Default Billy Derelict and the Stupid Questions

Ah the questions. From the is it real (the snub you when its not and get into their real Neon) to the know-it-alls.

I have had people ask me if it is a Miata, Mustang and Corvette. I had a know-it-all insist it was real, another insist that they only came with 427 and 289 and that there was only one type of 427. 'What is it' I have heard more than a few times. How much did you pay? Thinking that the Cobra was named after the Mustang. Thinking that since it is a 'kit' car it sits on a VW chassis. Where does the top fold into (IE where is the POWER top). Where is the grill. Man that is a small radiator (my oil cooler). Do those pipes get hot? Small trunk, where is the spare(maybe not so dumb!). Is that safe?

The list goes on. Some questions are not so bad. Curious, want to learn. Others are down right stupid. The one previously posted where a complete stranger said 'Can I drive it'. Man that takes a big pair!
