At a local cruise-in, two guys standing infront of my car talking
"You know these things got a twin turbo big block in 'em"
Freaking idiot obviously didn't notice the 6 plug wires..

At a drive-up window, mid 40's lady
"That sure is a pretty Grand Prix, me and my husband had one of them just like that"
I seriously doubt that.

Ricer kid at the gas station
"Hey man, those things are turbo charged aren't they?"
"Yep"
"How much boost you runnin'?
"19 psi"
"No F******g way!!"
"Yep"
"My buddy is only running 9 Psi in his Eclipse"
My wonderful advice to this young man?
"Tell him to turn up the boost some, those cars can run 20 psi with no problem...."
"REALLY?"
 
I haven't even got to the car show yet and my dorky neighbor ask me if I want to sell my car. I told him 18k and before he could get the words monte carlo out of his pie hole, I had already said Buick Grand National:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :confused: :(. The rediculous part is he says "I'll need about two months to get up that kind of money." I'm thinking yea right:rolleyes:

This happened to me but it was small, obviously female footprints on the windshield about 3' apart! My MOM was in the passenger seat and noticed them about the same time I did. She started to ask, then just stopped in mid-question. Awkward then, funny now! My G/F was mortified when I told her!
 
These are some pretty funny comment people have given you guys. I've gotten the "hey, nice monte carlo" thing more than a few times, most of the time I just laugh since there's no reason to try to explain these buicks to people like that. Keep 'em comming guys

I also forgot to mention that 2 or 3 times i've had people ask me if my car was a GNX because of the GTA wheels. I just laugh and tell them sorry I'm only 18 and don't have $40k to spend. It is pretty funny how the ricer guys can't believe that I can run over 10 psi on my car and not even sweat it.
 
I had a girl in high school tell me that I should sell that old ugly black thing and have my parents buy me a Mustang.

I told her: (1) I paid my own CASH for this car and the restoration and (2) You have NO flippin' idea what you're talking about!


A deadbeat punk at work once told me that if it was a Monte SS he would buy it from me. I smirked and (1) If it was a Monte I wouldn't be driving it and (2) there's NO WAY you could ever afford to pay me what I would want for this car even if it were for sale!
 
every time i go to autozone to buy an oil filter and tell them the exact number they ask " well if its for the monte carlo that one wont fit" it never fails. pisses my dad of bad
 
I have a Turbo Limited...after running 119.9 last month a guy came over asking what kind of engine I was running. I told him it's the same engine as used in the Grand National.

He thought a bit and then asked me if I got it out of a wrecked GN??

Took me a second to realize what he meant:)

Thats very funny! I hate when people think the only thing special is that its black.
 
I've got a few...

"How much for that SS?"

"That things got a 442 right?"
---Heard that one twice.

"Yeah, my buddy / cousin / etc had a GNX blah blah blah...."

One kid came up and complimented me on the car. He enthusiasticly said, "it's got a blown big block, right?"
I educated him on the fact that GN / TR's onlt came with a turbo six. He replies "oh" with this heartbroken look on his face.
As I left I spooled up and got sideways down the street. I wish I saw his fave then.
 
Shoot, and I thought I was the only one lucky enough to see these people that hardly have enough brains to chew their own food without instructions. It's kind of entertaining sometimes like when you see the stuffed remains of one of those cows with two heads, and can't help but stare. It's kind of wierd, but interesting at the same time.
My car obviously didn't leave the factory the way it is, so I tell people that it has a Grand National drivetrain, so I always get a bunch of different responses. Like the, "Yeah my friend's brother's sister's cousin's dog......"
I've had people ask me if I have a small block Chevy, and if I have a big block Chevy. Sometimes while they are looking under my hood. Apparently the word big is just a word and they don't realize that it has anything to do with the actual size of the motor.

That reminds me of a story a buddy tells. When he worked at Auto Zone years ago a man comes in looking for a filter for a Camaro.

Counterman: Is it for a 350?

Customer: No, it's bigger dan dat.

Counterman: Is it a 454?

Customer: No, it's one a dem big motors.

Counterman: What size is it?

Customer: (holding hands about 2 feet apart) It's about dis' big!

:rolleyes:

Or the wrecking yard worker who got a call while I'm standing there:
Customer: I needs a hood for my car.
Counterman: What kind of car is it, sir?
Customer: It's a blue one.
Counterman: (heavy sigh) We don't have one sir. "click"
 
Street rodders are used to seeing oddball stuff, but I fully expect the "...that's nice but why didn't you put a small block Chevy in it?" on a regular basis.:mad:
 
The new "hot rod" style is to put a EFI corvette engine in theirs. 350 of course.

Richard, just tell them you couldn't find a small block with enough power. I guarantee you that you're right though, I've had folks ask me why I didn't buy a Monte Carlo SS instead of a GN since it had a V-8.......
 
On my way home with the GN on the trailer the day I bought it, a Sheriff drives by me slowly and gives me the thumbs up and a nod. I wave and smile back. I tell me wife and she says "He was just saying hi and he is glad that you will help him meet his monthly quota."
 
i raced a turboed eclipse with a front mount and some other little stuff so it wasnt rice but i beat him by at least 4 car lengths and when we pulled in to a parking lot his friend gets out and we pop the hood and hes like i thought you said it was a six and i said count the spark plugs and he still didnt believe me. he said it was a "big" motor??? what ever that means
