I'm still laughing about the guy that made a comment about my car in downtown Orlando. Chad and I were driving around after the Tampa Super Meet and we overheard a guy look at us and then say "rich boys". I just wanted to be like "Dude, seriously? My car is worth 10 grand, maybe."

 

I had a guy once ask me if it was a Boxster...LOL

One thing I HATE with a passion is when older woman comment on the car and says "Its so cute"!! NOTHING is worse than calling a mans sports car "CUTE" LOL

 

My wifes friend called my car cute once. I took her for a ride on a back road, did three donuts, and then she said wow.

-L

 

I was surprised the first person that commented on my car was an older woman in her 60's, and she said "Excuse me, is that a Honda?" yes "It looks really nice!"

 

I've had people mistake it for a Z4 before, but luckily not a Miata. I would probably facepalm right in front of them and continue with my business if that happened . Though at a stop light one time I had a fellow in a minivan ask what kind of car I had. I responded "its a Honda S2000". He then replies "oh a Honda 2000?". Me, "S2000". Him, "oh ok a honda 2000 type S".

 

I got my first, "Is that a Miata" not too long ago, from a couple girls.... Actually kinda pissed me off cause it was followed by "...Miatas are chick cars." The only response i could mumble was, "It's too sexy to be a Miata."

 

if people only knew, its better to say nothing than to speak and remove all doubt that they are idiots! lol. the big misconception is honda has never advertise these cars so most don't know any better.

 

Ha, love it. I have so many older people, like gentleman in their late 50s and 60s that compliment my car. I always feel good because I know they grew up drooling over american muscle, and it's a big compliment to me if they like it.

And yea, we all get the Miata thing, some people are just car illiterate.
