couldnt believe this

thats cute what kind of car is it. good greif. some older woman probably in her late 50's early 60's asked me that question in regards to my 89 camaro. how can you not know what kind of car it is? especailly since it has the camaro logo on the front bumper. i was polite but i couldnt believe people still dont know what a camaro is. a say get off the **** kia's and toyota's and drive a real car at least a v6 camaro, at least once in your life. ohh, and a camaro is not cute. its sharp looking, down right awesome looking, attractive looking, even nice looking, but it is not "cute". a cavalier is "cute" a camaro is not. anyhow i have a freind of mine that just put his 90 RS back on the road. v6, vegas car, 60K something millage. very nice car, except im not really a fan of the v6, i perfer anything that has at least a 305.

Lighten up a'bit, good grief, you even said she was "older" lady. Some people are just not into cars. My mother couldn't even tell you about what brand of car most cars are, much less the model (or the logo), if you were to ask her. And my step dad is a mechanic, for 40 years, and has cars at the house all the time.

Cars are not everyones interest.

If you're getting offended becuase people don't know/care about cars, then it sounds like you're taking it waaay too seriously. Maybe even compensating?

That's funny, the other day, my girlfriend had a garage sale at our house, and some old lady saw my car sitting there and asked if it was "one of those new cars that gets 60 miles per gallon."

And "cute" is a compliment in her eyes.

A grandma isn't gonna say "yo dawg your ride is G'd out".

You think that is bad? Try owning a firebird. Most of the time people say "nice camaro"
