I cried today

So I was at the muffler shop getting my new magnaflow mufflers welded on. I sat in the waiting room and parked my car right up front.
A gentlemen walks in and sits right next to me. He said to me "is that one of those new fancy challengers". I sighed and said no its the Camaro.
He says to me "ah I haven't seen one of them." He says to me "My friend has a 1945 (lol??) Camaro that is a beauty and a 2008 challenger". He can't wait till they start putting challengers down the quarter mile he say hes knows that there much faster than the Camaro.. I go along with him because I didn't want to break out into discussion. He said that he is going to look at getting a new zL1 (lol) camaro next week. He heard it has over 4000 hp. I said that cool. He said it will run 5s in the quarter right out of the factory.

This is where I started to cry
WHY THE HELL WASN'T I TOLD ABOUT A ZL1 running 5s from the factory. ?!?!

I know right, the guy at the counter of the shop was giggling the whole time. This guy drove away in a older eclipse. Deep inside i hope this guy was playing around, but he looked completely serious.

i had a guy in my shop today, telling me he had a car like mine "back in the day".
he said too bad its so old, prolly drives like crap. then he said what's that black thing on top of the motor...
i never bothered to tell him it was a year and half old with a blower. he would have argued me about it. morons. just before he left, he said i should put a diesel in uit and "chip it"

You were not told because you're not from Oz, clearly where this fella is from.
