Today I stopped to buy gas @ the local Sunoco station. While I was fueling a young man, maybe 20 years old, asked me if my car was an "El Camino". I told him it was. Then he asked why it had "Chevelle" lettering on the fron fenders. I said, "because it is a Chevelle".
He shot back at me " El Caminos are Chevrolets, not Chevelles!". I tried to give him a quick, but friendly, tutorial on the trasnsition from 59/60 Chevy Elkos to the Chevelle 2nd generation Chevelle Elkos. I thought I might be abkle to enlighten him since he seemed interested.
He clearly did not accept was I was telling him. He argued that there was something bogus about the fender badging or that it was really not an El Camino. He looked at me and made some muttered insult and turned to walk away.
Of course, I responded to this dummy in kind. He insisted that El Caminos have never been Chevelles. Then he walked away like a happy little moron.
The episode was entertaining for me because I enjoyed watching him struggle with my explanation.
Moral of this story: Never waste your breath arguing with an idiot, especially one who knows more about your ride than you do!
Has anyone else here run into similar nutjobs ?
