I got a compliment yesterday and I quote, "Thats a bad motherf*cker"

Shadow Camaro · 03-17-2012, 11:11 AM

Pulled up to the dollar store by my house and went inside. Lady at the register says "thanks for bringing me my mustang!" I then say "it's actually a camaro..." and then I go get the stuff i need. I go to check out and another lady comes up and says "hey letme have your mustang." the first lady from before then says "it's a camaro actually." lmao. I was like cool your so smart...

So you are gonna say they don't look very similar? If that's the case you would be wrong. The side profile of each car from a distance is very similar. Almost like ford has no imagination....

But don't get me wrong, I know my cars and I'm good at tellin them apart just by a quick glance at their headlights in the dark. Don't ask why I'm good at that but I just am. I'm a car person and I know they look similar for various reasons, mostly vague resemblances, but they do like similar for a reason. Because they are competing for the same market niche.

I get it. In my early 5th gen days, I would make the same mistake. Not anymore of course, but I certainly understand how the casual observer would make that mistake.

I guess to people who know nothing about cars, they just have no idea lol

just accept the fact that it was complemented, apparently not car enthusiasts.

cplhester · 03-19-2012, 10:35 AM

I've had people think my SS was a vette but in a way I took that as a compliment lol.
