Hope no one has started a thread like this yet...

Have you ever been asked, "What is it?"

Well, this weekend while in Niagara Falls, NY; two different people asked this question.

So many people just stare and love my 8... Add your stories...

The day i bought my car, actually when i was at the bank with the seller, standing outside by the car, a lady drove up and said it looked amazing and asked what kind of car it was. it made me feel really good about buying it.

people used to ask me what kind of car it is, not anymore though.

these days, it's usually, "got any mods?"

The answer is, "Yes. all of them."

EXCELLENT STORIES GUYS!! I've also been asked:

Is that the new kind of engine? I just say yes and leave it to that. I also get a lot of,

"Wow! That's a nice car."

When I tell people it's an RX8 they say: "What?" Then I just tell them it's a Mazda!

so i was filling up my gas one time and this guy rolls up and asks if im rolling on 18's and im like, "no, they're 19's" and hes like "da amn" and rolls off.

I was in Montana at a Denny's and I was asked "Is that one of them new Porsches?" I replied with a "No, it's one of them new wankels." He just nods his head and smiles and I continued heading into the restaurant.

Always reply with "It's just a civic with a body kit". I debadged my RX7 FC and lots of people think it's a Porsche 924 or wathever theyre called.

hahaha

I get asked the usual, "what kind of car is it?" from the ladies, and "is it fast?" from noobs.

tons of necks being broken though. i especially love seeing little kids point at my car and i can read their lips when they say, "look at the car" or "yellow car" haha. it's awesome.

my favourite : this guy is walking along the footpath looking at my car - he walks straight into a telephone pole and almost knocks himself out . Kinda reminded me of the old slapstick silent movies

a cholo asked me if my car was a viper

The misses and her friend were at the park when some young boys walked up to admire the car. They stopped and asked about it, as they walked off one told his friends he'd heard those cars can go over 200 mph.

Once I had a cop pull up beside me at a light and asked "What kind of Porsche is that" I just smiled and told him it was a Shinka... He said damn I picked the wrong job. Light changed, I honked and rolled off. I Love it when people ask eventhough I try to be modest.

"Damn, thats tight"!!!! "Is it fast?"...I smile and say "She'll move a little bit"
