Let's hear some stupid questions people have asked you.

I was just asked by one of my coworkers.

"Does it have a V12?"

Lmao.

Mine wasn't really a question but it was more of a statement byt his girl I was dating. We were going out as a group and she knew I had the Z with me, which she has rode in, and she said that she could bring two of her friends with her in my car.

"Is that a porsche?" - A lot of girls ask me this.

"Is this the V8 or V6 model?" - I actually got into an argument over this one because the guy insisted that the 350z came with V8's.

"Are you planning on upgrading the stock turbos?"

No. Actually, she was a mixed white/black girl (black hair) who was otherwise exceptionally intelligent.

She liked nice cars but apparently only paid attention to their aesthetics rather than what the car was about otherwise.
