He was dead serious. His said his car had a 'built' 455 and about 500hp.
It looked and sounded like a greasy worn-out stocker with Ford blue on everything including the grease.

HAHAHAHA

I wouldn't exactly call the questioner a "car guy," but once when I was filling up my Grandville at the local gas station, a ricer driver about 19 was looking at the car and asked me "old dude, did they like stretch that car like a limousine?"

I just smiled.

Don't feel bad mine has been called an "aircraft carrier" by a Hyundai sales idiot.

I was out trick or treating with my younger kids last year and some lady commented "Oh,how cute,you took the grandkids trick or treating!"
My wife started cracking up.

[lfdsteve]

I don't suppose any of these "dumb" people happened to mention where the blue vacuume line from the de-ice door acutator goes on a 71 firebird with AC?
ie which port number on the back of the control head?

I told a Miata driver once to drive her car into my trunk and I'd ditch my spare tire.

Yep. Kids. Can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.

Consider the alternative.

Autozone.....I went recently looking for a part for my '93 eldo...after several minutes the dipstick asks " who makes that truck?". I respond it's a Cadillac, more waiting, he says "who makes that truck again?"

Are Tow truck operators’ car people?
The dumb f@#% tow truck operator that came to pick up the goat yesterday to take her BACK to the body shop (so they can re-paint the cowl the proper black instead of the Lucerne blue they painted it, and hang the doors) shows up and backs into the driveway and gets out, I opened the garage to reveal the GTO all shiny and half way built with no response from the Bozo. He stood there and watched me struggle to push the car out of the garage while steering at the same time. I inched the car to the edge of the tilted bed and he swings these huge metal hooks onto the flatbed like a sack of potatoes. I explained to him that we didn’t want any scratches on the finishes we have worked so hard to achieve. He says, "I don’t got nothing to protect it." So I run into the garage to get some rags or something, I come back out and he already has both hooks on the front lower control arms, I make him undue them and insert rags which must have pissed him off, he winched it onto the flatbed and he throws the rear hook around the rear axle housing almost smashing the new in-line tube brake line, stuffs the chain into the bed hole and pulls the winch tight, stretching the car from a$$ hole to elbows. Then, without looking, he levels out the bed and stuffs the top of the car into the pine tree he was parked next to and jumps into his truck. I run to the driver’s window and let him know the car is in the tree and to carefully pull out to the left, he gives me a dirty look and blasts down the driveway while my 19 year old daughter was grabbing at branches to keep them off the new paint. My daughter and I jump into my car and proceed to follow him the whole way to the body shop. The way this guy drove with our baby on the back of flatbed, you would have thought he had a 1976 Pinto on there. What an ass-hat! I was fuming when we got to the body shop and I let my body shop guy know how I felt about the whole situation and how lucky they all were that there was no damage. (They arranged this ass-hat) How can you not be pissed off in this kind of situation?

With so much at stake I think that I would send him back empty and then proceed to call the body shop to send someone more responsible.

yea I would have done the same, JEEZ

I had a tow truck driver bend the lip on one of my rims on the Trans Am, I had a flat and the lug nut wrench rounded off so I had to wait, well the tire blew out so it was the bare rim, I heard a THUNK turn around and the rim was on the floor

[goatman65]

At a show today i park two cars over from a nice 66 GTO that i have seen a few times.

After awhile the owner comes over and is looking at my engine and asks what size engine,i tell him its a 467,a 400 that is bored and stroked.
He then says ''oh,its a chevy 400?''

is a goat and chicken farmer real people?
the answer to both those questions are yes of course they are
but the problem lies in having the body shop supply the towing company as they use the lowest priced company they can find so they can usually bump up the towing charges and make a dollar on that also.
there are low end towers just like there are low ends in every business.
if a cut rate price is achieved,,along with it comes a cut rate knowledge of the occupation
its just common sense,,,you get what you pay for

[imposter]

I once had a guy comment that mob guys all drove cars like mine and my 75 probably had bodies in the trunk at one time.
For fun, I told the clown the former owners name was Tony Spilotro and I bought it from an FBI auction in Vegas
