Default Dumbest Mustang Question Thread

What's the stupidest question people have asked regarding your Mustang or any part thereof?

Here's mine.
So, I'm selling a stock 9-inch Ford rear end on fleaBay and somebody emails me the question, "Is that a 4-lug or 5-lug axle?" I felt like answering, "It's a 4-lug. Ford put 9-inch rears on only the badass inline 6s."

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 ***.
