Just wondering, theres a similar thread for the FD guys. Granted, our cars don't get too much attention but I'd thought I'd just mention.

So far, my stock '88 FC has been called a Miata (from my non-car type friends.) And this one guy thought I had a Porsche 944.

My old co-worker also ask how many cylinders it had too. All this from owning it for a month and I only drive on weekends.

Any other stories?

 

Porsche, k-car, piece of ****. I constantly get asked how many cylinders the car has. I say none, then they are like oh so its a v8 eh... and I say no. Oh so its a v6? No... I4? NO! Jesus people are stupid

 

I have ppl thinking my car is a Porsche 944, been having the same problem as dr0x, ppl just don't get it when you tell them there are no cylinders in there.

 

I had time to think about it. The funniest thing I have ever heard was this.

My friend came over one day when I had my new motor on the floor assembling it. He hadnt seen the car yet and we were talking about it. He was like "thats turbo right?" and then asked where the motor was (he was standing 3 ft from it watching me bolt **** on). He thought the motor was the turbo...

 

Rice machine. And then i beat him in a race

 

have had people thinking it was a new car (ie, just bought from the showroom)
otherwise nothing I can think of...

 

It's been called the poor mans corvette before :P

 

my worse one was "nice car what year prelude is that?" i just looked at the dude like, wtf does honda even make a vert model? (becides the s2000)

Some guy in a pickup called my car "The Power Puff Girls car" and then tried to race me. The joke was on him.

 

my car has been called dope

 

some people called 240sx or supra

 

I call mine a Piece of ****.

I cant wait till shes done..

 

My FC has been called a Porsche by amateurs and a Lotus by those who envy! Seriously. I got to get some pics up.

 

Some has thought my car to be a 240 from the front and a third gen. Camaro from the side. Once and only once has my car been refered to as an Integra, here's the story:

I blew my water seal and was at a gas station with my friends with my hood open talking about my car. Some guy pops out of nowhere, stands behind a bush like 5 feet away from my car, and he slowly creeps towards the engine bay. "I overheard you guys talking and I think it's your waterpump. Same thing happen to my car." He then looks at the motor and says "I had a car like this, yup, Integra." HAHA, what an idiot, HAHA

 

I got pulled over by the cops for speeding, and on the ticket it said:


"Nissan Rx-7"

In general, very few people have any idea what kind of car mine is. Most often, I get "nice Miata". I F-ing hate that!! When a very pretty girl walks up and asks "wow, that is such a cool car, what is it", I tell her it is a very special car from Mazda, extremely rare (it is easy because where I live I have only seen ONE other one). I am going to strip the badges when I repaint, and then tell the girls it is a rare Ferrari. That ought to impress them!

 

A misubichi six cylinder car.

blah

 

I had a guy at work ask me hey what year is your daytona?

 

What OTHER people call it? Sweet, sexy, stunning, amazing.

What I call it? Trish. There's an agressive stripper at a local peeler's parlour named trish. Long story

 

i have gotten probe, that really hurt. and supra. boo

 

carwash guy called it a Porsche

 

I heard Porsche once, a loooong time ago.


I don't know why it's different up here (Ontario,) but when I tell people I drive an RX-7 most say, "That's with the Wankel, right?"

It's interesting that they almost never say, "rotary."

 

no one has mensioned FORD PROBE!
