pontiac camaro...hahaha

i have a 92 camaro...2 things....today i pulled up at a gas station, and the guy inside was lookin at my car. when i got in, he asked year my "firebird" was. i told him it was actually a camaro, but it was a 92. i guess i dont mind too bad when people confuse firebird's and camaros, but i'd think the ground effects would give it away. but oh well, what the hell. also today though, i was lookin in the classifieds in the car section, and some dumba$$ had a "1994 Pontiac Camaro" for sale. that REALLY pissed me off, that the person seeling this car was this naive. i called them to ask about the car, hoping it was a misprint, but they referred to it as a pontiac camaro on the phone, so i guess they were just a moron. oh well, just thought i'd share...

i've never incountered someone like this yet but i'm sure i will sooner or later. but knowing me i would simply call them an idiot and tell them how it is then walk away. but that's just me.

funny you say that but about 6 years or more ago there was a thirdgen driving around there that was really both firebird and camaro.......It was a firebird orig. I bet cause it had the firebird taillights and 1/4 panels but it had a whole camaro front clip,,,fenders and nose??? Im not sure what the doors were But i was thinking they might have to be camaro doors. I was weird to look at.
