Whats the dumbest question(s) people ask you about your car?
Did a search and didn't find anything on the topic so, I made one. :banana:
Tell us some of the things that made you laugh or cry. It can be a question or a comment/remark.
"Can I drive it"
"That's an Evo right" ( I have a WRX)
And my favorite, I get asked on almost a daily basis: "Do a burn out"

Dumbest question(s):
1. "Is the hood scoop functional?" (No, dumbass. It has a hole in the hood under it for good looks. As if you can't see into the hood scoop! DUH!)
2. "That's the STi, right?" (No. The badges, stickers, and interior are lying.)
3. "Does it have VTEC?" (Can I kill you now?) Yes, that's right. Somebody asked me if it has "VTEC." When I explained that it didn't, the reply was, "You should get VTEC. It would be faster than it is now!" (Wait, there isn't a Honda motor out there that makes over 300 hp is there, aside from their Grand Prix motors, correct? Even in the NSuX there wasn't a 300 hp motor.

Bought the car last saturday, these were asked today! The first day I drove it to work:
1.) "What the hell is that thing?"
2.) "Does the hood scoop work?"
3.) "Whats the thing on the back for?"
4.) and......"Does it go very good?"
Needless to say, I work with a bunch of rednecks that drive f350's and would rather fish than have sex.

Went to the audio shop looking for upgrade speakers and the guy asked "what type of car do you have?". I've heard all the dumb questions and comments so I tried to put it "simple" and said..."IMPREZA". He asked..."who makes that??!". I said "SUBARU"! He looked puzzled and with a confused expression he asked..."IS THAT A PICK UP TRUCK OR S.U.V.???!!!"

One of my two REX's is an "02 WRX wagon with limo tint on the rear window and sides. I caught a guy at the gas station trying to look in. Needless to say, I questioned his curiousity. He said, "I didn't know Volkswagen was making an S.U.V.!"...he added, "Is the engine still in the rear?!"...AND before I could take a breath, he continued!..."I can't see through the glass!...Is this that thing they call "carbon-fiber" or does it come "painted" from factory??!"
Now, you can't blaim me, I smiled (as in being polite) and said..."It's my wife's car and I don't know the specifics of it!" So, faster than you can say "dumbass", I was gone before I caught whatever it is that these people have got!!!
God forbid that our REX's are ever stolen!...cause I'm affraid of how the nice "officer" might describe our Subie!
My advice...give them a picture of it...and don't confuse them with "alien words" like WRX, STI or All-Wheel-Drive!!!
