I guess the dumbest question I ever got was when I stopped at a gas station to put oil in. A guy walks up and says you need help? So I lif tthe hood and he yells WHAT THE HELL KINDA ENGINE IS THAT??!! I answered, its an engine cover and put the oil in myself.

Pink Flea

Heres the stupidest answer I got from an RX8 driver...
I asked him how fast have you had it? He said "oh about 55 or so".
Me: #$#$%@#&$@#$ WHAT???!!!@$#$$... Ive had mine 141... loser

The other day at the track I met a kid who just bought an 8 so I started talking to him and asked what kind of exhaust he had an **** like that he still has a cat, casually I told him hell have get rid of it so flames come out like mine he goes get the f**K out of here... then as were walking to my car so I can prove it to him he goes so does your car get like 14 miles per gallon, Im like no probably about 35, hes like wtf... then i started laughing and told him i was just kidding.

Saturday there were about 6 of us together and we stopped for gas...We are in a town that is about 3 miles long end to end ok.... As I was standing at the pump I had a guy ask me. "where did all these cars come from"?

I was nice.... I told him we were apart of a car club which started in Japan!
He looked at the other driver's of which none are Asian, and then at me like I was nuts, but I never said a word otherwise......yes, I'm bad..

I had quite an amusing time at an A&W drive through yesterday


Quick backstory: I'm from Philly, which is cool & dry. I now live in Houston, which is hot & wet. I like to drive with every window open rain, snow, or shine. Black leather + scortching heat + 99% humidity = one sweaty yankee. Rather than roll the windows up and turn on the A/C, I tough the heat & put on lifting gloves so my hands don't slide off the wheel.


Story:
I pull up to the drive through, place my order, and pull up to the first window to pay. The kid, who's probably between 16-19 years old, sees the gloves and says mockingly "hur hur what's up wid da gloves? car so fast you need gloves to control it? dur hur."
:eyeroll:
I just want my damn food, and I really don't think this kid wants to hear about my sweaty hands, so I just say the first thing that comes to mind to shut him up...
"Yeah, actually - I had to take the power steering pumps out to make room for my twin superchargers."

His face went like this:

^_^

...

o_O

So I pay, go up to the next window, and guess who's up there?
The kid from the first window, the kid that's there to hand me my food & drink, and 2 other guys from someplace in the store - all crowded around that second window. The kid from the first window was herding them over there, and when I pull up says to me "Hey man - can you rev for us?"

So I hit 9k, followed by a few bounces in the "flame-burst" zone. Their faces lit up like the fourth of July and they went CRAZY.
"OH SHEEEEEIIIIITT!!! YOU HEAR DAT?? DAAAAAAYYYYYYUUUUMM!!! DUR HUR HUR!!"
They started asking me how fast I was, 0-60 times, if I street raced, ect. I just said I had to leave and peeled out.



Oh, BTW, I'm BONE STOCK.

At times like these, I'm glad the world is full of so many Rotards.

rddragoness

^^ OK, now I'm gonna ask a stupid question......What is the "flame burst zone"....I need to try that one myself, and considering I'm female, it ought to be a hoot!


call me a noob if you want but there are just some things I have not thought of!

Pink Flea

Dont worry girl. I was gonna ask the same question and Im not that new!

Ben98gs

I am assuming he means fuel cut-off/rev limiter. It is kinda like hitting a two step for drag race launching (basically it shoots flames about everytime it hits the rev limiter). Maybe he can correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that is what he means by "flame burst zone"

½mv²

lol sorry - I just kinda made that term up in a rush to finish the post.


I was refering to the rpm zone in which catless exhausts will get a short burst of flames to shoot out. I still have my cat & stock exhaust, so I don't get any flames or loud pop, but it still shimmys and grumbles like an old muscle car.



EDIT:

^ I guess what he said works, too. I never (intentionally) hit my rev limiter, so I don't know if it grumbles and shakes the same way.

With a BOV, it is really easy to do since once it goes you run real rich.

