Did I say the wrong thing to a Mustang owner? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I was headed home this evening, pulled up on the right side of a Mustang GT (I think it was a 2007 or so...I'm obviously not a big mustang fan).

The lady in the passenger seat is gawking at my car and rolls down her window to say, "Awesome car! I was thinking of buying one".

I was kind of at a loss because I was now obligated to return the compliment...as best I could.

"You're car's decent" I replied, hoping the driver didn't notice what I said

She then asked if I paid 30k for it, lol...Light changed just in time so that I could drive off!

lol so you both got owned?

Forcer · 03-15-2011, 08:19 PM

ibeck · 03-15-2011, 08:19 PM

You said your cars decent, a lot more than what I have to say to some mustang owners haha

No, not really...

PoorMansCamaro · 03-15-2011, 08:58 PM

I wouldn't have gave any kind of compliment. Would have just said "thanks". Lol

Steve Dallas · 03-15-2011, 09:00 PM

The worst (or best, depending on how you look at it) part of this was after she complimented my car, there was a noticable pause while my mind did the "Angel/Devil" argument on how I should answer. I'm pretty certain she could see those guys on my shoulders as I stumbed for an answer...

Angel: Tell her that her car is awesome too! It's good Karma
Devil: Screw that you *****! You need to diss her and her boyfriend driver for even driving that Ford POS! Tell them that It's AWESOME....that it's even running!
Angel: No, no, no...no need to insult the nice lady. Tell her you love the return of the muscle cars, and Ford did a decent job with the Mustang.
Devil: Oh, bite me Angel! It's a freaking FORD. Tell her if she wasn't so dog-faced, she could ride with you, but with looks like that she is pretty much stuck hanging out with Ford drivers! Bwahahaha!
Angel: You can't say that...that's just mean spirited. Snicker. OK...just say it's a decent car...

Just curious scale of 1 to 10. 1 being needs a paper bag and perhaps a forklift to get out the front door, 10 being super hot and all the other good stuff most of like to see in a woman.

The tension between 'Stang and Camaro owners is almost uncanny

Just being in the mustang drops her a few points. Lol

So my theory may hold serve. If she's a 5 in the car because of a 2 point Mustang penalty wouldn't be time to take the Camaro goggles off?

Steve Dallas · 03-15-2011, 09:30 PM

I probably would have rated her a 5 on a scale of 1-10. In order to do her justice, I had to look for a similar picture of her on TheSmokingGun.com's mugshot roundup. It's not exact, and she had more "smokers wrinkles" than the person pictured below...but it's pretty close.

Another picture I had is also in the same 1-10 scale as that previous picture.

Without Mustang Penalty:
