Why do people ask if I have a REAL Typhoon?

[turbojimmy]

The local GMC dealer replaced my motor mounts. When asked what it was, I said "Typhoon". He said, "2WD", I said "no, AWD". He said, "ok 4WD". I said, "no, AWD". He said, "ummm, okay (in his best you don't know what the hell you're talking about but I'll humor you tone)".

Quoted me a price for a 4WD which evidently doesn't require dropping the front differential.

When I picked it up, he admitted he was wrong and stuck to his quote. He said it took them a lot longer than the book said for a 4WD. I told him it was because it wasn't 4WD - it's AWD.

This from the dealer. <sigh>

What's cool about them now is that they're old enough that people who know what they are are totally amazed, and all others could care less until you leave them standing still from a stoplight.

Kinda funny,
some kids today were actually telling me my truck isnt as fast as a typhoon, or a dodge r/t, but the typhoon is faster than the r/t because it is a tricked out vette motor, and my truck cant smoke the tires on the road because its just a turbo 4. then some ricer told me i needed to get a 6inch greddy exaust pipe
lol

GMC dealer in Central Florida once denied me warranty service because "someone put a turbo on it". I got it out of there to my local guys right away.

Warranty service denied because "someone put a turbo on it". That's the funniest one I have ever heard :lol:!
