The dumbest question I have ever scene!

On her page it shows her hubby is a marine, so maybe he has some secret knowlegde.

 

First off.... seen not scene

As for their being Chevy parts I am reasonably certain there have been at least a few.... Just off the top of my head I seem to recall that 348's use an AC Delco alternator and I'm guessing there are a few other parts that could also be traced back to the GM parts bin.

 

The 400i auto used a GM 350 Turbo slushbox.

 

+1
Besides she is a girl, you can't expect her to know much about cars. A dumb question yes, but it was probably prompted by false information from her husband

 

Should be amusing when Carbo comes across this........

 

Captain Estrogen to the rescue!

 

Silly Carb. Stereotypes exist because they're true

 

Also, I believe the 456 Auto was a GM 700R4, maybe even a 4L60E (an electronically controlled 700).

 

Someone once asked me if I custom painted my car because he thought that Ferrari painted all of their cars red. haha

 

Air pump on all 308's are from a Chevy CJ7 and/or a Chevy Camaro.

 

Actually, I got that same question on mine (grey 328). We need to remember than most people never see/own/drive a Ferrari, so all they have to go on is rumor.

For the record, this lady actually posted in the tech section this morning so that she could get a straight answer. Good for her -- and bad for the husband

 

Maybe he told her that in an attempt to talk her into letting him have one. Instead of beating your chest's and showing everybody how smart you are, back the guy up so he can have a Ferrari too. Way to help a brother out!!

 

I think Delphi, a GM spinoff, makes the HVAC control system for modern Ferraris and the magnetic fluid dampers for one of the new models (599?).

 

Not even close to the dumbest thing I've heard...

Driving on an interstate, doing 65mph, going to a yacht race... I see the flags hanging limp at the side of the road...

I say to my girlfriend at the time... "today is going to suck... No wind"

She lowers the window, puts her hand out, and says "feels pretty windy to me".

I swear the story I have just told is 100% true! But god she was cute...

 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

Since that was a hit...

She had some other winners to... you know those giant tubs they store oil/gas in near refineries and ports (200 ft diameter / 150 ft tall drums)... we were driving by shell oil in freeport texas... it's a F'ing oil refinery...

she asks... "do they keep vegetables in those?"

Again... I swear this is 100% true. God she was cut though!

 

Ferrari 400ia - GM Turbohydromatic 400 transmission.
* Motorcraft-type A/C compressors
* GM smog pumps

heck, the Maserati Biturbo uses GM vacumm dole valves

 

Maybe it is a GM kit car wannabe!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not GM, but the center console switches on the 355 say Ford on the back...

When I was dating my wife, I asked her to pick me up at the car dealership where I was taking my car in for service. I told her how to get there, it was just off the frontage road of a main highway. I saw her get in her car as I was leaving the house, so I knew she wasn't too far behind me. You can imagine my frustration at waiting over 20 minutes for her to arrive. The reason she was late? She couldn't find Frontage Road. Really.

15 years later, it's an ongoing joke. We'll be in another state and I'll say "Look honey, they have a Frontage Road in this city too!".

Those of you on the board that know my wife, never repeat this story to her in person. You won't like the result.

 

Some transmission parts for 456MGTA are allegedly from GM.

 

Wild guess here Simon, but I assume you weren't dating her for her mind.

 

She actually had 2 BS degrees and a master's. Good schools too. Go figure...

That said, your assumption is spot on!
