Someone has said about your Mustang?

Ill start off, I took the stang to work the other day and a guy approaches me saying " I had one of those, original Hemi and 5 speed"

I didn't wanna say a smart remark so I said "cool" and drove off lol.

V-Town Coupe was installing pistons in a sbf in front of his house. A drunk walks by while the motor is turned on its side and said , " Man that's a nice looking 4 cyl you got there... Is it going in that? ( pointing at his 68 cougar ) "

Jeff just played along and said yes and dude went on his way LOL.

Posted by NEIGHT (Member # 8741) on :

Someone asked me at the gas station if that was the sound of my supercharger. Mind you it was my electric fan kicking on after I turned off my car, I played along.

There's a ton over the 20 years of owning stangs but guys at the dealer asking if the 03 supercharger was aftermarket definitely sticks in my head.

Posted by bentley mobs a stang (Member # 11119) on :

A girl was riding with me in my 90 coupe. The stereo was out and u can see a mess of a half way done, home made stereo wiring harness sitting there. She first asks me why I don't have a stereo (i tell her about how I'm rewiring it and she acknowledges that I tell her cuz she asks questions about how i know how to do all that), about 5 mins later she asks me to turn up the music. Lol bitches bruh.

I was in my friends 03 mach and some guy said nice car and asked to see the motor. When he showed him he was like "wow you have a big block in there?" We said no just a 4.6, its actually one of the smallest V8's ford makes. So the guy laughs and says fucking kids don't know anything about cars now days. Haha had me rollin

Posted by LXjames (Member # 10791) on :

Was at a gas station in my first 5.0 which was a hatch. Had some bum ass mid 30's black dude tell me my lx hatch was a "highway" body style sayin "those the ones" "they hot" "what it do" "yea that's that highway edition"

Posted by rollin5ive0 (Member # 8592) on :

i had a kid one time come to my shop in a whooped ass 89, he tells me he just bought the mustang that day, for juug prices (had to have him translate juug=really good deal cause i just wasnt sure what it ment and he was ghetto as hell) but it needed a new tq converter put in and the guy threw in a racing one cause its a fully built motor, so i said id look at it. the first unusual thing i noticed was the 5 speed gear box, i said hey bud did you mean new flywheel or clutch? he goes naw blud, convertor i got right hur. he pops the trunk and what do you know its a convertor painted blue and in yellow stenciled in says "for race application only" i wanted to laugh so bad but i resisted and gathered myself and told him he got took. then i had to actually take him inside and explain to him why that converter is not gonna work in his 5 speed ......poor little ignorant boy, he also said he payed $5700 and the motor was super hot just needed a tune...... i popped the hood and closed it after 30 sec,......it was a bone stock motor with edelbrock painted on the valve covers, and damn near every piece that could be taken off, painted, and all kinds of hideous red and blue wire loom.

Had a guy in a drive thru tell me my engine is making a weird whistling sound and that I should check it out because motors aren't cheap to replace.

Posted by Marks93 (Member # 11130) on :

Had this "know-it-all" ask me, "Hey, that's one of those 195 Mustangs right?". I asked him what he meant by 195. He said, "Those will go 195mph off the showroom flo"!! I told him "it's fast, but not quite that fast". But he just kept insisting that it would. I left him 2 nice rubber marks and seen him with his thumbs up and a huge smile in my rear view mirror!! LOL!

....then I hit 195! Damn he was right! [Big Grin]

I remember when someone said that a Corvette was a supercar.

Posted by Ryan_LX (Member # 7089) on :

I got pulled over by Rosseti in Fremont and he said " Your long tube headers are illegal" (pointing at my stock h-pipe lol)
Proceed to the engine bay were he said "why do you need that?" pointing at a bbk cold air kit. I said, "what to do you mean?" He said "is it necessary to have a supercharger on this vehicle?" Apparently he's not only the biggest douche but also an idiot hahahaa
