My apologies to the ladies but these questions come mostly from your sex.

When I lived in California, I had a 66 Sport Fury, 68 Barracuda, 66 Valiant Convertible and people would ask, "What are you going to do with all those cars?" I realized that the use of the word "all" meant this was a statement, not a question, and typically answered by shaking my head. If you have to ask...
Second question, I am often working on my engineless Barracuda and Charger, engine bay body work and acquaintances, wife's friends, etc. say "What are you going to do with if when you are done?"
or
"Are you going to sell it when you are done?"
I'm thinking, these are cars I wanted all my life, what am I going to do with it? DRIVE IT. Sell it? After all the work, blood, and ups and downs? Sell it? What?
 
I don't know, some people just don't get it. Ask them what their life's love is

Stamp collectors hoard stamps

Sewing enthusiasts hoard all kinds of patterns and materials

Us ham operators hoard ham radio and electronics gear of all sorts

So ask THEM? What is YOUR vice?

Or if its one of your stereotype particularly irritating females, tell her

"These cars were made when cars were cars and men were men, and women were damn glad to have either!!!"

Now this car right here is what is called a "one of none." It's one that supposedly, Chrysler never built, only HERE it is. This car has a special set of cylinder heads and camshaft being used to try and beat (insert famous fictitious driver's name) Screwball Winitelli who was driving Fords. Somehow these parts made it to the assembly line for this car. This makes this car nearly priceless in value.

I actually found the assembly line workers who assembled this car, and they confirm that the letters SP in the truck mean "special project," and wrote me a notorized letter. Unfortunately, they are both gone now.
 
Sometimes when my wagon used to be black and red, I would be asked if it was a hearse. Lol
 
Sorry if you get the lady's but I get the dumb *** men.People look at me and swear that my barracuda isn't mine.When they find out it is the same questions come up.This is the one I get the most. ("Are you going to sell it when you are done?") and how much do you think it's worth.My answer is do you have enough money to but it ? If not don't worry about it.("Are you going to sell it when you are done?").Some people have to have a value on everything.My car has no value because I don't intend to sell it.I had it 20 sum odd years a looking forward to enjoying it.I had it in the shop getting the roll bar put in and 90% of the people that came on there could not believe that was my car.The other 10% was wondering why he was doing work for me.I have to say that the fabricator and me have became best of friends.Thank God
 
I get these questions all the time from women, but can't just blow them off because they are my wife and sisters.

Re "why so many cars?" question, I point out that our newest car has 130K miles and the others have 185K, 185K, 330K, ???, ???, & ??? miles. Thinning of the herd will occur naturally. The dual Mercedes "problem" is because I bought the 2nd one ($400) for its engine to fix the 1st one and ended up fixing it (cracked K-frame) and finding another engine ($300) for the 1st. Blue Book is only $1000 for the 96 Voyager and it serves fine for getting to work and hauling things, plus good mileage from the 2.4L.
 
I get asked if I'm going to sell the duster when I'm done by everyone. I don't take it as a rude or stupid question. Those people have no idea what your childhood dream car was. I have so many different cars I want, that unless I turn out to be the biological bastard child of Jay Leno, my only option is to keep fixing and selling cars, until at one point and time, I've owned them all! :D
 
I'll never forget when I first married my wife. She said do we really need three old cars? I just looked at her and said yes, and I never told her how many pairs of shoes she could buy and she has never said nothing to me again when I wanted an old car!
 
Stupid drunks are the worst.

Can't tell you how many times I came close to punching them in the face over stupid comments.
They seem to get mad when you Don't want to do what they want you to do with your car.

Why did you do this? and why did you not do that? And you're crazy for not doing this.

I can only take so much of that before I tell them to get the f away from me and my car which is why I'm so tired of retarded car shows any more, plus everyone wants friggin $20 just to show up, even if you don't care about trophies and registering.

Seriously thinking about selling my car and buying zombie apocalypse guns with the proceeds.
 
Alot of people dont understand it when I tell em that it is a brand new "73 Duster" but this thing has been built from the ground up and is to me a new car.

I've been asked many stupid questions by women in my life. "What are you going to do with your hair? Are you going to put clothes on today? Why do you insist on poking me with that thing? Do these jeans make my butt look fat?" And the number one most stupid question ever, "Are you ever going to grow up?"
 
Jones, I just tell them "I may get older, but I will NEVER grow up". LMAO...

I had an old man looking at my car the other day and the only thing he said was "How much you got in this car?!?" I said, about twice what's it worth and drove away.

Some people just don't get us.
 
I usually get just comments at the gas station...

More then twice I have had guys tell me they had a "Super Bee" just like mine??? My custom stripe is throwing them off I guess or they never looked that closely at their Super Bees??

I don't mind the dumb comments that much, the thing that gets me are the guys that are so full of crap and tell you they owned this car or that car and how fast it was and you know that they have no clue at all about the car they are trying to convince you that they owned.

lmao:burnout:i plan on hoarding zombie apocalypse guns too, but keeping the mopar cars behind the ramcharger plow truck and mow through hoardes of undead uglies, lol figure i'll conserve bulletsthat way:toothy8:
 
Wow. Seems to me like many of the people in this thread are just too touchy. Not everyone restores cars. I don't think it's offensive if they ask me questions about them or the process.

But yes, Cudaspaz... XD Appearently their memories are poor, because I hear people saying the same things. "Oh. I had an /original/ cobra back in... what year was this one? 69?... Back in 69. Yeah. Was a damn good car."
 
I just got this yesterday.WOW is that a 69 nova custom? I just said yes
 
Here's a few:

"Don't you have enough guns?"

"Don't you have enough guitars?"

"Does this outfit look OK?"

I can go on forever! LOL!
