It has happened once while I was waiting at the barber shop. The barber calls me up "Alright green Mustang, you're up"

I'm not gonna lie though. Sometimes when I do a quick glance at the side profile of the Camaro I can mistake it for a Challenger.

I bet it happens more than we think. We're all car nuts here on the forum and most know more than just Camaros. However, majority don't know anything about different brands and vehicles.

Just 2 days ago I was on my way home from work stopped at a red light top down radio loud as always. I heard someone say something, turned down the radio and asked what??? The guy proceeded to say that's the sickest 5.0 I've ever seen, I responded its a 6.2 then he says oh that's the new Mustang. I told him NO it's a Camaro, light turned green and away I went. WOW is all I could say.

I stopped by the credit union a couple of weeks ago and they were doing some type of promotion out front so there were 6 or 7 women standing out front around a table. I took care of business inside and when I was walking out to get in the car one of the women told me that they all had been talking and they all agreed I had the most beautiful and unique mustang they had ever seen.

Do they also mistake your Harley's for Honda's?

I was picking up pizza for the family last week and the girl at the window wrote down "blue mustang" on the ticket when she was looking right out the window at the chrome Camaro letters on the fender.

I assume it was not a Camaro club member...or I hope so anyway.

I guess the large black printed "Mustang" on the back of the Mustang didn't give it away either. LOL!!!

I was in a car show standing next to my car when this older, rather large lady comes up to me and says, "Woooow, that's a nice Must- is that a Mustang? What is this thang?" I smiled and said, "It's a Camaro." She goes, "Oh, it look like a Mustang though don't it?" My smile vanished and I go, "No. No, it doesn't." The car guys I had just spoked to were chuckling. That's the only experience I've had with it being mistaken for a Mustang though.

My and my Harley-snob buddy took a ride to his girlfriends house. I was on my big ol' Kawasaki Mean Streak cruiser. We pull up and get off our bikes. She comes running up to my bike and says to him excited, "Oh my God, did you get a new bike!!!!!!!!!" He was so pissed. After she left I caught him skaking his head. I just said, "dude, they don't know." Same applied here - they don't know. Most of them anyway. Of course the ones that do are ten times sexier than the ones that don't.

This other time I was on the Mean Streak outside the supermarket. It's a Kawasaki Vulcan Mean Streak so the tank badge has a "V" on it. I see cutiepie loading groceries while on her phone on my way in. I was happy to see her still there when I came out. While loading the bike up I hear, "Nice Victory." I turn to cutie and say, "Thanks," think for a second then say, "Did you look up 'motorcycles that begin with V' on your phone?" Tentatively she goes, "Yeaaaah." I go, "and you got 'Victory' huh?" "Yeaaah." "This is a Kawasaki Vulcan, not a Victory." All turned off she goes, "oh." Then I thought, 'wait, I'm single, why was I just such a d-bag to that girl.' LOL!!! Still, ya gotta love the ones that try. Or you should anyway.

Back when I had a Mustang, I had a girlfriend who couldn't tell the difference between an Escort and a Stang. Clearly not a car person.
