I'd blame that on the edumacational system we have in this country.

'I'd hate to pay to fill your tank.'

Then I tell them that my V6 gets 30 MPG on the highway and their jaw drops.

A young man I work with complimented me on how cool it is that I take my mustang to car shows and all... When I pointed out that it was a Camaro he says "oh, they all look alike, sorry!".
I thought "I must be talking to a rather mannishly tall girl".

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."

No dumb comments yet....but some good ones. Like today:

A great comment was said to me by a woman just staring at my car as I was grabbing a few things to take into an office.

"If it came down to the Mustang or the Camaro, I would choose the Camaro. It is a beautiful car."

I thanked her and went on my way.

Was driving my CRT ZL1 today when a guy driving a grey challenger complemented me on my "beautiful burnin red mustang." I thanked him and pulled away.

Light turns green, he pulls off and it turns out... he's driving a Chevy
Why the face palm? maybe the car was a work car?

To which I replied, "It's built in Canada."

"Yeah well. It was designed in America."

"It was designed in Australia."

"Well the money goes to an American company."
The body style was designed by an American of Korean heritage. It was engineered in Australia.
