jk, this actually reminds me about my buddy's girl. I was showing them the car one time and her reaction was:"YOU DON'T HAVE BACK SEATS?!
" I told her the trunk is mighty comfortable and that she could grab on to the rear strut tower bar

LMAO....
I've heard:
"Does it come with a V12 upgrade?"
"Is there a 4-door model?"
And my all-time favorite from my wife:
"Where are my family supposed to sit if there's no backseats?" (and she wonders why I bought a 2 seater)

First day I brought it home, an older redneck from up the street was walking by, I guessed he must of saw the 350z badge on the back and asks me "that thing got a 350 in it?? what is model that?" I responded "it's a Nissan three fifty Z," he says "350??? I know that already" He was probably was thinking "Chevy 350ci small block" cause his next remark was "no not what it got in it, what model is that??" He walked away looking all confused.

A friend of mine INSISTED that the Nismo model came stock twin turboed. He tried to talk me out of buying it because "someone had modded it and took the turbos out...." He argued with me about it and didn't want to believe it even after I proved it to him.

"Does it have a turbo?"
"How do you clear driveways and speed bumps?"
"Ever speed in it?"
"Why are your breaks gold?"
"How fast does it go?"
"Where's the back seat?"
"What year Porsche is that"
"Why did you get such a small car? you cant fit your kids in it....." (no kids)
"Why would you get a black car? they get dirty way too fast." (I wash it once a week or more and it lives in the garage)

back in 04 a friend of mines brother had just recently bought an S2000.........
i ran into him at a local car wash spot with my new Z and he came up to me and asked if it had 220 hp too?...........
being semi humble, i smiled and said, a bit more like 280ish...
it cracked me up actually.....

My favorite one was.
"Why did Nissan try and copy Infiniti? They wanna be German or something?"
I said: "Nissan is Infiniti. The G35 and 350z share the same platform and engine."
He said: "Man what do I look like? An idiot? I can read as*hole. One says Nissan the other says Infiniti."
*I pull up a pic of the Skyline in japan*
Guy: "Now that's so ricer shiz, that does not look like the skyline gtr in the Fast and Furious."
