At the last cruise night some clown was looking at the engine in my truck and said that I should “wrap that engine in Chevrolet sheet metal”! So I smiled and asked why should I do that? Then I pointed to the magnetic sticker on the underside of the hood “GENUINE FORD PARTS”. I then informed the clown what engine I had.
Then asked him “how many Chevy guys he knows that still have their original owned 1968 truck” ? And the clown was about the same age as me. Case closed.
