Corvette?

Went out to dinner tonight, got out of my car and an older gentleman and his wife were making a beeline to me.

"Is that the new Corvette?"

On a good note, they really loved the car...so at least they have good taste!

At least they had the correct manufacturer....we'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were just sooooo excited to see your car, they had a brain fart.

Or worse.....the new Mustang!

Disclaimer: The poster of this reply is not in any way knocking the Mustang. there has just been a tendency for people to think that the new Camaro is the new Mustang, when clearly it is not. So if anyone was planning on going off on how all Camaro owners hate Mustangs/all threads on Camaro5 turn into Mustang bashing, etc etc etc.....don't. Just don't.

Grrrrr That happened to me on Halloween. I was handing out candy and a young boy said "Hey I like your Mustang!" I replied "Thank you, and it's a Camaro." Oh well at least they were complimenting it.

I had an old guy take my 1 SS to the drag strip. The old guy has owned 4 Camaros. The old guy also rides motorcycles and the old guy has been into cars and motorcycles for almost fifty years. The old guy is me.

Many people also mistake my '67 RS for a mustang.....body lines are not even that similar....
