ON THE POSITIVE SIDE.................. i had the Road Runner out yesterday and i pulled into the conveniant store for some smokes. as im waiting at the counter, this dude comes up from behind me and says " thats GOTTA be your purple road runner out there".i replied...."yes but how did you know it was mine ".he said..." well...the first thing i seen on it was the shackles, and i got a big smile on my face and it took me right back to the 70's " we spoke for a while and i got in the car....he was on his way to his car and he is STARING at the purple thing as he is walking to his car. i backed out , dropped it in drive...and laid him a strip about 15 feet long in the parking lot of the store.

you would have thought i just handed that man a million dollars the way his face just LIT UP ! biggggg smile on his face and he said "thanx for that". i was waiting at the light and i noticed him right behind me. i waved him on to follow me (i live very close to the store) . we pulled in my driveway and i said.."if you like this one, youll love what i got in here " as i pointed to the barn. he said "OH MY GOD,,,,YOU GOT MORE" ...I opened the door to reveal the '66 Belvy II, and once again, you would have thought i just gave him another million dollars. "I CANT BELIEVE WHAT IM SEEING.... not one but 2 absolutely pristine mopars" we talked for a bit, he took about 50 pictures, and he was on his way. so as many moronic idiots that are out there....there are a few ( just a few)...that appreciate and know about these cars ! his reactions made ME feel like a million dollars and that my hard work was appreciated by a total stranger...it really made me feel great!

I had a car exactly like that one, except mine was a (two year difference) with 4 doors and green paint, etc.

I figure idiots are fair game, so when after all the above, they ask me what kinda engine? I say it's a Yugo. They ALWAYS say YUGO??? and I'll tell em, "Yea, yugo on down the road and don't worry about it"

I pulled in to a gas station to get gas for my (at the time) lemon twist 73 road runner. It is decently loud both visually and audibly - muscle car vibe all the way. As I got out and started pumping gas, a guy next to me finished and started walking in to the office to pay. As he walked by, he said "Nice car! What kind of gas mileage does it get?"

I blurted out "WHO CARES???"

Of course, this was before $4+ gas... :black_eye:

so im checking the oil in the duster (nova) back when it had a single throat 2 barrel BBD that had a tiny 4 inch lawnmower air cleaner on it and this guy walks up to me and says "wow, i see you got the holley 750 double pumper on there, ive ran a few , they are kick-*** carbs. i bet that thing really hauls the mail"

i see how he could have been mistaken

One I just remembered. We were at a show a couple of years ago and this kid walks around my 64 Belvedere a couple of times, then spends about 10 minutes looking at the interior and dash, then he walks away. A little later, he comes back with a friend and they spend another 10 minutes or so looking at the interior. They both walk away talking. About an hour later they come back and the first kid says "can I ask you a question?" "Sure" I said. He says "How does this thing work if there is no shifter in the car?" I said "take one last look at the dash." It didn't help so I had to "splain" it to them.:confused5:

My answer woulda been, "magnets."

I was on my way to a car show around 6 one Sunday morning and stopped at a doughnut shop with my '65 Formula S and had the only guy in the lot ask what year my Studebacker was! I just mumbled something to him. On my way out of the place he asked if I wanted to sell it. I thought perfect, he wants to buy my car and he doesn't even know what make it is!

we got that one with the Boss's Ghia not too long ago

My nephew told his friends my car originally had a 383 and they laughed at him saying "383 is a chevy motor!" can't swing a dead cat without hitting a chevy with a 383 stroker, and why not. Wish I could by a new Balanced and bluprinted stroker for under 3 gs....

this has happened a lot of times. go to a cruise lift the hood and hang around. more people come by looking and compliment the nice shinie 440 motor. they see the 440 on the side of the fender. i use to explain that it is a hemi in a 440 model car. now i just thank them for the compliment.

A few years ago, I was at Moparfest. I was looking at a car, and my boys came t me with a bewildered look on their faces.

They had overheard a couple of teens complaing that the show sucked because there were no Mustangs there.
