anyone ever ask you this?
They are looking at your car, you tell em its a rotary engine, and they say, what do you think about the rx-8, and im like uh it looks good but i think its slow. Then they say "but it has twin rotors..." its funny cause it makes me think to myself, this person thinks my rotary is running off one rotor. anyone else get that? just wondering.
some people just dont know,
ooo, and dont you hate it when people confuse your FD for a miata?
or or, "hey nice rx-7. is it turbo?" no...its TWIN turbo (for most case)
but anyways has anyone else seen that BEst motoring sayronara Rx-7 and Supra, wow, how nice is that fugawaza or whatever Rx-7, it tottaly killed all the others on turns, but it was at a horsepower disadvant but i think if it were equal hps, rx7 woulda gotten a way bigger lead and probably would win

Hee hee hee,
I gave a ride to one of my pretty co-worker (gal, btw). When she saw the car for the first time, she was like "WOW! Super duper cool" She asked me a lot about it. then, the day later she was in my car, of cause. She asked "Is that car the same as yours?" I was like "heck no!, That's Viper...costs 80K and very fast" But, I think about....
Moral of this story, some gals just can't know ****!

From the kid up the street from me who drives a Honda with under-body lights and a fart-can: "Why do you have two radiators"?
From a woman w/ way too much make-up and two little dogs yapping in her car at the gas station: "I like the convertible Miatas better".
From the Mazda Service Manager who was making small talk while trying to get my business for a clutch change: "Wow, I haven't seen one of those for a long time".

One time In Vegas I pulled up to valet at Luxor and the guy was like "nice car". He parked my car next to the Ferrari's, Bently's, ect...I thought wow, that's pretty cool that he did that, he must really appreciate FD's. Later that night, I picked up my car and noticed "Viper" written on the slip...LOL. Makes me laugh how dumb some people are...
By the way, I get " Is that turbo?" All the time! or "What car is that?"

Most common comment's I get is if my car is a Viper.
Once at arby's I was sitting in the fd and 2 guys in their 30's come by and say, "nice ferrari you got there".
The fd is such beutiful car that to some people that doesnt know about cars might think its a exotic car.

I thought it was one of those Mazda's" .......... what a pinehead

You guys are mean! 
It's not a car that's seen everyday, so you gotta understand even reasonably intelligent people probably don't have the least idea of what it is. There's no excuse for the dealerships, of course. And shame on Leno! One of us should try to get on his show!
I've had people ask what I paid for my new "viper" a few times though. That's the most common one. Never heard the one-rotor comment though, that's new.

recently my car was broken into and they tried to steal it, for some reason they didnt get it. so now with a busted column i bring it to the body shop, we couldnt get it running due to a dead battey so they assured me they would get it all taken care of, i go back the next day and the guy tells me, hey its all set we got it running, sounds real loud and rough, you must have a big cam in there, im like no cam, car doenst have a cam, so hes like oh its a stock cam, me... no cam car has no cam, engine is designed with no cam, pistons, valves, rods... this guy gave me the most dumbfounded look ive ever seen. and ive also been asked the viper, ferrari, questions aswell

I was at a local eatery waiting for my take out food when this Marine came up to me and said, "looks like your car's burning oil. Better get the rings changed"
I asked him why and he replied, "Because above your muffler, it's black. That's a sign that your engine burning oil and you need to replace your rings".
So I told him it's a rotary. He looked at me with this look like, "I know that stupid".
I picked up my food and left.
