It does get interesting when someone stops to chat. Sometimes at first you think you may learn something then you find out you won't. I stopped to check a guy's newer Corvette to see what they looked like inside. He asked if I ever had one. I said I had owned 2 at one time. When I told him I had owned a 90 ZR-1 he replied they never made them in 1990. I told him they did and I may know more about a 90 ZR-1 than anyone he knows. Later he chases me down and said he consulted with his Corvette buddies and said he was right , I said ok you win. My wife was upset that I let him win, I am more open minded than any of my 3 wives would think.

I overheard one know-it-all at a show telling how the Gunslinger automatic pistol grip shifter was factory and he was really starting to attract a crowd with other bs.
I interjected and figured I'll one up him.
I proceeded to tell him that I had been involved with the development of the pistol grip shifter when I was in the military, and used to work on it in my spare time.
Told him one time, I accidently parachuted into a Turkish prison and held everyone at bay with my proto-type shifter handle before making my escape.
I then walked away leaving him in silence...always counter bs with more bs.

I know this is an old thread and also my first post, this is also how I found the forum. I was trying to get information on the pistol grip shifter, mainly what year and cars they were available on. I found this thread which gave me the info I was looking for. I read the whole thing, some of the the responses were hilarious, plus learned what I wanted to know. I go to the lurk and learn mode now.
