Being nightfall gray doesn’t hurt either

most people just don’t know what it is, unless they’re car guys,
But they’re sure interested in it.

Mustang, a few times.

Mustang.. especially since I've completely de-badged it except for the Chevy logo in the back.

I know what I'm working on isn't liked by most purists & most here, but those of you tired of stupid comments by car ignorant people should appreciate just how bad I confuse the living hell out of those people.
Hate it all yall want to, at least it doesn't get mistaken for a FO MO Co product.
Does get mistaken for a corvette at night , not sure why?????

Greetings from the mainland, everyone is great!

Very ready for summer, Winter is easing up and have had a few nicer days, and taken a few trips out to dinner with Jane, you know, the hour drives for dinner

FYI, no ticket yet

Be well and enjoy the view from your office

Nobody has mistaken my car for something else yet but multiple people have quite seriously asked why there's a french flag on the fender, or they've asked if its french.

JCunningham · 04-09-2019, 02:55 AM

this is what you get when there is no advertising. The only thing i get is nice car. When I had my 5th gen I did have one guy say I was a liar when I told him it was a V8. he asked why I didnt get a mustang with v8. told me i was a liar because he said the Camaro only comes with a v6.

To lazy to find the thread, but a member on here had their car mistaken for a Mustang, and they said the interaction went like this:

Random guy "Dude, nice Mustang!"
Forum member "Thanks madam."
Random guy "Uhm.. I'm a guy."
Forum member "And that's a Camaro, now we're even."

Thought that was a pretty funny way to handle it.

People usually say, "nice bumble bee car" "is that a Corvette" or "love the Camaro", occasionally I've gotten "nice mustang" and at a kid's charity car wash the other day some little kids said "we get to wash a Lamborghini", pretty sure the mom's had no clue what it was but liked the cool sports car lol.

I'm impressed at the few people who know is actually an SS 1le. Usually they are hardcore car guys.

Worst one imaginable(in my 5th gen)....”I like your mustang!”.....IT SAYS CAMARO ON THE FKN SIDE! THERES A BOWTIE NOT A DAMN HORSE!

I know this is off topic but after seeing the pictures of your ride it reminded me of the one that Chip Foose did.. Here a few shots

My 5 year old grandson calls red SS vert a race car until the top moves and then it's the Batmobile.

THE VERY BEST WAS when my 3 year old grand daughter saw it for the first time
"I love it! I'm ready to go to the PARTY!!!"
