RE: Dumbest Mustang Question Thread
"What kind of engine does it have?" (I refrained from saying 'one that goes vroom vroom') I tell him 200 ci. He looks confused, looks at the car, then asked "how many horsepower?" so I tell him 120. "Oh, it's not a muscle car".
Several times I've been asked "Is that a Mustang".
Then there was the guy who asked about my car and told me a long story about his son buying a 1964 Firebird and how he had it for 30 years ...

Had the 67 coupe inspected last year by a relatively young guy. It passed inspection but the inspector told me afterwards that I needed to check out the electrical system because "every time I put on the emergency brake the wipers came on." My son had to show him the difference between the emergency hand brake and the windshield washer pedal...live and learn!!!

Oh yeah, when I first got the car back (from restoration) I'd been told to use a specific brand of gas as the octane was a little higher (I've since learned it doesn't matter).
So, I pull in and the kid says "where does the gas go?". Next 2 times I go in, the kids ask "does the gas go in the back?"
I always see classics there, including 3 Shelbys, but they are always at the self-serve pump and I go to the full-serve pump, so guess these kids don't get a lot of opportunity to pump gas into a classic.

I think Todd was referring to his car, and that's a question that he's been asked.
