I can't say anything other than stupid!!!

My definition of "stupid" is
someone who thinks people get "jealous" of me for owning an old car...
It's a car dude, dosnt make ya any taller, thinner or have more hair!
Sorry but there it is ....

Got my 67 Lemans out last month to go to town to top off with fresh gas at SHELL station. Young woman store clerk and another young woman were quite impressed with my car. I was feeling pretty good until one asked: "Is that a BARRACUDA?" (I graciously explained.)

On the other hand, it seems that many people at car shows readily know that my car is not a GTO but I still get many good compliments.

You are only Ignorant once, if you don't get it after that it's called stupid.
