It just makes you shake your head and wonder how they got this far in life

Went to the local auto store this morning for some putty and acetone, the dork at the register asks what I'm up to, nice conversation maker, I told him about the project, the 1964 Barracuda. He gets all gushy and says "That has the hemi in it, huh??" I explained to him the only V8 those came with was a 273, but that mine has the 340.

He starts telling me about his 1968 Chevelle with the factory 296 engine, now I was ready to tell him Chevy didn't make a 296, thought he meant 396. He then says he wants to put a 454 or a 396 in it, and get rid of the "296". Also, he said about the rust on it and that it was going to take lots of rivets and Bondo to cover it up!!

Sheesh, they walk among us.............
