"Is that an RX-8?"
Yeah, now I've heard it all. I was hanging out with a friend at the local Wally-world earlier when one of the employees saw my shiny red Z sitting out in the parking lot (by itself of course):
Employee: "nice car!"
Me: "thanks."
Employee: "I know I've heard of those cars. Oh! It's an RX-8, isn't it?"
Me: "
" (stayed that way for a second or two... pretty akward)
Me: "Actually it's a Nissan 350Z"
Employee: "Oh, never heard of those" (walks off)
Some people. This is actually the second time someone compliments me on my "RX-8"...

When people start in with the SERIOUSLY stupid questions (or ask why I didn't get the turbo model) I just start messing with them. One guy actually believed I had a flux capacitor that gave me an extra 40 hp at the wheels.
I know, I'm evil. But I don't care. lol

On the way to work this morning while backing out my driveway, a guy in a red sunfire pulled behind me and waved. I got out to see who it was, and he goes, "oh, sorry, I thought you were Sal..."
Sal is my neighbor, lives 3 houses down. He has a black Porsche Carrera drop-top. I'll take that mistaken identity as a compliment.

I believe that's 1.21 jigawatts. 
I just want to make sure I get the Mr. Fusion upgrade option.
