So a bud at work wanted to look at my car after work. You know how that goes. Always draws a crowd when someone does that. Out of no where this one guys asks,,,,,,. Is that a Hemi?

Was at a coffee shop with my car and a few buddies. Couple of Mustangs and a srt 8 Challenger. I saw a v6 Camaro already there...the owner comes walking up to us. Hey nice he says. Does the v8 come in awd like the my v6? I said his v6 doesn't have awd. He told me it did and argued for 5 mins straight about it. I finally said maybe you have 1 of 1. It could be a collecter.Once he walked off my Mustang buddy told me I have nerve beaking him about Mustang owners. Haha.

I was leaving work the other day and a guy in the parking lot in his car next to me was like, "Is that a hemi v8 in there?". I laughed. I guess there's a difference when you have a muffler delete.

Hey, that could of been me.

If I'm in my truck and I see a nice camaro, I would say something like that just to see the reaction. I also do the same to the Mustang crowd "..hey, really nice Camaro there!". They get more defensive.

Well, in your defense, it can be hard to tell with Mustangs because they might be up on a curb with front end damage and a couple of bodies underneath them.

Most recent good one "you got a stroker in there?" "it sounds stroked".
me, nope that's just the cam lope you're hearing.
him "oh it sounded like a stroker."
