I hate know-it-alls!
Okay, so I go to Rita's Water Ice this evening for a little treat. I pull in in the Z and I park in a far corner. While I am waiting in line I had this conversation with this idiot:
Guy: Do all the 350z's have those brushed aluminium handles?
Me: Yip. They all look pretty much the same from the outside.
Guy: You should have gotten the G35c, 50 more hp!
Me: *girlfriend afraid I am gonna jump on him* No, I think it actually has about 7 hp less. (Meanwhile I am trying to be nice)
Guy: Well, it's an Infiniti, so they will put more hp in that one. But it's only if you get the bigger engine.
Me in my head: What! You idiot! Bigger engine!!!! Now I know you have no clue what you're talking about!
Me: Okay, if you say so.
Guy: Yeah, I know this guy with the G35 sedan and he got the brake package. I think they're yellow, and even the rotors are yellow. He said it has 300 hp.
Me in myhead: Okay, you can shut up now, you have no clue.
Me: Yip they're good cars.
At the end of it my g/f was proud that I didn't lose my temper. Can you believe some people though!

Haha, good job on keeping your cool. Although it hasn't happened to me and my Z (yet)...I have witnessed it happened first hand to other friends, and i guess they didnt keep as cool a head as you did! I'm sure it would have been worse if that guy was talking about HIS car, and how HIS car could beat yours! I know you would have gone nuts probly lol
dont let it bother too much though, unfortunately there will always be a HUGE number of people like that...they'll never go away
It's best to just smile and nod calmly even though it would be nice to 
sometimes
besides, you're the one with a beautiful Z....dont let him take away from joy

Other option is to act completely indifferent, almost stupid. Answer something like, "hehe, i like cars." Just keep repeating that no matter what they say.

Oh man. I'm impressed you kept your cool. I doubt that I could have. But hey, I bet the spectators would have gotten a kick out of a tiny girl beating up a full grown man. LOL
I've been told some pretty stupid "facts," and most of the time, I just look at them like they're idiots. I don't have a problem if they just don't know and are asking questions--that's fine. But what irritates me is when people tell ME that they're waiting for the TT that's coming on the 04 models.

gj Haanz!
I could have never pulled that off. There is this kid (26) in my office who is a total know-it-all $**thead...noone likes him. He always has to be "one up" on everyone. Well, I cant stand his bs lies, so I always put him in his place.
One time he csaid almost the EXACT same thing to me because "hes gonna buy his gf a G35". So...I had to beat him down every time some diarreah started pouring outta his mouth. Now he never comes over to my area of the office, lol!

I've hear a lot of " I'm waiting for the Twin turbo model" And "Why didn't you get the Twin Turbo option". I've also had a few younger guys bullsh**ing me saying " I know a guy that modded his with (fill in the blank) and has 650hp that could blow your car away".
