currently deployed in the Marine Corps, my car was at my buddies house parked on the street and it got hit. Tow company sent by my insurance came with a regular tow truck instead of a flatbed. Told them it was AWD guess they didnt understand. Guy asks what do you mean you need a flatbed to tow it? you would think working for a tow company they would get it

Seriously though, get that all the time, "parents must be rich to buy you that car, huh?" Me: "Actually I've spent the last 5 years in the AirForce, and I paid for this car with the money I banked spending the last year flying combat missions in Afghanistan." They usually just sheepishly walk away at that point

On the topic of punk kids questioning where we get the money....
I was at a red right outside the local high school when a car pulled up and this teenaged b**ch with braces rolls down her window and says:
"How much did daddy pay for that?"
so I reply:"Nothing, how much did daddy pay for your braces?"
the look on her face was priceless.

I got pulled over for my exhuast being to loud and i had my plate in very hard to see spot. The cop comes up to me and says the bull s**t and yeah yeah. He goes back to run my stuff comes back and says what kind of car is this?
Me: Its a MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION
Cop: Ok I'll be right back.
Me: Ok officer
Cop comes back: He looks at my steering console and says what's with the Gauges?
Me: Its a boost gauge and AEM wideband, my car is turbocharged. I guess the cop knowing that Im 18 leans down and gives me the. Well when I was your age I had a honda civic with an aftermarket body kit and a loud muffler. After that happened he said Ill let you off. I said thanks and rolled the window up so I didnt lose my mind infront of him.
People who think honda civics and evos are on a similar level. Crack me up

The best one I got was from the dealership itself. This was when I first bought my Evo VIII. Had 4 miles on the clock, brand spankin' b*tch new...
I had already searched up on the Evo platform and found out what I needed to know, the basics.
So when I was at the dealership, I inquired about the car and holy ****..that guy effed it up so bad...jesus..and to add more irony to this awkwardly ironic situation/answer, the hood was open right infront of us.
The conversation..
Me: So what kind of engine is in it?
Sales Person: uhh, its a V6...Hey Jimmy, is this thing turbo or superchaged.
Jimmy: Its Turbo with 400hp.
Sales Person: So yea, its pretty powerful, V6 Twin Turbo 400hp and with simple parts, which you can buy through us, you can get 600hp. (I am guessing he was talking about RalliArt parts..LOL)
Me: Cool. So its pretty much like a Supra (I was going along with the stupidity that was just oozing out of this genius' mouth, with LOLs ringing in my head).
Sales Person: Its better than a Supra. Those were 4cyl turbo and they had a lot of problems, thats why they discontinued them.
Me: Wow! Never knew that. So is this AWD?
Sales Person: I think so. And have you seen the interior. Those seats are from Ferrari's.
Me: Ok. You have been a great help. Thanks. LOL and walked away and to the next dealership.
**Came back the next day and thank god the idiot wasn't there and bought the car through someone else.**

I still have yet to go to a dealership, although I need to to get some oil filters, but I just don't get it - blows my mind.

Many years ago when I bought my Evo VII, I had no idea where to start. I decided to take it to the dealership to have it inspected. They took one good look at my car and told me that they have never seen that type of car. He proceeded to look up the VIN and came back with, "I can't find it in the database. By the looks of it, I'd say it is a Mirage that someone spent a lot of money upgrading!"
I drove away. For the following few months, every dealership pretty much told me the same thing.
When I moved to Germany, I was in luck! Those mechanics not only recognized it right away, they had one in the garage getting work done to it!
I was a total newb taking it to an American Mitsubishi dealer. Never again.
