Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

The question I am asked the most is; Are you going to keep it that color? The car is Purple Haze and I always answer, damn right I am! What's wrong with the color?

People always read mine backwards and ask "Your car can only do 75 mph?" Then I explain to them how dumb they are and that according to the review of the car it can do 149.2 mph even though it is a 145 mph speedometer.

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

My favorites:

1. What kind of car is that????? a corvette? a home-made car? even a Ferrari???

2. How much do you spend to fill the tank???

3. Is that the car from the "Dukes of Hazzard" - but a red one?

It must be a very stand out car in Colombia. The farthest south I have been is Belize and I didn't see anything close to a thirdgen.

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

today i was at Bass Pro Shops outlet . as i parked a younger man gave me a compliment on my car . asked if i wanted to sell , i replied NO of course . he asked why an older person like myself did not drive a more comfortable car ? my reply "at my age i can't find any 20 yr. old girls to play with so i have a 20 yr. old car to play with" . we both got a good laugh . my 2nd wife said to me that i may get older but i will never grow up . oh well , just my own experince . cheers & good luck .

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

Besides the usual "what year is it" I had a guy at Dragway 42 ask me if my car had the 305 in it. I was left contemplating if he had just missed the door decals or if I need more speed mods..

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

I've gotten the "nice IROC" and then I tell them thanks, but it's not an IROC. I'm proud to drive a hardtop RS.

I've gotten the "wow, that car looks great for it's age!" many times at a gas station, and then they see the black interior and usually comment on that next.

and I've also recieved the "yo lil' man, wutchu wan 4 dat whip" one many an unfortunate times.. especially when I drive with my friends and their Monte Carlo's (I want one).

Yeah.. I don't ever respond to the last one, especially when called "lil' man". I'm 5'8" for God's sake.. I'm no goliath, but I'm not a midget either. -_-

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

Basically all I've ever been asked is what engine it's got. I just reply with "originally a 305 car, running an early 350 Chevy small block".

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

I've been driven to post "not for sale" on my car. I get it all the time but the last guy pushed me over the edge, he offered me $500 for my parts car. I park in the same spot (give or take a foot) all the time so he thought its been sitting. Guess I have to start backing in.

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

Most people ask:

"Is that a disco ball in your car"?......Yup

"What's that thing on top of your motor"?.....the TPI unit

"Is it fast"?......no, it's slow and I'm old.

Re: Whats the first thing you get asked about your third gen?

Got a few new ones.

''Dammm'' - Brother of a buddy of mine.
''So you turning it to a race car? Give me the tittle back'' - Father (Hes joking lol)
''At this point I would ask but probably too much to understand'' - Neighbor
''So you gonna sell it to me with a newer engine too?'' - Neighbor


I have reached the point where everyone thinks I am crazy and the car will probably never be finished unless more money is dumped into it. My parents mainly they find me replacing the engine useless and stupid since it was a good running engine. It will all change when it fires up and I let my father ride shotgun in the first test drive. Then of course telling him he can't drive it until the insurance is filed
