I was on my way to dinner this saturday and was passing by the local car show. I look over and in traffic next to me is a nice 1965 belvedere with repro racing stickers on the windows and a div 1 number (keep in mind we live in az) with SS/B letters on the car. Plus his license plate read 65wedge. I asked him if he thought that was a REAL super stock car and to my suprise... HE SAID YES! In the course of our stop light encounter he tried convincing me it was a max wedge super stock car and a 4 speed. This bothered me alot thinking he is gonna talk to a large group of people telling them this car represents a super stock car. Since none of us go out much to shows (where large groups of spectators go) this is what they will think of when seeing a stock/superstock shoot out. Street cars with mufflers on bfg radials.. boring. Am i wrong for feeling offended? Its like someone buying a jersey and saying they play for the NFL. It just seems wrong to me.
