My Friend: You only need to put it in D to make it go
Me: This is a stick shift car
My Friend: They all are. Just put it in D
Me: You don't understand, this is a standard car
My Friend: What's that?[HR][/HR]​

Get an old 486 or Pentium chip and glue it to some prominent part of the engine so that it'svisible when you open the hood... then you can say your car is "chipped"... and you won't believe how many people fall for that...

i can believe this ... ppl here dun seem to want options or assume that what they see is all there is ... or the fun of learning ... although admittedly i actually dunno if the econolines or the frontier are FWD or RWD ...

Re: Funniest thing someone asked about your car (2lowA4)

I blew 5th gear in my stock Rabbit while driving down the highway awhile back...
A guy asks (seriously): how fast were you going 260 km/h??
Me: No only about 240

(he believed me too!)
Another guy at school askes: So you drive a Honda Rabbit?

Do you know that the Frontier is a pick-up truck and an econoline is a full-size van?? If not, that is excusable.

Re: Funniest thing someone asked about your car (MGQ)

quote:[HR][/HR]Lady at gas station: Is that one of those New Beetles? (this was 1999)
Me : Um, nah, it's a 72
Everyone who talks to me about my car: The engines in the back right?
Me : Yeah. (these people are joking right?)
also funny car story: I was in high school talking about cars with this guy with an 82 cadillac seville, lamenting about how our cars don't allow us to slip into the crowd in the parking lot, and he says:
"I want to ask my Dad if my car is a V8 or not, but I don't want to because he will be like "Hey you think your going to race that thing?!"" I
I just told him almost all Cadillacs are V8s.'
'
No one ever asked me if my car was a Honda though

I got asked more than once if my New Beetle had the engine in the back.

Re: Funniest thing someone asked about your car (cougar)

This was after a previous attempt at describing my car to someone who had never even HEARD of a Corrado after he questioned me about my Corrado Club shirt.
Guy in class: They come in station wagon versions right?
Me: Station wagon versions?
Guy in class: Yeah, you know, w/ the back that opens up and it's flat
Me: *turns back around and faces the professor*
Utterly incredible. I'm assuming he was talking about a GTI.
The best are the "What's under the hood of that?" questions.

Re: Funniest thing someone asked about your car (gin8122)

the funniest comments come up when u have an M coupe.
My bud (sealobo on the 'tex) just got his M coupe, and he picks up a friend in his car, she's a female.
First thing she asked, "Is this a sports car??"

Re: Funniest thing someone asked about your car (VarLordahl)

my roomie told me he saw a Jetta hatchback driving around on campus...
no one outside the VW circle ever knows a passat from a jetta...
"so how much is that car? 25...26 thousand?"
"actually...start at around 15."
"<jaw drops>" <--- me and many people.
you know apparently the boyfriend of my ex is a super car wizard...so much so that he took his "rented" audi 1.8T A4 with 320 horsepower, and went street racing in las vegas, and beat all kinds of Mustang GT's, and Corvettes. Needless to say I said nothing, and suddenly remembered i needed to go to the bathroom.
me: hmm...sounds like a diesel (as a jetta tdi rolls by, saw it from the front)
girl: volkswagen doesn't make diesels...
me: <insert 10 minute explanation of TDi engine and all its specifications>
me: so you have a new passat?
girl: yup...i love it
me: <should i ask what engine? no...> do you use premium gas.
girl: yeah! my car was all funky without it...
me: ahhh...the 1.8T
girl: huh?
me: nevermind.
