Default Re: I'VE HAD IT WITH PEOPLE AT CAR CRUISES

I get a kick out of the people who don't recognize the model name of our old cars today.
We all here have Nova,Chevelle,Elcamino,Impala,Corvair etc.in our DNA,but many people today are only somewhat familiar with the names Camaro & Monte Carlo.
And some are speechless when they walk upon an old station wagon for the first time.
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,"It's called a Chevelle".
Are we really that old?

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]
