Some guy asked me if my car was "the new model Mustang" at the gas station awhile back... Someone asked me if I painted my interior red with house paint...Someone asked why I had a raised dent in my hood (I have a '96-'98 Cobra hood with the "power hump") :dontknow:

"Why does the shifter make that loud rattling noise?" "What's that grinding noise in 4th gear?".. Doh! Yay for used cars.

The one I get WAY too often.... "Thats a nice sounding 4.6..... Not too bad for a 4.6.... How do you make your 4.6 sound like that???"
I have a 94 GT and a 95 GT.... no "Modular" action here...

One more, I won't call my dad stupid, but I have TrickFlows stg 1 cam in my car, and I had to give him a ride somewhere.. We were
sitting at a stoplight and he has a concerned look on his face and says "You should really get that idle checked out, it sounds like its running
rough..."

I thought your car was at least a 2004!- Manager at grocery store I worked at 2 years ago, thought my 94 was an 04

5.0L's stock can beat a new 3v mustang-Stupid parts guy at a car dealership saying my car is faster than a 2008 GT when mine was stock

You can't adjust the timing on your car, the computer does that- My automotive teacher when I asked if I could borrow the timing light to advance the timing.

I told a guy I had a Mustang he asked if it was a 4.8 or 5.0 lol. Also a while back when I first got my car my neighbor asked me if it was new.

Honda Prelude driver after I just threw him like 8 cars from a dig:

"Dude is that thing supercharged?"

People always ask weather or not the car is a 5.o or not, it seems that all the guys in New york think that the SN95 Mustang was solely a 5 liter car lol...

I get the "that doesn't have a stock cam in it and run like that", or the "Shit, your car runs like that because of all the lightweight, trick parts you have in it"(right, you mean the bogarts, yeah, every set comes with a one second reduction in et guarantee, that's why they cost so frickin much) lol.
And after beating an mr2(mrnot) with a turbo, he stopped and asked, the vert got a blower on it? Uhm, yes it does, or a very bad power steering pump.

"do you think that Escort could keep up with my Mustang?" (kid in a STOCK 94 GT, im in my 450 hp supercharged 92)
(same car, same kid, with my hood popped) "So do you have any mods other than the turbo?"
"Why does your car have three pedals?"
"Do you know how to drive a clutch?"
"Is the v6 or V8 faster?"
"What does this button do?"
every time someone asks that, they push said button. i always push in the clutch, but dont take my foot off the gas then be like "OMG what did you do?!?" theyll always push it again then keep their hands to themselves the rest of the ride lol
