Camaro Girl

In August I was paying my phone bill. The guy that was helping me asked if the Camaro was mine. Nobody else there, only me and the only car in the parking lot. (kinda obvious)... I said yes. He asked if it was a V8. I said no.. Then he asked, "well what is it then?" So I tried not to laugh. Told him just a 6. Then I was told later that I should have told the guy it was one of those new very secret V10 concepts. LOL... I wish I would have thought of that. I would have loved to see his reaction....

Yeah...sometimes when people ask me the most obvious question I just sit there and stare at them trying to figure out if they are serious.

Say you couldn't decide if you wanted a V6 or a V8 so you compromised and got a V7

Uhhh, not so obvious I'd say. He may have thought it was your dads car, husbands car or your boyfriends car, etc etc.
Seems like a valid question to me.

no, the obvious part was if it's not a V8 then it's gotta be a V6.

hey sarge that is wrong also. That is not obvious either. You assume he has knowledge of f-bodies and or cars. Logically speaking a person could believe it to be a 4 cylinder or whatever.
For me and you yes it is obvious.

True... I do take for granted that every guy knows about cars. I've met some that have no clue. Hell I know a guy that didn't even know the a/c was fixable till I told him.... And true it could have been my dad's car or my boyfriends... If that was the case I'd be driving a 64 1/2 mustang or a WS6...

This thread makes me think about how everytime me and my friend go to any dealership we teach the salesmen somthing about cars. everytime. never fails.

so cars only come with v8s and v6s(instead of have boxer 4s, 6s, straight 6s and 8s, v4, v12...ect ect.)? how come everyone is SUPPOSED to know about fbodies(or vcars for that matter)? Were you ever knew on the scene and didn't know EVERTHING? or was just curious about another car? I know I was once new to cars and didn't know about soem things, and i'm glad people didn't make fun of me, it may have discourage me from getting into cars.

Camarogirl I think we all got your drift. I love it at the shows when people who don't know about cars pretend to know and talk crap.
They always know someone who had one just like it and it ran 9's off the showroom floor with slicks on it.
yeah right...

Camaro Girl

I don't mean to make fun of anyone. If there is something I don't know about cars I just ask. I honestly don't ever remember not knowing anything about cars. My dad started to teach me about them before I could even talk. I know not everyone knows everything, but sometimes common sense should just kick in. There is more than one engine size. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

girlwithapony

people think my car is a v6 all the time cuz the 99 and 00 gt's have the same style hood... so i get the assumption a lot that mine's a 6. then they hear it and STILL ask if it's a v6. retards.

lol,...thats funny.

yeah, when my dad was shopping to buy my mom a car, every dealership we went to, he knew more than the salesman... every dealership, without fail. he knew all the options, the costs, hp, everything he could find. he decided that if his dairy ever fails, he's just going to become a car salesman. figures then there'll be at least one that knows something.

i don't think you offend anyone..I was just pointing out...this guy JUST asked a question..just like you would do if your weren't sure..... How is it common sense that a camaro should have a 6cyl if it doesn't have a v8? You know, at one point they had 4 cylinders in them.

exactly, i knew nothing about LS1's when i first bought my car(knew about cars, but not ls1 specifics or what to look for with fbodies)....just liked how camaro's looked and wanted a Z28 But i learned, now ask me if i know **** about imports ? hell no.
