I pulled in for gas the other day and a guy comes over and asks me if I got a chevy under the hood. I looked at him and said "I am going to pretend I didn't hear you ask that question." I opened the hood and showed him the small block with the Webers. I should just have pointed to the Powered by Ford emblems on the side.

When some one comes up at a car show whining, "is that a kit car?" Just nod and ask which car did they bring today? (Oh, the 1997 Dodge Caravan over there, what a classic!)

The last show I was at a guy had a 427 Cobra with a big block chevy. He was used to the Ford guys harassing him. As I looked further at the car, he had bright purple lap and shoulder belts, and when he smiled it looked like a burnt out forest fire from all the chewing tobbacco between his teeth. It was then I understood why he had the big block chevy and purple belts.
