Are you a true Firebird/Camaro driver???

Please, know the difference between the two, why do I get guys even at auto parts places when I give them my info on the car, for example....when I say firebird 3.8 blah blah blah, the ask, is that a chevy or pontiac......or vice versa, or on the street, they go, "hey nice car, is that a camaro," and im like...?????, no is a firebird. So, why is that, is it that these people are just trying to hard to fit in(the pontiac/chevy group),so hard that they dont know scrap , or why??????? Is like calling me Mexican........wait a minute..........I am. nevermind.

most everyone here can tell the difference between those by looking at them but the questions that are asked about them are about the specific mechanical differences are between those individual models.

Hey you gotta consider that some of these people that are asking the questions are just trying to get more educated. So what if they dont know anything...thats why they ask the question in the first place. People that know its a firebird dont ask. They ask those questions because they dont know..but they want to know.

Re: Are you a true Firebird/Camaro driver???

Well in all honesty, if they (those who ask by looking) are into the import I could see some of the confusion. It would be the same as half the time I have to ask, is that a Honda or Acura, albeit they are the same car (much like your point here).

As for the parts guys, well, some aren't the brightest bulbs in package as we all know. However, there is some legitamicy to their question in respects to are they asking who made the motor? Kinda makes sense.

OH, and for the record, is up with that sig?
