Default How does this happen?

The other night, I came out of a restaurant and walked into the parking garage to see an AP2 suzuka blue parked next to my AP1 silverstone. Turns out, its owner was only a few seconds behind me, so when he approaches, (as any enthusiast in the S brotherhood would) I strike up a conversation. For the sake of a visual image, my car is tastefully modded, silverstone on black; he's about 25, new car, frat-boy type.
Me-"The suzuka is yours?"
Him-"No, it's a Honda."
Me-"Uhh...yeah me too. So do you have anything going on under the hood?"
Him-"I have the VTEC."
Me-"Nevermind, man. Have a nice night."

I don't know about you guys, but I was completely astounded by this exchange. I guess he just wanted a sharp-looking roadster and an S is what his parents bought him. Still, how does someone know nothing about the automobile they are operating? Especially a thoroughbred machine such as the one we all love? Oh well. I got a laugh so maybe you will.

lol, I've gotten that response too!

The car I encountered was also a Suzuka (is this a trend? I hope not, lol) j/k

Well, I'm conversing with some friends in a parking lot and I see a middle aged couple roll up in a lowered S. As they walk by, I ask the gentleman what type of suspension he was running. He then says, "It came like that, these cars come lowered." I then look over at my car, two spots away and just nodded.

Life is a complete bliss to some peeps. Some might say it's a good thing because they never had anything real they have to worry over, but I say they're missing out on the real joys of life, though you have to take the pain that comes with it.

*note: I'm not sure how my reply became crazy philosophical, but I already typed it, so I'm just going to click add reply.

Tonight at a car meet, I had somebody look under my hood and ask if I had a turbocharger (yes I had the hood open). WTF?! Yes, it's in the trunk, I decided not to use an intercooler because those are junk, I kept the heat shield on the turbo manifold for weight reduction, and my BOV is hidden where my radio used to be He has a pretty nice Integra, but I guess he hasn't been to enough car meets to know that a car with a K&N short ram clearly bolted to the throttle body probably doesn't have a turbocharger.
