Whats the dumbest thing any ones asked about your 8
 
def one of the most asked is how many cylinders is it.

Are those shifters on the steering wheel? No those are the stereo volume controls.

I got asked once if it had four or six rotors...at least he knew it didn't have pistons.

Other dumb questions include "is it fast?" and "is that yours?" (like what, I stole it?)

But the dumbest question of all is "can I drive it?" (HELL no)

i wouldnt say this was asked of me but it was deff the dumbest thing i have ever heard.. i'll make it as short as i can.... i was at a local car show.. around 300+ cars there... and i had my Rx parked next to my GF's TA we had just finished cleaning them and walked away to go register. as we were coming back we noticed a couple infront of it.. talking and pointing. (typically not unusual at a car show) so we walked up semi behind them close enough to hear the guy talk to the woman.. we guesstamate them to be in their 20's the guy kept pointing under the hood and we destinctly heard him say to her very confidently that it was a small block v-8 under there.. and that it should be pushing an easy 400hp the woman goes.. under that cover ? he said yeah its a nasty car.. it could beat that Trans am next to it. its the multi port that makes so much power. those renesis motors from FORD are bad.. i couldnt hold it in anymore i bust up laughing the dude looks back and says what the "f" you laughing at. i didnt wanna start a fight but i couldnt help it my comment was short and sweet.. "im laughing at your ignorance" long story short.. lol we had a 10 minute debate about my car leading from its a rotary to whats that to an explaination to how would you know... to finally saying its my car i would hope i would know. to him shutting up and walking away feeling like dumbass. he seriously tried to argue with me to save his pride for his woman who literally shook her head at him as he did this.. some people.. i mean i hate admitting that my car isnt stupid fast but most the time people dont care that it handles perfectly they just wanna know the straight line.. lol

is that a viper?

No questions yet -- I've had it less than three weeks -- but my 20-year-old daughter's first comment was "I bet you get a speeding ticket in the first week."

She lost that bet, WHEW! :)

Two guys walking by my car, "Hey, is that a painted black hood?" "No, It's Carbon Fiber" "Oh, It looks awesome!" "Yeah, it's a factory option."

was it meant as an insult? cause I would have been insulted quite a bit.

t.c. 09-18-2008 12:50 AM

cousin- "so how many cylinders does it have?"
me- "it's a rotary engine. it has rotors instead of pistons."
cousin- "so is it a V6?"

laythor 09-18-2008 12:53 AM

"Is that thing fast?"

huzer21 09-18-2008 01:06 AM

"Do you like it?"

djcharlee 09-18-2008 01:22 AM

By Far "1.3 wow must be great on gas" Is my top misnomer.
How many cylinders? is the most annoying.

Socket7 09-18-2008 01:30 AM
