What's the most rediculous comment you've ever received about your car???
Monday morning:
Guy: "Hey how long does it take for your car to turn off?"
Me: "5 Minutes"
Guy: "WHOA ! ! ! Thats crazy! ! !.............. why?"
Me: "Because I dont want to fry the turbo"
Guy: "That thing is a turbo? I didnt know you can do that"
This morning I parked as usual TT still running and get all the way inside. this guy runs into my office and says in a panic
"Is that your grey mitsubishi thing out there?"
Me: "Yeah"
Guy: "You left your car on"
Me: "I know"
Guy: "Well..... uh...... ar....are....aren't you going to turn it off?"
Me: "No"
Guy: "Why not?"
Me: "Because I have a turbo timer"
Guy: "Really?"
Me: "Yeah it will just turn itself off so that the oil can cool down and not fug up the turbo"
Guy: "Wow, that things gotta move huh?"
Me: "Yeah its pretty quick I got some work done"
Guy: "I might just have to race you, I got an Audi S6 V10"
Me: "Yeah, sure"

The Porsche comments are the best though:
I wanna **** your car on a daily basis. Especially at bars etc
Also on an almost daily basis: "that was nice of your dad to let you borrow his car" Most of the time I just kindly say its mine.
"Look at that AWESOME car daddy!" "Yeah
" 
comments like those makes me regret that i did not get the elise insted... but then i go off road and i feel better

I finally got the Subaru comment you all have been talking about. The guy looked at me sideways when I said I had a Lancer Evolution. As soon as I mentioned AWD and Turbo he was like "Oh it's a Subaru", I just laughed and told him about this thread. He laughed and said he felt like an idiot. So of course I told him don't feel so bad a lot of people do it. Then he asked me what the differences were so I decided to toot my horn a little and just gave a simple answer. "Not much, they're pretty much the same power,weight...etc. Mine's just faster, handles better, and looks better." .....Hey he had it coming....hahaha
when i first picked up my 8 i called my gf and told her that i got a new car. so she comes over and is lookin at it and says with disgust...."it looks really ricey.." i started tellin her about the turbo and the awd, the handling and she got bored right after i said turbo. so i take her for a ride to the other side of town...five minutes after we get on the freeway shes like..."wow...this car is really fast..it feels like a mini airplane." now she loves my evo.
i must say though and im sure you guys agree but isnt it the best feeling smokin somebody that doesnt know what an evo is? like when a srt charger or a hemi tries to race you.

But for another funny Porsche story:
Last night I went out with some friends, mainly as a 5th wheel for two couples though there were a few other people there. Anyway, long story short the two girls wanted to ride with me from one bar to another (gorgeous girls, wearing "bar" outfits, you get the idea). Almost to the other bar they start screaming they need to pee, I pull into a busy gas station next to a car full of 18-25 yr-old guys. The door opens and "my" two girls pile out of the car, the look on the guys' face was priceless, and then they all started laughing real hard and then the one in the driver's seat gave me a nod. I thought it was really funny, especially since I never plan nor desire to "use" the car to get girls but everyone assumes I do (or says I should), though maybe you had to be there.
1)my cousin asked me "Do you drift it?" my reply "Nope" then he says "You should really get into drifting. Your car was built to drift!"
2)some guy looking at my car in a parking lot says REALLY SARCASTICALLY "Niiiiiice car!" then jumps in his vette.
3)just cruising on the highway a vette pulls up, the driver shakes his head and gave me a
he punched I punched it the end result was his passenger laughing at him.

Just happened a few minutes ago, from a C5 with guy driving and girl in the passenger seat at a light he sayd that i should have bought a real motor or something then revs... Me on the 2-step at this point, light green... i am gone. The next light, the girl in the passenger seat asks me if she can get a ride in a "real" car as she is laughing and pointing at the driver in the vette.
When I was 20, I had a vette and rolled to a 7-11:
Old man - "Your Dad has a nice Vette!"
me- " My dad can't afford a vette!"
Old man - "How old are you??"
Me- "20"
Old man- "How the hell did you afford that!"
Me- (hands business card "Mechanical Engineer") "working"
Old man- "Damn computer age...!"
Me- "Have a nice day!" (jumps in car and starts it)
Old man- "Its supercharged too!!!"
Me- "Yeah!"
