its glare from the sun...... it doesnt have much paint on it now though...[>:]

 

For me, the dumbest questions I've gotten were, "What's it got in it?" when there's a 302 badge on the front fender and, "Is it for sale?"... Dorks

 

"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 ...

 

I had a guy ask if it had a 460 in it when he looked at the 4.6 badge.

 

Maybe he was from Canada. 460 deciliters would be correct.

 

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!!!

 

sitting at a stop light with my wife driving....young man and his girl in lowered tricked out civic pulls up...revs the hell out of the ricer and then asked when i was going to fix that "miss" in the motor that is makin' the car giggle!!!! my wife left him with his mouth hanging open in lots of rubber tainted smoke.....laughed so hard i almost wet myself....................

 

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.
