"I bet you baby this thing because of all those chains" or "Is that a real ZR-1?". You can see them just standing there looking at the oil filter and trying to figure that out.

I took my car in for a smog check a couple of years ago. The technician stood over the motor and studied it. He moved around from one side to the other and reached down to touch it. I asked him if he had any questions. He said no. Then he accused me of swapping motors with some unknown exotic type! I just laughed!! Aren't these cars fun!!

Then I gave him a lesson in the KOH!!