Not a comment, but people who have been in my car before, including the back seat, still sometimes pull the front passenger seat forward to get in the back, forgetting about the suicide door, lol.

^ I get that all the time, too. I don't understand how you can just "forget" something like that. The 1st time you see the car I understand. The 2nd time you do it, you only have half an excuse. But the 17th & 18th time??? I mean come on! Do you really ride in so many 2-door Mazda sports cars with back seats that you've forgotten which one of your Mazda-owning friends drives the one with the funny doors???

I get a kick out of the "Is that a new porsche?" question, and the "What's a rotary?" blank stare.

The other day my friend called me and the first thing he asked me was "So what's the new mod to your car?" Hahaha. Before he moved I was going nuts with putting stuff on my car (Only one performance mod [MS CAI] and the rest was stuff like the rotor accents, etc). I just got a kick out of it and told him that the next thing is a flywheel.

edit: I called the CAI a performance mod, because that's what it's supposed to be. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Lawlz.

Was going out to lunch with 2 of my co workers, i asked one of them who was goin to get in the back, "you know how to get in back right'? she goes yeah, looks for the handle in the front seat to get it forward and "i'm like nooo, thats not how you get in"....open the suicide door, and she like amzed, i didnt know your car opened like that?

Some neighbors of mine.....older people 70 year olds. OoO look at his doors, they open like that (Suicide doors).

Some guy coming out of liquior store with his friend, goes, nice car buddy, i'm like thanks, he asks his friend, what kind of car is that?! (made me smile)...his buddy like, its a mazda (like he disappointed at his friend for not knowing what car it is).

Then you have people at the gas station, yeah i just bought a G35......how big ur v6?? and i'm like its not a v6, its a rotary engine......whats a rotary engine?? you know like an RX-7 except without turbos.....his look was priceless.........

Some other guy was like, you have a supercharger in there, your car whines.....haha.

Some other people are like man that must of cost you a fortune, these people own mercedes and stuff, and i'm like no actually it cost a lot less than your car and theyre like really, what like 40K, and i'm like no......try high 20s?? and theyre like u bought ur car under 30K?? and i'm like yeah.......OoO it looks more expensive than that.

Bump time for this oldie but a goodie.

Favorite stupid comment had to be when i was going to add oil...

As I was leaving the gas station with two quarts of oil and a funnel, heading towards my car, a guy (early 20's) in the backseat of a 90's riced out honda says to his friends "why is that kid adding oil to a rotory engine, rotories dont use oil."

lol...people and their riced out hondas...think they know it all!

radarguy

I was getting a ride on the Mazda bus (courtesy ride) when the driver was explaining to another passenger how great the RX-8 was. I didn't know it redlined at 15000 rpm. You have to rev it to 7000 before you shut it off. This guy works for the dealership. I kept my mouth shut.

Not really a stupid comment, but a great indirect question.

I was taking some night classes and was being a gentlemanly by walking a cute classmate to her car, which happened to be parked next to mine. We both start our cars. After 15 seconds or so she's about to leave while I'm still sitting in mine. She rolls down her window:

Her: "Why are you warming up your new car? Can't you just start it and drive away?"
Me: "Ahh... well, it's got this special kind of motor..."
Her: "You mean like a rotary?"

We're getting married in June.

We've been a couple now for a little over a year. I'm just kidding about the marriage part, though. But! I do tell her that she had me at "You mean like a rotary?"

PSUGreySreet

Not really a stupid question either... well not a question at all, but definitely worth writing about.

At the mall the other day and I parked in the last end spot furthest away from the entrance. A guy pulls up in a Ferrari with his 8-10 year old son and parks across from my car on a diagonal taking up two spaces... as much as I comment on when I see people so this, he had a valid reason... we are both getting out at the same time and his son looks up at the dad and says, "i want to have a car like that when I get older" pointing to mine. His own dad drives a Ferrari and he commented on wanting the 8 when he gets older... made me smile! Kids these days...
