Hey does your Nova have a 327?? It could be worse!
I have a 340 and very few people ask if it has one. Most of the time it is 318 or slant 6?
I get the 440 question a lot. When I tell them it is a 340 they say. " O thats the small motor".
You cant win. Just smile and wave. LOL
sure but if i hear "nice nova" again im gonna slam someone's head in the door.
it has been called a Nova more than once. That is an unforgivable sin!
Or you could be cordial,and be happy that someone is talking to you about your car.
That's what it's about,right ?
Lord knows, I'm full of snappy comebacks. But when someone is asking you something like that & they give you the benefit of the doubt that it's not just another 318, but the higher performance motor, they're just curious about you car & looking to engage you in conversation about it because they like it. Take it as a compliment & then tell them what it really is & some more about it. I wouldn't bite their head off over it. I'm sure you have asked just like the rest of us, someone at sometime, what they have in their car & guessed wrong. It just happens.
I'm just curious how you did the trim at the base of your hood scoop...
I understand the cordial thing, but after a few hundred times, I don't have any cordiality left. And it has been called a Nova more than once. That is an unforgivable sin!
