Dumbest car conversations you've had?

What 6-speed; Tremec?

I think so, not chevy guy in knowledge but i think that is it. That 6 gear is so worth it for regular cruising. Mine is tapped out with t5 & angry all the time. We gonna race this year. He got me by 100 hp but i am 900 lbs lighter.

But to answer your original question. For sure I’ve had some pretty strange conversations when it comes to cars. Some not dissimilar to yours. I just can’t think of any right now. But they usually stemmed around how fast their car was from the factory. And like this Nova…… Way faster than any stock factory machine tested by numerous magazines.

I‘m actually surprised I’m mostly upright as my eyes are pleading with me to go to bed.

That's OK, I've had more than a few too lol...

Just a glass of wine with pizza. Had more to do with mowing 1/2-3/4 acre of grass…. Which by the way is a young guys sport…. And I haven’t qualified as young for several decades now.

More like a Quadrajet 4 barrel i would suppose.

The Carter AFBs sounded great when those secondaries opened! Back in the day my favorite carb was the Holley double pumper with center pivot float bowls. Now a days for me it's all about injected and boosted AWD.

My first car, that I got when I was 17 (1987).
It matches my Stratocaster.

Unfortunately I don’t have it any more.

I crammed a 302 with 351 Windsor heads under the hood (that took some doing!), and a Carter 625 AFB carb. It wasn’t the fastest car in town, but I scared a lot of Camaros with it.

It used to irritate the crap out of me when people would slap the hood or the fender and say, “I had me one of these back in the day!”

One guy did that and kept caressing the rear quarter panel until I finally asked him, “Hey, do you mind if I slap and caress your wife’s ___? Cuz that’s the way I feel about you touching my car!”

He got mad.
His wife laughed…I think she was game.
But, he quit touching my car, so there’s that.

An elderly lady once looked at my 1970 Ford Mustang and asked “Does it have one of them straight V8’s in it”. I just said “sure” and smiled.
