The dumbest question you've been asked about your car?

But who knows, if he was old maybe he couldn't see that well as is...
Dumbest question ever for me was when I was leaving a bar after my brother's bachelor party, and I had my wife come to pick me up in the Z as I wasn't fit to drive... I'm standing on the curb outside the bar as she pulls up and he goes "Wow sweet ride! What mods do you have?" I started listing all of the mods: intake, exhaust, headers, plenum spacer, and before I can finish he cuts me off and asks "yeah, but does it have a chip?" I laughed and said no, that most chips don't really do anything and that an ECU flash and tune with supporting mods will more effectively show real hp and tq gains. He looks at me like I'm retarded and says "Whatever man, I gotta buddy who put a chip in his civic and he got like 200 hp from it!" I just started laughing and hopped in the passenger seat.
^ I saw that on one of the Z fb groups....wth
I was walking at a car meet in, and some dude had like 3 ghetto looking guys talking about his car. I overhear them talking about how :
1: he shaved the heads on the vq at his house....
2: how lightweight his 22s were.. .
3: that the chip he has gave 58 horsepower
4. How he was going to get slick tires for said 22s
And more that I can't rememeber...
Ohh and he drives a 350z

At a gas station (same gas station for all of these questions btw)
dude at gas station "Are those xxr's?"
Me: "nah, wedsport tc105n's"
dude: "You should put some xxr's on your car. My homie did and his car looks way better now"
Me: "wut?"
----------------------------------
Random woman:"Can I drive it?"
Me:"No"
woman:"I wont go fast, I just wana see how fast it is"
----------------------------------
random guy at gas station "Is that a porsche?"
Me: "Nissan"
guy: "How fast does the spedo go to?"
----------------------------------
"Is it fast?"
"Why is it so low?"
"You have an LS?"
"Why haven't you put turbos on it?"
"You got nozzz?"
"Why not get the 370z?"
Random guy: "Is that a rarri?"
Me: "what?"
Guy: "You know, a Ferrari? I see the Nissan emblem but it looks like a Ferrari, dont want it to get stolen or something?"
I understand that not everyone knows about cars in general but some people really crack me up.

"No way that car comes in that color" Open's door panel and shows them that the label states "Solar Orange" and I still got a reply stating..."Nope I still don't believe that color is stock."
Whatever, orange Z is orange.
Whatever, orange Z is orange.
first off my Z is 2007 and its twin turbo'd
I've been asked if its a boosted V4 lol
And the second is just kind of a pet peeve. but the whole "how fast does it go?" thing gets to me especially when you know they're talking about HP not speed and they're not to knowledgeable on the topic anyways.

pull up to pump gas…
(guy in a BWM) "Thats a nice car"
(me) "Thanks"
(guy) "Is that an exhaust you have on?"
(me) "yeah"
(guy) "why does it sound like that? You have a K&N?"
(me) "Nah, just bolt ons"
(guy) "All you have is an exhaust? Thats why it sounds like that? You don't have a K&N"
(me) "Nah, just bolt ons"
Dude looked shady as* hell! Thats why I didn't say it had a Vortech, besides, he probably would have told me a K&N would be better

Some of these Crack me up, mostly because I've heard most of them before.
I have Vertical Doors inc. kit on my car, and at car shows I've had multiple people ask me if 350's come like that from the factory. I tend to tell them it does, but I pulled the V-12 in favor of the V-6.

Those pictures are almost 3 years old too.. it looks much different now. I wouldn't have the doors on it if I didn't show it, they are kind of a pain in the ***. One guy closed the door without putting it down all the way first and obliterated my pillar, had to replace both door panels for the same reason. Now I don't accept passengers except my wife.... and she has been thoroughly trained.
"Okay, were going golfing. How the **** are we gonna get two bags back there?" "Do0d, Nissan thought of that. They posted a picture on how to do it on the deck lid". "Yeah, but I still can't do it". "I know. Just put the bag at your feet".
