Dumbest thing an "EXPERT" has said about your ride?

Hey, now. I drive a Rio 100+ miles a day to/from work. This is my other car.

Im sorry to say, we now have to ban you!

 

I had a 1960 falcon and put GT emblems on it as a joke.Guy walks up and says you don`t see many 1960 GT falcons.

 

I can see your points, if a guy (or girl) is interested and makes a few mistakes about your car, just set 'em straight and you may have gained a little mutual respect for each other, you about your ride and them meeting someone willing to take the time.. BUT! There be knobs out there who won't listen and just cannot believe that anyone knows more about anything then they do....
...just let 'em be stoopid all by themselves, like someone else said here... "They already know they're stupid, just let them prove it", (their girl already knows it, and likely anyone within earshot does too...) be polite and quiet, and you've done your job! And then you can come here and crap on 'em amongst friends!

 

RIO???.wtf...I thought it was REO.now thats a mans car!

 

At a car show, a woman observed my reproduction window sticker on my 1963 Pontiac Catalina 421 HO and told her husband,

"Look Honey! This car is for sale for only $3245."

 

LOL!! Now that's a good one.

 

He was probably gay, and feeling it. Actually, putting Chevys in MOPARS is worse than being gay.

 

"What kind of car is that?"
An Edsel.
"No, it's not."







I'll bet that thing is great in the Sand Dunes.
Huh?
It seems loud for a Volkswagen, did you do something to it?

 

My son's '27 belly-panned, racecar-nosed black '27 Roadster is still SBC powered, but he is a Ford guy. He painted his SBC engine dark blue (it has 2 AFBs, Cal Custom v/c's, MSD, lotsa chrome) and this old fart my age walks up and tells my 10 yr. old grandson Jake how nice it is to see a Ford in there. Jake says, "Sir, it's a Chevy". The guy says, "Fords are blue, Chevys are orange. It's a Ford..." Jake said at his age, he should known better. Much laughter...

 

I love to fuck with 442 people and tell em I have the same car, only it's a 2-2-1!

"What, they never made an Olds 2-2-1"

"Sure they did- 2 barrell, 2 speed, single exhaust!"

I usually think it's funnier then they do

 

It was funny as hell yesterday. i was working on the 53' and and a guy walks up and asks, "Hey, what year is that chevy?" i tell him its a cadillac and he looks blank. he says "no thats a chevy, the trunk 'V' means its a chevy." i tell him again, sir its a 53 cadillac fleetwood. to which he responds with this bomb, "Well how hard was it to make it a cadillac from a chevy?"

 

my favorite one, was right after i got my purple model a coupe done i was at a gas station in downtown Mulvane Kansas, old farmer pulls up in a beat up old pickup, keeps starring at the couple so i ask "what do you think?" his reply, "Looks like you really F%&*^%-up a good model A!

 

Now THAT's funny!

 

now that's funny right there!!!!!

 

I have gotten many "Ya ruint that car by putting a small block chevy init! It should have a 389 poncho!" comments (or variations of) when driving my old 57' Pontiac Laurentian in the US. Its an original 283 powered canadian car.

 

I always try to be friendly and answer all Questions honestly. But you do run into the know it alls that will not allow you to be right, must mean they feel you would be making them inferior to yourself. All you are trying to do is have a conversation and they want an argument. (WTF).
One guy...Thats a chevy right
Me......Nope
one guy....then its a ford right
Me......Nope
One guy...Gotta be an International then (sounding really pissed off)
Me....Nope (smiling)...lotsa people have the same problem...no emblems or names on the truck
One Guy... really pissed off...STUDEBAKER....yelling.
Me thinking to myslf a$$hat...Its the first Toyota they ever made..The guy bought it and walked away...blew me away
Its a 1947 Dodge.
Gotta say I have met lotsa great people that are nice to you..I treat people as they treat me...sometimes better I hope...

 

I had a guy ask me one day while looking at my '40 Ford with a small block chevy motor, "how many cams does this thing have"? I answered four and he said "boy it must be powerful"!!!!! I agreed.

 

Father in law talking about his neighbors vette "that thing is all metal... no plastic in it anywhere!" ... '78 Corvette

Passer by commenting to his wife as he read the script "Corv... I've never seen a rear engine corvette... must be pretty rare".... '64 Corvair convert.

That's pretty funny. It reminds me of the time I had my mild kustom '56 Mercury at the local car show. An older gentlemen walks up and tells his buddy how nice my Cadillac is. Since I'm standing right next to him, I tell him thanks, but it's a '56 Mercury. He looks at me "I know what a god-dammed Cadillac looks like and this is a Cadillac!". I point to the "Mercury" lettering on the bumper and walk away......I still don't think he got it. He probably spent the next 5 minutes wondering how I managed to fit the Mercury bumper on a '56 Cadillac.

 

Some stupid shit I have heard over the years:

"I had one just like it, only it was red and it was a rambler"
"I wouldn't have done that."
"That will be cool when its done"
"That's not original!"

I just remember they cannot help it...I've been told they are born that way!

 

Does it run? No, I flew here...dipshit!

 

"Does your '50 Mercury have one of them rumble seats?"

 

i'm at work and we have someone call.
the guy-"hey, who owns that old chevy pickup out there?"
me-"oh, that ole blue pickup with the wood tailgate?"
the guy-"yeah, that chevy."
me-"that's my ole pickup."
the guy-"that's one nice truck man."
me-"yeah but i'd hate to say it but it's a ford sir."
the guy- CLICK!

i just started crackin up laughin after that one!
can't believe it but never got mad at him.


here's the tailgate.

 

My '48 plym had a Ford Blue Olds 455 in it when bought. I had a problem out on the road & turned into a gas station. The mechanic walked out & I said I needed a _____. He looked at the engine & said A ___ for a big ford. He got half way back to the building when the light bulb turned on & he walked back to read "Oldsmobile" on the intake.

 

I have a 64 cad with a 429. A guy at the parts store tells me he had a rare shelby 429 cadillac but he opted to replace it because he was tired of adjusting the rockers and I should consider doing the same.

 

(At the time we were standing in front of my buddy's '30 roadster.)

...some guy walks up and says, "Sweeeet!" and asks "What year is your Deuce-Coupe?"

 

Where are the valve covers?

 

I know you are talking "tongue in cheek" about your chopped car but people WERE shorter back than, try to find WWII military uniforms in larger sizes. The average height of USA men increased from 5" 7" from around that period to 5' 10" now. Better diet and health care made the difference. Even today countries with better food supplies and health care tend to have a significant difference in height for example in South Korea average male height is almost 5' 9" while North Korea average male height is just over 5' 5".

 

Last year was my first time at Lone star round up Im heading to congress and most of the off ramps for I 35 are closed. It was black Olympics or something that wk end as well. Idiots in their donk cars had their buddies dancing on hoods and roofs while we are stuck in traffic. I just wanted to turn up Hank Williams 3! Some girl riding shot gun in a suburban with 20" wheels asked me what year my mustang was? LOL A 63 chevy 4door Bel-air!!!!
