I'm with Skeeter, I too have given up on trying to explain to people the difference. It's still hard to sit back though when people say "a Contour??", or "isn't that a Grandma car?"(My personal fav) or the latest when a guy in a 305 powered Z28(early 90's??) got schooled the other night at the track, he said "oh, it's just a 24 valve". That one I don't understand. I could tell he was embarassed.
Oh yeah, and the bagger in the grocery store telling some girl that it was "just" a contour with a body kit, so naturally my mom ask's him which car he was talking about and he points to mine. She say's "oh, I see..." he says, "why?, is that yours?" "No, it's my sons" He ask's "is it fast?" I offered to take him for a ride, but he declined. His loss.
Of all the things, it's the folks that don't think anything of the cars, like that Z28 guy.
