"DUHHH!!!!" at the gas pump

Adding to Chucks Gas pump story I had one this evening. (although its hard to
beat so I don't claim that)
I was at the Cavalcade of Customs in Cincinnati (Got best of class I might
add) and this guy walks up to me and asks if this is the 6 or the 8 cylinder.
Humoring him of course I said a 6.
He told me how horible and unreliable they were so I just said I guess Volvos
are unreliable of which he said they were one of the greatest motors ever but
the D had a different one because DeLorean didn't want to spend the money.
Ok now the charmer
He says did you replace the cam for more power
I asked why
He said all you gotta do is drill a hole in the back from the inside of the
car and it will slide right in.
Dumbfounded at this I asked him if it may be a bit easier to just do it the
normal way.
He says no we do it all the time
I aks him if he has a DeLorean and he says not any more. I asked him how
long he had it. He said Oh I sold it about 1980 or so.
I could not say another word I was trying not to laugh too hard,
He then read my blurb on the sign for the car saying they were made 81 -83
I figured he would get it by then but he came back and told me my sign was
wrong and they were made in the 70's
I couldn't help it I busted up
he got pissed
and left
THANK GOD
I would have died if he had continued.
On a serious note most people at the show were actually well informed on the
car and I always had a nice crowd around it.
The guy across from me noticed and was a bit jealous as the crowd always
turned towards the D not his car and he had a very nice Chevy with custom
paint.
Well thats my 2 cents worth
