The dumbest question I get is, "Why did you get an automatic?"

Also...why do you buy a sports car and only drive under 3000rpm?

Dumbass: What kind of times does it get?
Me: Depends on what track
Dumbass: Here at the speedway
Me: Infield track, classic course and what config?
Dumbass: I didn't know there was more than one drag strip
Me: Drag racing is boring!!

"How do you go out with the family with that car?"

I'm like "its easy, i stuff my 2yr kid back there inside the hatch"

I f***ing hate that question... I dunno super fast, but with a tune I think it will be super duper fast.


Best/worst question I got:
I pull up to this little pizza place in my SRT4 theres a Sentra behind (I guess he is the delivery guy).

Him: Where did you get your exhaust done?
Me: Lou's custom exahsut (3" catless straight pipe)
Him: Do they charge extra to put the thing on it to make the wooosh sound when you let off the gas? or does that go in the transmission for when you shift
Me: "chuckle" thats from the turbo
Him: That's turbo!!??!!, how much would it cost to make it so my car can make that noise?
Me: "more then you can afford pay" (cocky ferrari guy voice), jk it's a lot of money at least $3,000 minimum roughly
Him: oh thats too much I can get a body kit and side graphics for less.
Me: (Walk away well rolling my eyes and shaking my head)

This is why I have started to blatantly lie, and see who goes for it.

LOl, I'd say something like: "No, just drove underneath a semi and it was a little too short on clearance. From your comments I know you've seen The Fast and the Furious. I was just doing my Vin Diesel thing." Or, some silly remark like that.

Some douchey high schooler while I was walking into the post office...

Kid: "How fast is your car?"
Me: "I dunno, never tracked it"
Kid: "Well, what's the speedometer say"
Me: "Zero"

Hate people that assume since their speedometer says 160 they think there car can go 160. Like my friend

I don't really get asked dumb questions, guess I haven't had my Z long enough.

Back when I bought my 03 Z, I had a person ask me if it was FWD? I told them Z's never came in FWD, they are all RWD. He said oh, I thought this was a new altima...

I reply, "Its a 350"

Next question, "What's the difference?"
OK, that's hilarious

Apparently my dad (who's been driving it for me while I've been stationed in Germany) was just asked today:

"How much one of those run brand new?" (from a guy driving a 1990's ford pickup)

"How fast does it go?"

"How much did those rims cost?" (their Stock Enth rims)

And my now second favorite:

"Can I just drive it around the parking lot real quick? I just want to see the acceleration and handling it has."
