Why can't people get my car's name right?
#41
I had alot of people tell me that my ride is a SS instead of a Z28, even with my car parked next to a SS - go figure???
Even worse I was at the track two weeks ago and basically every other car owner that ran their car that night asked me does it have a LS1? And that's after I told them that the car is indeed a Camaro, and is indeed a Z28 not a SS, nor a standard camaro with a V6.

I don't mind if people call my Z/28 a Camaro
or call me Trans Am a Firebird
those are perfectly fine answers. Its just i don't know how some people fabricate the names they use.

What I always get are these 2 questions:
1. Do you still have the Trans Am?
2. Does that have a 350?

I always get asked "That thing got a 350 in it?" I've gotten to the point where i'm just like "yup."
The classic " is that thing a 5-speed?" I'm like "No, it's a 6-speed." Then they look at me in awe...it's like wtf?
I've been asked a few times if it has an LT1 in it, and been called a z/28 before as well.

After I had it for 5 months, my 19 year old daughter called it a Corvette.
A coworker's wife saw me pull in the parking lot at work. Her view was blocked by other cars, so she asked what I was driving. I said "A Firebird." When I was leaving, she asked to take a closer look. I said "sure." When she got closer, she said "Oh, a Trans Am!"

I dunno how many times I've seen ppl call em ******..not Pri (silent x)
I always thought men were born w/ a car gene..but that seems to be less true everyday...
I love when you ask ppl what they drive "oh a Toyota"
"what kind?"
"I dunno...its a toyota..I just drive it"
I'd love to see when they need to order a part
"Hi auto zone"
"I need a betl for a toyota"
"what yr and model?"
"How should I know its a toyota?"
"Um..corrola,tundra,prius?"
""A toyota?"
"Just bring the ******* Title in.."
Or down southh we have the lovley Baller lingo
"Yah man I need a cap and rotor for a 87 Bru-ick (buick)"
"Ok, what model?"
"Bru-ik?"
"No the model"
"87?"
LOL....
