I get asked a lot of questions about my car but this tops them all...

Last night on my way home from work I had my windows down and I got a red light, so this guy in a Camry pulls up next to me and has his windows down and say " hey dude, is the engine in the back?!" At first I couldn't tell if that was a real question but after I noticed the expression on his face was serious and he wasn't kidding I replied with a simple "nope it's up front" then the light turned green and I drove off thinking to myself that that was definitely the most far out question I've ever been asked since I've taken ownership of my 12 ss last November. Thought you guys might get a kick out of that one haha

maybe he thought you were driving some exotic mid engine. However, he was a Camry owner

I used to own several Chevy Corvair's. I always loved going to get gas and opening the hood (which is a trunk) in front of someone and saying, "OMG, someone stole my engine!"

You should have replied "one of them is." That would have left him as confused as you were.

Just wait until someone pulls up next to you and asks you " hay that thang got a hemi in it?" Then they spit from that big chunk of chew they have in their mouth. Had that happen to me when I was out of town a couple of weeks ago up by Oklahoma. I was laughing my ass off and went about my way.

Because the front end definitely looks too small to fit an engine.
