Back when my supra was orange in color and still had the "Toyota" mark and supra badge, an older gentleman came up to me and asked me if this was the ne Ferrari XD.
I looked at him straight in the face and said "sure is!" If he's not smart enough to tell that it's a Toyota, I don't see the point in telling him what it really is lol

I was just going to say something along those lines lol... I get asked ALL the time what kind of car it is. Many of which are standing right next to the car when they ask. You would think they would recognize its a Nissan to start off because of the emblems on the front and rear? haha but I guess not.
Then of course I get the usual.. (not necessarily dumb questions, but ones I get asked all the time lol)
Is it fast?
Is it a manual?
Is it front wheel drive?
Do you drive it in the winter?
When are you gonna let me drive it?
Is there a back seat?
Why would you buy a car without a back seat?

Okay I'll play
"dude did you install camber?"
"you have a v8 right?" (I have a celica. So cut that in half)
"so how fast is it?" (let me reiterate, it's a celica)
"dude you should get this body kit __insert duraflex kit__"
Some people should not ask questions.

Gave my co-worker a ride to work:
"This is one of those 350ZXs right? Is that the twin turbos I'm feeling?"
"It's a 350z, it's n/a. I think you're confusing it with the old 300zx TT."
"Naw my friend bought one of these, they're turbo."
"...... anyway, we're almost there."

To someone who isn't super into cars, I can see where they would see a resemblance between the Z and a Porsche. Of course the Nissan badges and headlights are blatant give aways, but on a very basic level I can see similarities.
Got asked the classic "Is it turbo charged" at work after they heard me driving leaving for lunch break. I instantly thought of this thread. My Z is all stock except rims and interior cosmetics btw, lulz.
I'll cut him some slack though, he's a pretty cool guy, but I don't think he knows what a turbo should sound like.
