Cop asked me this one:

"How fast have you gotten it up to?


"What did you pay, around 50-60k for that car?"
The irony being, of course, that you could tell these people (granted mostly benevolent and products of sketchy genetics) anything. The only thing limiting you would be your imagination. (stickers/badges help)

The dumbest thing I've heard yet occurred at a car show this week. This guy comes up to me and asks if this is a new Camaro. After I answer yes it is he asks: When does it go into production? I couldn't resist....Yeah GM called me up and asked if I wanted to drive this concept!

What's the dumbest thing someone's said to you concerning your 2010?

Well, since I won't have one for a few years and it won't be as attention-grabbing in that time, I figure I'd ask those of you who own one and know this kind of stuff first-hand.

There was some guy that works there and he goes "oh do you work at that salon?" and i said "well i actually own it" and he said "who's pretty camaro is that" and i said "mine" and he said "really, there was a black one just like it parked out front last week."


Filling up a 15.5 gallon tank in So Cal- $41.25. Buying a new LS1 Camaro: $23,000. Laughing at this- Priceless.

4th of July weekend. We're leaving the local fireworks display. I notice in the mirror a man comes running down the sidewalk from probably about 50 yards, sticks his head in the passenger window and asks.... "Is this one of them new CAAMEERA's? Hey, is it a V6 or a V8?" I told him.... "It's actually 2 Ecotech 4 cylinders. I can flip this switch and it turns one of them off." ( I reached under the dash and flipped an imaginary swith.) "Did you hear the difference?" With a very confident look on his face, the man says... " You know, I read about that in a magazine. "

I had some idiot come up to me last night.

idiot "Why did you only get the SS?"
Me "What?"
Id "Why didn't you get a Z-28?"
Me "Cause they don't make em yet."
Id "Yeah they do, down in the states and if you know the right person."
Me "Well, first off, they only make Camaros in Canada, and the Z28 isn't out until 2012, MAYBE"
Id "No there is a Z28 in the States, but you can't import it to Canada because we have a law where you can't have more horsepower than cubic inches.That's why there were no new GTOs in Canada"
Me "well this thing makes 426 horsepower from about 376 cubic inches, and the GTO wasn't in Canada because the front bumper didn't meet Canadian Crash standards."

By this time I was pretty aggrivated with him and just wanted him to leave, so I said:

"Now if you are done with your bullshit stories, can you please get the f*&k out of here?"

Theoretically he's right, if you threw a LS7 in your car you could call it a Z28.

Someone bought a new Camaro and chose to drive his old vette home and let you drive the brand new car? He should have the keys taken away
