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

I have a 1970 pop-open gas cap on my '66 fastback. I added a Cobra emblem to it just to be a bit different. So it's understandable that folks ask "is that a real '66 Cobra." But when I answer that there's no such animal as a 1966 Cobra Mustang, most don't believe me. I get the "you don't know what you've got" expression...

I took my car to work today, i don't generally as my cycle and my car is 5miles from my house, somebody saw the pony and asked if it was a Ferrari, i surpose it has a horsie!!! If I could afford a 65 Ferrari I doubt I would need to work!!! I surpose as they are much rarer here in the netherlands than the US

Well, it was a running joke, but when I used to work as an auto parts counter man, we would have the customers call and order muffler bearings from the new guys. We would all **** laughing when the new guy would try to find them in the parts catalogs and my boss would tell him it was time he knew how to locate this stuff on his own. Sometimes calling parts warehouses etc. The funny thing is that everyone knew it was a joke and would string the guy along telling teh guy that they are obsolet and they would have to have the originals rebuilt. He would then call the cusotme back to tell him. Sometimes the customer would bitch and moan tekking the guy he just got them for another car last week from another source. Sometimes the gag ran for days...

Well, this was not a question but it falls under the "ate up with the dumb ***" catagory. I was looking for new wheels several months ago at a local tire store. The guy asked me the lug pattern which led to his expertise with the 4 and 5 lug differences. He told me that the 5 lugs were the V8 cars and the 4 lug wher the 6 cyl and 4 cyl cars. He then was telling me about a rare 69 Mustang Ford built with a 4 cylinder engine. They were worth their weight in gold. Very rare. They built them because of the gas shortages in the late 60's. What gas shortages in the 60's???? I remember them in the 70's and I also remember this guy was a dumb ***.

Right after I got married my wife went to Valvoline for an oil change in her Toyota Echo. I told her to tell the service guy to make sure the blinker fluid was filled up. I wish I had a picture of the look on her face when she got home that day. Priceless......and I had to make dinner.
When clueless people ask what you have done to it I use to say............It's got a rubber bouncing cam, fuel injected brake lines, polished muffler bearings, and the reason why it idles rough is because I only run on 5 cylinders to get better gas mileage.
