^Not that dumb... I'd be the same way with Mercedes, BMW and Hyundai. I don't follow the brands and have no clue what models they've made.

Not a question but a comment. I'm at a car meet standing within ear shot of a guy looking at my wheels and I hear him say "He's gotta have spacers or something."
I simply have aftermarket wheels with +22 offset all around, not even an aggressive setup. Not sure why he would think that I must have spacers

Was wondering where you were lol
This happened yesterday when my girlfriend wanted to see what New Haven was like (also has the nickname pistol wavin new haven for a good reason). I was driving the DB9 because I barely drove it since I got it. Stopped at a gas station and some hooker runs up on me telling me she loves me car and asking me quote "where da pawwwty at daddy". Girlfriend in the car laughing her *** off and started recording me being nervous trying to get away from this lady who wouldn't leave me alone until I gave her 5 bucks.

I get asked if my Brides are fake. I guess nobody has ever seen a real one before

*visiting some friends, about to go to dinner and we ask to jump in someone else's car because we can't fit anyone in ours (restaurant has very limited parking)*
friend: "your backseat can't be that small!"
me: "what backseat?"
***
"how do you put it in 6th gear?..." (thinking that reverse would be in the way)
***
"I can't get it into 6th gear!" (wife trying to shift too hard/aggressively and getting resistance from trying to put it in reverse @ fwy speed, thank God for interlocks)
***
"Man, you guys really aren't having kids anytime soon"

RWD the engine will be oriented so that the crank shaft runs from the front to back, known as longitudinally mounted. On a FWD the motor is rotated 90 degrees so that the crank shaft runs side to side, known as transversely mounted.

But I doubt the average person that isn't really much of a car enthusiast would be able to tell from looking at the engine. I am a car enthusiast and I just learned this now Lol.
