alright, i was talking about this with a couple of my friends at the tent late last night...
do you get iritated when someone calls your car something it is not?

for example, this girl repeatedly called my car a camaro when it is a trans am. which was fine with me because she was hot but when a guy calls my car a v6 firebird i get a lil heated. is it just me?

I never really got angry about it because I never saw it as something to get all worked up about. This usually happens when I try to buy parts for it from Kragen or Autozone. Other than that, people take one look at the hood and know exactly what the name of the car is.

In that case, I quietly laugh to myself then respectfully correct them which usually leads to the "is it a manual or an automatic?" question.

i always like the "does that have the v8 engine in it?" and i reply with a "yes sir, yes it'er does"

I just laugh at them usually - not everyone is a car nut.

If she is hot and the car makes her want to go for a ride, in any sense of the word, then she can call it Volkswagen Bug for all I care, haha.

I usually do politely correct them, though. If it's a guy who calls it a V6 Camaro, I tell him he is corret and ask him if he wants to race for money.

I just politely chug a bottle of beer, break it over thier head and scream obscenities at them until they feel like a lost little girl. Makes me feel better. Other than that it doesn't bother me.

LOL, i drive an SS and people do the same thing with the V8 engine. but i think its cool when people even come around and start talking about my car. but yea if someone were to say it had a V6 i would be a lil irritated.

I tend to simply correct them on the outside....but from timeto time i get PISSED on the inside. Its not so bad with the formy i have now. But when i still had my Formy Firehawk it bothered me. It was rare period, plus being a formy platformed Hawk, i wouldget irritated when ppl would call it a T/A......just my.02

I wish i had an SS, but i knew a guy at purdue that had one. He alwasy got the question "does that have a cold air intake on it?" He would just laught at them and tell them it's a ram air. They would always suggest he get a cold air kit. He would laugh even harder at them then. Then he would try to explain ram air to them, but they would never understand. It all started afer Fast and Furious came out!
