gotta add mine, more of two questions and one statements
mom asked me where i was going to put my son, which i replied "ummmmm probably in britt's(my wife) focus, seems like a pretty good spot to me"

dad asked me when i was going to get it out of his garage in ohio, ive spent the past year in afghanistan

told my uncle about the turbo ive got(granted siting in a closet till i get back) and mention i should be able to hit 700 hp at the rear wheels pretty easy(i come from a family of hard core drag racers). which he replied it was impossible for a 3.5L to make 700 at the engine let alone the wheels. guess he has never heard of the 1500 hp 2.0L drag ecotecs.


oh yah i had one person argue with me that the 350z only came with 4 doors and only came as a roadster even after i showed him a pic of mine, which is a coupe.

Why is that dumb? Standard, Manual, Stick, they all mean the same thing to just about anyone.

Not really a question, but the dumbest thing I was told, after telling a friend I paid 11k for it (04.5 6sp touring, 74k miles, immaculate condition), he said "you got ripped off, these things go for 8k all day with less miles". Asked him to show me where he saw that, he said he'd send me a link.... never got one.

When I got mine new in 2003, I had several friends & family assume it cost in the $60K - $75K range. Had lots of folk asking how I could afford it.

They were shocked when I informed them only cost me $27,500.

the reason why it is dumb, is because they are sitting in the car, watching me shift Gears! Like how do they not know.

Well if you used proper grammar with your question, we'd be able to tell that you were asking a question. As it is, it sounds like people are excited that you drive a standard haha.
