Since we seem to be the guys with the "oddball" cars, getting silly or strange comments about our cars, I was curious if anyone here did the same thing....To the Ford, GM or other owners.
I used to be a Chevy guy. I wasn't into production numbers or OEM correct stuff though. I've never been into Imports, Fords or anything else. Sometimes I go to "all makes and models" type of shows and like to turn the tables on the other guys.
I've gone up to Camaro owners and asked them "What year is this Vega?"
I've seen Datsuns and called them Toyotas.
I've done all of this on purpose just to get a reaction. I L O V E the looks I get from the confused people. My personal favorite was at a show in Redding CA. There was a nice 71 Charger with about 6-7 people around it. I walked alongside the car, looked under the hood and said..."This is the nicest Mustang here..."
It was as if the music screeched to a halt, everyone froze in place then looked my way in total amazement.
I cracked up laughing and walked off.
 
I keep waiting for an opportunity to use my line. " Is that a Lambrusco Quattrofromaggio with the Penne Fagioli body?"
 
I asked one guy if his 2009 Chevy had been recalled for the ID 10 T computer glitch that the newer one's suffer from. He looked at me then said "Is it a danger? Is that why they recalled it?" I said "More of a danger than you know and you should go look it up on the internet!"

That ID joke is popular at the office too.
Today at a 7-11, I saw an old Ford roll in with the hood off. Being serious for a change, I asked if the engine was a Cleveland. The driver said it was a 427 Side Oiler. Here was one of Fords most impressive engines and I couldn't identify it.
 
Was cracking a joke on this guy that owned a 70 chevelle. Sweet car but it's a chevi

Anyways I always tell him bow ties are for little boys or You must like fixing your car! Why? Chevys are always break.
 
Once in a while I'll ask a Lexus owner...
What Miles per gallon do you get with that Camry ? :argue: :D
 
When someone ask me what kind of gas mileage I get in my SRT 10, I tell them the same as your truck, just a whole lot faster.
 
I don't poke fun at anyones ride as I hate it when done to mine by ignorant people who don't own or know crap about mopars
 
I like going to dedicated muscle car events and asking Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, and E-body owners why they are there. Get's them very spun up when I point out they own Pony cars and not Muscle cars. ;)

You forgot about Corvettes :toothy10:

I like to say this to people who know Jack Schitt about MoPars....

"If I have to explain....you wouldn't understand"
 
Nice Camaro.... he he ha ha
 
I really don't polk fun either, unless provoked/ in defense. I just don't waste my time or breathe on something I really couldn't give 2 shakes about. Build your car to do the talking for you. Amazing how fast it will shut people up If you do a good job at it.
 
Out of my "fondness" for foreign cars, I refer to Lexus as Toyotas, Acura as Honda, & Nissan as Datsun, Slaab, and Mitsushitsu, Audi as folkswagon, and the Porsche Bugster sports car.
 
The guy across from me is a big Ford guy, His wife has a ford, his son has a Ford, All their friends have Fords, This guy has been building a Mustang for at least 16 years. He finally gets it done this year, He painted it Gun metal Grey. Now don't get me wrong, it's a good looking car. But Gun metal Grey ? it doesn't stand out, If it was parked in a parking lot , you would have to trip over it to notice it. He has his friends over and they all stand around looking at it. He revs it up and shuts it off. I pull my Roadrunner out it's garage and just let it idle on the driveway before taking off.. NUFF Said. I can tell it really Irks him.

Ford Guys are a strange group. I feel sorry for his 30 something son, who still lives there and is completely brainwashed. I can't help but think, the reason he didn't go out on his own, and get a well paying job. Is because of the Whole Ford thing.
 
When at a show or the magazine stand,,, wherever..... Someone usually says something like "That's my Chevy over there", OR "I have a Chevy (this or that)"..... My reply is always the same ...... "I'm sorry to hear that!"..... LOL! Then I follow with a "I'm just kidding"... "I like them all,,,,,, well most of them"......
 
I like to ask the chevy guys how come their starter sounds funny:)
 
At a car show I ask a guy what gears were you running?.He said .."Hell yea, its got a 4 speed"..
 
Years ago, while helping my buddy prep his 63 Sport Fury for paint, he had a neighbor with a 69-70 Nova. The Nova was a good looking car with a "built" engine. It had about 3 or 4 chrome gauges mounted on the cowl behind the hood. He made a snide comment about the old Mopar. I responded with "It's too bad about your car". He asked what I meant. I said" All them gauges added on lets the whole world know you are expecting trouble out of that heap"! LOL He got red faced and left!
