possibly biggest BS story ever?

A yup. I have met many characters. Took the car to a local Thursday night car get together at a local hangout. A guy came up (beer in hand) and started asking about the car. I was polite and tried to tell him, but he cut me off and told me that I don't know "the real story". Then proceeded to tell me how much I didn't know about, including that the Enzo and Carroll battle was a total fix and that the late Cobras were actually built with left over GT500 chassis and parts. I just nodded and said "wow!"

Quite entertaining actually..
What else can you do?

Obvious liars make living easy.
When somone starts in with a crap story, I just put their name in the 'BS list' and move on.

Yep, it's the non-obvious liars that you really gotta watch out for....

Everyone is suspect.
The other side of the list is 'Likely BS-ers'.

... but it's the unlikely BS-ers that are particularly troublesome.

Nope. Just two columns. BS and likely BS.

Yup. Like the guy years ago that had all the right buzz words and convinced me to make a flight up north to look at his NOS 427 S/O crate motor that he claimed was given to him by his father in law. Once I met him and looked at the motor, I was just pissed at myself for falling for it.

Ads insult here... on my way back to the airport I hit a nice 4 point buck deer in my rental mustang GT with only 200 miles on it!
