I always grin when a young child walks up to me to ask what my car is called,and then yells back to their parents,&quot;It's called a Chevelle&quot;.
Are we really that old? </div></div>

I overheard one kid pronounce it like &quot;Shev-uh-lay&quot; with the Spanish double L making a Y sound.

I guess that is how the modern generation spells Chevrolet. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Had a woman walk up to my car and proclaim she bought a new 1968 SS chevelle with the same working flapper cowl ind. hood.
I told her that was impossible.
She told me not to tell her what she knows &amp; was the fact that she's a woman have something to do with me not believing her?
I told her that year Chevelle couldn't get that hood till 1970,but she was adamant and said I was wrong.
Kept standing there like I was a male chauvinist pig.
Told me next week she would bring me photos of the car,along with some dealership paper showing such.
This was 2 years ago,and I haven't seen her since and I'm there every week.

I like the experts that know everything there is to know about your particular car.. &quot;Hey they never made an SS with an automatic on the column&quot;... &quot;Yeah your right, Gee you got me I was trying to pull off a fake here&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I have a 1967 fastback Mustang that has some rough paint at the bottom of the A pillars. It's a driver so I don't really care. The last 2 cruise nights I've had it at, people have picked or have tried to pick the paint off with their fingernails. Who does that? Seriously?

...or when it is a 'Survivor' / 'Driver' car and the comment is, &quot;that will look good when you are finished restoring it.&quot;

People like you who move other people's cones who have reserved a spot for their buddies. It's matter of handling another person's personal property, which you stated you have no problem with, so why complain about someone touching your car?????

Yeah Matt,

You could damage the cone!

Any kind of big car show where I live is pretty rare so for the most part they're all fairly small gatherings. There really isn't a problem with saving a space or two for someone coming later because there is usually a ton of spots to park even if you come late. The problem I have personally run into is the smug, cocky types with the high dollar resto's and such that act like you shouldn't even be there. One guy came up to me and my family one show and had the nerve to say &quot;What are YOU doing with a Z28?&quot; Like I shouldn't own one. I'm just an average, factory worker, machine operator that sometimes can't even rub two pennies together, but I do have a 69 Z28 that is unrestored and is a nice driver. I just looked at him and his buddies and laughed. It really amazes me that there are a lot of people with nice cars with really shitty attitudes. It should be a requirement to have a good attitude if you bring a car to a show. I haven't gone to a show in a lot of years, too much drama for me.
