    This is a pic of the rear of my car from m clients view point. I run a shop that installs Breathalizers in car for people when they get a D.U.I. since I have had this car in my shop all I hear is "nice Pinto" or, "nice Mustang" WTF? most of these people were teenagers or older in the 70's. How can they not tell the damn difference? And, the "oh i had a buddy with a boss Maverick" or "yeah mine had a 351 in it"???? Sorry I had to vent... [​IMG]

    Yep, I've had older guys who should know better call my Mav a Camaro, a Pinto, a Duster, you name it. Youngsters I can understand but not guys who are my age or older.

    What you need to due is have a sign made ( about 3' by 6' ) hang it from the overhead with a arrow pointing down at the car with one word

    I like messing with people, so I don't have any identification on the outside of the car. That way I can separate the real car enthusast apart from the wannabe!

    How come people never confuse my Pinto as being a Maverick or a Mustang? Or a Vega?? Is that a good thing or bad thing? Hmmmmm......:naughty:

    If all you do is install Breathalizers, I'd say 100% of your clients are dumb!

    then they'd ask "why is that (mustang/pinto/camaro/amx/whatever) parked under a sign that says maverick?" or say "oh, you named your (mustang/pinto/camaro/amx) maverick... why'd you name it that?
