Why bother if you don't have a clue?

sounds like one of those crazies off the corner that puts an empty hand to their ear and acts like they're on their mobile phones... They always know everything about EVERYTHING ...40 years ago LMAO

Was it Biff Tannen?!?!?!



Seriously though how old was the guy? I am guessing he had to be in his late 60s or 70s

Im always totally cool and never a dick. If theyre genuine and take time to inquire about the car I always accommodate. Im not a Ferrari owner and I wont act like one.

He looked to be in his mid-thirties. That made the carburetor question strange. Seemed like a normal guy, apparently worked as an electrician judging by the truck that he left in. Maybe he just wasn't a gearhead, but he recognized a good-looking car.

I used to go to the big shows up here. 95% in general public were arrogant to anyone asking about their car. There are some good ones true. I think with the Camaro there is a line between those who Bleed Camaro and those that bought it for other reasons. I dunno I just have no tolerance for douchy people. What do you have? My favorite handsdown will always be the 512TR not the Testarossa because The knock off hubs are the worst lol. The only issue with the TR is the F.I. system because nothing really sounds as sweet as a carbed flat 12 like in the old BB's at wide open throttle.

I agree with you that most of foreign car lovers are snobs about their cars. My cousin is a huuuuuuuge Japanese car lover, so is the rest of my family. They weren't surprised with my choice to go American, because of my Camaro love and the fact that I never ever have been influenced by my family's opinion on anything.

But they think moving to the south has corrupted my brain

I also can't wait to burn his ass in my LT1

1. What do they have in them these days, 2-barrel or 4-barrel?
2. What kind of engine, 305 or 350?
3. Did you get the automatic? No? So you got the 4-speed?

I've heard all kinds of questions over the past 5 months, but these were the most ill-informed. Why ask a stranger about his car if you've been living under a rock for the past 20 years? Just my rant...

Man Whataburger is the bomb

Damn skippy, it is. Whataburger on wheat with jalapenos, just over 500 calories.

Maybe he had just watched Transformers.

"You've got a high-rise and a double-pump carburetor...." while looking down at the fuel injection. Of course if they looked like Megan Fox you probably wouldn't mind.

No prancing horses in the garage right now, the only thing remotely exotic is a Viper RT/10. I've got a few cars on my list, but can't decide which one is the way to go; Aston Martin DB9, F430 or a Gallardo. I'm worried that people will think I'm a douche in the Ferrari or Lambo. The Aston is awesome, yet it's a lot more subtle. But before any of those I better take care of my dental school loans, lol.
