I had a similar experience. An older guy is walking around my car in a parking lot, and as I walk up, he says, "Nice car... a honda, huh?" We talked a little bit and he asks if it's a six cylinder. I tell him it's a four, and he said, "That's too bad. It sure looks nice, but you should have bought it with a six cylinder. My new "z" has a six; must be much faster than yours. But that's okay, it looks nice, though." ... and walks away.

I didn't have the heart to tell the old man his car is really slow.

 

Aren't ignorant people so cute? I love it when people equate the number of cylinders to the speed of the car. "I have six and you have four so I, naturally, am faster than you." Hey butthead, have you ever heard of technology? Hmmm... with this logic I should be able to just go buy an 8 cylinder car and go race with the boys in NASCAR. Cool!

Our little four cylinder can whip most eight's out there as well as the stock Z's six. Jeez, ignorant people are so cute. The only cure in this case is to make them get in and show them what a little engineering can do for a "little" four cylinder.
