Why can't people get my car's name right?
I don't get it..... people are soo ignorant. My trans am has been called a "camaro" multiple times, often times by people who consider themselves knowledgeable about cars.
It has been called a "Ws6", no matter how many times i tell them it isn't, people still will call it a ws6.
Also I have people who call it a "firehawk" regardless of what i tell them they go back to calling it a firehawk....
Is trans am that hard to remember?

This stuff all seems like common sense to us, but to people totally uninterested in cars; well then just don't really know the difference.
I've seen many people over the years mistake GN's for Monte Carlo SS's. Then you tell them it's a Grand National and they look at you like you just gave birth to a chicken and say..... "Huh??? What the hell is that???".

Lol saw a formula driving by today and my friend was riding with me. I said nice formula and he goes "What the hell is a formula?" What ensued was probably quite boring to him, but it was a 5 minute talk on every package available to the firebird.

how you cant know the difference between a camaro and a firebird is beyond me. Thats just uncalled for.
The trim lines, production years, and engine you gotta give people a break as they likely just dont know

I think more people have called my car a camaro than Trans Am, I always love correcting them and a brief history of f-bodies. But I think the Formula guys have it the worse.
