I can remember asking for parts for a 1970 Chevy 400 small block and the counter monkey getting quite confused by the request! He said they didn't make such an animal...yet the casting date on this one was late 69. He kept insisting it was a Big Block. Another time at the same place, there were two kids asking how to make their 305 Camaro sound like a big block. I told them "Do an engine swap".

So i got to the parts store today for some head gaskets, I tell them i need fel-pro 1003 head gaskets, so then she asks, what vehicle...at this point i figure i'll play your game...i tell her 84 chevy monte carlo ss, she ask what engine, i say 6.3liter 388, so she stares at the computer for a minute or 2, then asks me again i tell her the same, then she calls the manager over... he asks me the same sh*t again so i tell him, after he brings me some stock 305 head gaskets, i ask hem can i see your head gaskets, sure enough there's fel-pro 1003 hanging on the damn wall. Dumbasses!

Believe it or not, my car got called a 1979 Monte Carlo at a car show by a guy who owned a 1969 Pontiac Tempest.

Kids in town call my car a "Monte" alot.

And another kid at skool who drives a 1978 Buick Skylark, said, What year is your cutlass. Of course he doesn't know about any other car but his, and even then all he knows is a 383 is considered a "good engine".

Is it wrong that when I encounter the automotively ignorant, and they try to act like they actually know something I don't, that I wish to smite them with furious anger??!
