Default Nice car

I was just at Taco Bell getting some take out, when I got to the window. the guy was like "Hey, nice car", I went "Thanks". Some guy from the kitchen yelled out "What car is it?". He replied "Dont know man, there is a S2000 emblem". He passed me my food. Then I said "It's a Honda", petal to the metal, drove away like a bat out of hell. =)

I've had people say "That's a honda?" Because they never realized Honda even made a 2 seat roadster/sports car. It probably doesn't help that I have the S-badges. I need to get after market rims and lose the H-Logos to add to the confusion.

I've gotten that too. Some washy lookin' girl at the gas station. I have all original badges, but she saw the H on the wheels and had no clue.

Back when we bought the car, my wife's co workers actually insisted that Honda doesn't make a RWD car, and that she must be wrong about it. She actually called me 'cause they convinced her to second-guess herself.

I remember a few years back, I actually had an argument with my brother, who insisted his friend had a new 4-door Mini Cooper. (This was long before the Clubman, so there was no chance of confusion). I told him the Mini was only a 2-door, and they don't offer any other body styles. He insisted, and actually got upset that I kept calmly telling him he was wrong. He was so sure, and so angry.

He finally admitted he was wrong when he couldn't prove otherwise.

haha try this.... Some BMW Customer was talking to me...

Oh so you drive an S2000? I test drove one, which one do you have....

The Automatic one?

I said Ummm no 6 Speed

Then he said oh okay, must be the 6cylinder one then.


I stayed quiet, then I told him to hold on and that I will get him a sales person.
