Do you get asked these dumb questions

-
I had a guy once ask me about my Maverick referring to my 68 fastback.
 
more times than not, i get people asking me "have you owned this very long?". im still trying to understand the meaning behind that. of all the questions, why would someone ask if you've had it long? most of the time i tell them "yes, i bought it brand new".
 
I love all questions. Gives a chance to talk about anything. It's so simple to change the subject. If it's a pretty girl, well that's just a bonus.
 
You only need a few zombie guns but ammo is what you want to hoard.


Cause that totally wouldn't throw up red flags in light of recent events.


It also doesn't bother me when they guess the wrong car. I couldn't tell half the new generic vehicles apart.
 
I had a guy come up to me and asked how much I have in my car? I told him I have nothing in it........I stole it.
 
If I had a dollar for everytime I got asked "what years your nova" I'd be rich. I often get asked if the dart is the car from the movie joe dirt. My favorite is when I was at the gas station the other night, hood up and checking the oil when a kid walked up, pointed to my alternator and asked "how you liking that supercharger?" I told him I loved it, and it was making 14.7 psi atmospheric, and had 1000 rear wheel horsepower, he then asked to pose with the car for a Facebook pic. We're still laughing at him.
 
Your point was proven tonight. A man I know, a mechanic for Goodyear, asked me the dumb questions I posted. Not a lady, a guy! So, with apologies, I retract assigning such questions to ladies and rephrase it to "people." Guess you are right.
 
I don't feel so bad now. Some of you have been asked crazier stuff than I've encountered. How could anyone confuse a Nova for a Mopar??? Asking someone how much they have in a car and they don't even know you? Wow. I am definitely resemble the recipient of questions about how many Zombie guns I have. I rotate them up to be cleaned so often, my wife has no idea how many I "really" have. I had a friend who drove a beautiful 69 Road Runner 383 4-speed. What drove him nuts was people asking, "what engine do you have?" He'd say "383" and they'd say "Oh..." with an air of disappointment. I'm going the rebel route. When I finally finally get the Barracuda built, with a nice thumpin 360, I'm putting a 318-4 barrel pie tin on the air cleaner and telling everyone its a 318 with an exhaust leak. Ha ha. Hey, great stories from everyone who responded. Like I said, I don't feel like I have it so bad now.
 
Recently bought a 360/ TF. Bad, the guy lied about condition. Good, it was cheap. He was explaining that some guy came clear up to Spokane from Kellogg (about 80-90 mi ONE way) and asked the guy a question about the engine. I've forgotten what the question WAS, but HE thought the thing was a FORD 360!!!


Years ago, some guy came into the store with a nice old 62? Vette, and needed some of the great big heater duct that they have under the hood. I went out to help measure, and of course a crowd gathered.

Some guy says "Zat a 327??"

Well it WAS but the thing COULD'VE been anything from a 283 to a 350, maybe even a 400

Then this moron continues................

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................ya cun always tell a Corvette engine because THERE ARE JUST A LITTLE SHORTER than a "reg'lar" Chivvy!!!!"
 
I used to have a triple black '70 Challenger convertible. People would look right at the "Challenger" script on the front fender and ask 'what year is your Charger?' :wack: If I had a $1 for every time I was asked that I could have bought at least a pretty good meal.

If you think that's bad, I once had a guy ask if I got asked dumb questions.......
 
I was out working on the Dart the other night and a guy pulled up and said Nice Road Runner, What year is it? Atleast he thought if a Mopar instead of a Chivvy.
 
My 58 imperial has the badge on front guards in running writing imperial. Wish I had a dollar for everytime someone called it an impala. Someone looked at the engine the other day and asked what it is. I replied 392 hemi. The guy then said I thought hemis were only six cylinders.
 
yeah its funny owning an imperial ,because as soon as the knucklheads off the street see those first 3 letters I M P it instantly becomes a chevy impala ,no sorry buddy its an imperial,not impala and my car was built by chrysler not chevy and it starts with the letters C H too!!!!
 
Then this moron continues................

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................ya cun always tell a Corvette engine because THERE ARE JUST A LITTLE SHORTER than a "reg'lar" Chivvy!!!!"

Something only the most trained eye usually picks up on!!! :-k

I like to talk about my car to anyone and like I said before I don't mind dumb questions, but I hate when some goofball thinks that he knows more about YOUR car then you do?!?! That's what gets me.
 
At least once a week when I'm runnin' the '75 Dart Sport ( with the chrome plate "DODGE" across the back) some a-hole's just gotta roll up at the light n' ans "Hey sweet! What year's yer Nova, man?" I just wanna slap the piss outta them all! LMAO
