Guy at our on-base "do it yourself" auto shop:
Guy: "Looks like you might need to rotate your tires."
Me: "Actually the fronts are a different size than the rears, you can't rotate them on this car."
Guy: "What kind of car is this???"
Me: Pontiac grand prix
Guy: "That's really weird"
Me: "Yeah I guess it was to handle the torque steer and get some traction"
Guy: "Yeah I still don't get it"
Me: "It's a FWD V8"
Guy: "Ohhhhhhhhhhh ok.......I've never heard of that before."
I've also gotten before:
Friend: "Why did you put huge drilled rotors on your car?"
Me: "They're factory, that's how they come"
Friend: "Holy ****, that's serious"

I've also gotten "what the hell do you have in that thing?" or "what's in there a 350?" and the most famous one "that's fast as hell for a v6". Also a guy that put the exhaust on my car said, "this super charged v6 sounds really good" i said "its got a 5.3 v8" he says "jesus this things gots some *****..how fast is this thing? its gotta be pretty fast"

I got tired of people asking if it's a V6. Every time I go to the track.
"Is that the S/C V6?"
"That's the V6 right?"
"3.8?"
"Sounds good for the V6"
Problem fixed.

Mustang Owner: "Wanna run 'em?"
and
Me: "I hung with you pretty good there"
GT500: "Not really."
Me: "Well, you didn't come around until after 60..."
GT500: "Yeah, well you've got that 350."
Me: "What?!? Man, I'm only a 325...and I'm front wheel drive."
GT500: "Man, I feel kinda bad now..."
