But I believe THIS was the dumbest question EVER asked about our cars.

HAHA, you should see the rest of the stuff we DO use! Everyone's IQ drops about 20 points with each "training" video or layout we use.... and usually if it's dealing with videos, once they're done, we usually go up to the soldiers and are like "Well, that was mandatory training, so we had to show it, now, memory dump all of that and this is how we do it correctly....."

Guy that works at the gas station near me always asks me

Him: want to sell it? (giving me a "i'm not impressed with your z" look)
me: nope keeping it for good. I'll never get back what its worth to me. Plus, I love that car. You like Zs?
him: No , they're too slow.
Me: What are you comparing them with? What you drive?

He points out to a mercedes roadster

Me: That sh*t slow as hell. Don't they just sell that for wives?
him: Let me know if you do want to sell it. A friend of mine wants me to find one but I haven't had time to go to the auctions.
Me: You want to buy a used sports car at an auction? I thought you said he was a friend?

That Mercedes is probably the manager's (if he isn't) and I guess people still believe the, "I have a friend...." thing still makes it sound like it's not themselves they're referring to.

Dammit this pisses me off!
My coworkers and I go through this arguement every week.
One drives a built STI.
Another a stock Evo8.
The third is a growing pest.
He had a EG hatch that had a prelude swap.
He could never show me the motor, because his hood latch is 'broken'.
His 'new' car is a Datsun 240z that he bought of Craigs.
"It's got twin carbs and built to drift. No offense, i'd smoke you so bad"

Anyways.... with that aside.
They still don't believe the 350z comes with 287 base HP.
Stock. Depending on trim too of course.
Correct me if i'm off...
To the wheel we get like 230? Depending on the dyno.

I'm thinkin' he could try inserting the key into the keyhole, then rotating said key until door magically becomes unlocked...

Just a thought...
