Me: I need a intake manifold gasket for a Truck Intake
Parts Guy: What's your VIN
Me: Doesn't matter, it's plastic with four holes
Parts Guy: What engine
Me: Don't worry
Parts Guy: Just tell me your engine
Me: It's an LS2 Outta a GTO
Parts Guy: haha no it's not
Me: Yes it is
Parts Guy: Look kid i don't know what you read on the internet but an LS2 will not fit in your truck, and the truck intake will never fit on an LS2, When you figure out what engine you have come back and see me
Me: .... Your a Dumbass

At the track people ask me all the time if it is a diesel. With the rhodes lifters it does sound similar to a diesel.

Alot of old school guys ask if its a 350. They also think I only get about 7-8 mpg with the power I make.

Does that thing have a hemi in it? This always comes from ricers.

I have an on off switch in my truck for a light under the tonneau cover. Someone always asks "Is that your Nos switch?"

"Where is your tailgate handle?" (Shaved tailgate)
"Why did you take your bumper off?" (Shaved roll pan)
"You're going to tear off your gas tank as low as that is"
"Do you bottom out when you accelerate?"
