someone compliments your car and then follows with the wrong car? just curious....

some guy at advanced was shootin' the **** with me for a couple of minutes he glaces at the car and says "I'm gonnah tell you right now, those are some nice wheels you have on that car" I grin and say yea they are pretty nice huh, then he says "What is that a Grand Prix?" I couldn't believe it :? I laughed and said na, it'* a bonneville my friend.

I get a lot of compliments from OLDER folk like 40+ it makes me feel pretty good to think old timers are diggin' the bonnie on them thangs.

what makes it so bad, I have bonneville emblems on the rear pillars,

well i know a cop once mistook haro'* car for a GP, so oh well, someone who just doesn't know....gotta give em a break, they probably wont do it again. but if he saw the c pillar emblems, thats just inexcusable

At least he said Grand Prix, one guy thought my Bonne was a Grand AM! and then one of my friends asked if it had the 3.1

Who you calling an old timer, you young whipper-snaper?!

What kind of emblems?

You think you guys got problems? Someone thought my car was a CENTURY!!

I meant that in a good way, the O.G'* are the ones I expect confusion and dismay from, I guess living in a college town they've slightly adjusted......

that'* not the first time I've been call a GP either, when I had the green SSE some guy talked my ear off and then say BTW nice GP I don't really care if someone mistakes my car for the most part anyway,

believe it or not, in like 2000 before I really knew or cared about villes, I told a girl I was working with one day I liked her bonneville, and she gave me the most ugliest/cunfused look, she was like "Bonneville?! get real my cars a Grand Prix" oh well, she wasn't that cute anyway..............

I had the same thing happen to me but the worst part was he was standing at the frnt of the car looking at the windshield and that was after I got the banner

I could see mixing up with a Le Sabre but a Century? C'mon ( althogh I have been known to confuse Centuries with Regals)

How much does your car look like a Grand Prix, dude? :?
