"is that a sports car?"
Me: yes it's a sports car.
" I wanna say Ferrari..."
Me: no man it's a Nissan.

I guess I take that as a compliment lol

I got the car early in 07 and I just got the "is it a porsche?" for the first time a couple weeks ago and coincidentally shortly after I had my nismo v2 kit installed. I guess that's what it took to finally get confused for something else . So tempted to say "yup...Porsche 350GT, 2013, hasn't even come out yet. Imported prototype straight from Germany" just to see how gullible the dude was. However my non-smartass side took over and I was like "Nah man it's just a Nissan"

From my buddy while giving him a ride to get some beer

"So this car didn't come with ANY back seats?"

I chuckled

The dude who changed my engine oil at Pennzoil - kept referring to it as Infiniti G35 - Not entirely wrong, but whatever.. he should know better.

Yup judging by the comments in this thread, I guess the common stupid question by people are: "IS THAT A PORCHE?" I get asked that as well as, "Is that your car?" I politely respond with a yes, but I'd like to say, "No **** I'm driving it ain't I!!!"

As I'm reading through this thread, I have to laugh at all the Porsche comments. I work in a pretty industrial part of town, so most of the people around there don't see anything other than your typical Ford, Chevy, or Dodge trucks. I had a woman the other night tell me my car was gorgeous (hey, I'll take it! Haha the purple always wins the ladies over I guess...), and after I thanked her she said she doesn't see Porsches too often. Haha, I told her it was actually a Nissan 350z, and she was so shocked to hear that it was a Nissan!

Happens to me all the time.

I say "350z"

"No no no, What KIND"

"A THREE FIFTY Z!!!! NISSAN!"

"Oh okay nice."

Most of the time they are asking who makes the car in a stupid way.

I can't stand most of the questions in your list. Like the kids not fitting, and the typical don't get a black car or why are you getting a black car they look dirty blah blah blah. I'm thinking, "I wash it often and I if it looks dirty so what? I'll def wash it for important things". just stupid

well put
