tell a C6 from a Z06 if you parked them side-by-side. Many people couldn't tell a Corvette from a Nissan. I don't mind a dumb question. I figure at least they asked and they might learn something in the process.

While on the starting grid at the track (with RPM's rising) an older woman ran up to my window and asked the same thing...."What kind of car is it?" I didn't mind the question but risking your life to ask it is something else.

I get this surprisingly often: "Nice car, want to switch?"

I down play all dumb questions...... guy asked me how big is the engine. I said oh its just a 350 block......

Coming off the freeway I pull up to an SUV loaded with 20 y/o as I do I roll down my window which one of the guys did not notice as he commented F'in ugly Corvette. When we made eye contact he said what are you staring at? I said not much. He said you compensating for your short Dik in that? And I said yea I'm here in this with my lovely lady and you are in a grocery gitter with a bunch of guys........pretty gay.

One comment I made....... got to be careful..... guy said at a gas station gee I wish I had a corvette. I shot back w/o thinking some people wish some people work hard and make it happen.

I was also told not to put a cam in my car (c6 z06) because I would only pick up 2-3 hp.

as I was fueling up at a gas station, I had a guy ask me if i had a "half cam" in the engine. I smiled and said, "no I have the whole thing in it" he just cocked his head & said it sounds good.

I just said thanks

"It's time for you to rotate your tires" That was said to me by a tech at a dealership in my area. To say the least I left.
