I have heard its one of those new BMW's a few times.

But the best was a car full of kids turning into my neighborhood when I was turning out, and they said,
"Damn! Look at that Viper!"

That made me smile

Some people have thought it was a Cadillac Eldorado, but their attitudes changed once they saw the Buick ParkAvenue "logos" I put all over it

I would have asked what he thought it was and if he said a Porsche, I would have said, you are just too smart officer. Court date comes up, go and fight it. He wrote the wrong vehicle down and here is a Honda catalog with my car in it. You clould always say when you "agreed" it was another car, you were being sarcastic.

Hey is that the new 2000 Sivic, hence Sivic 2000?

Why yes, the even spell it with an "s" so no one mispronounces it anymore.

I can't count how many times a car has passed me and i see either the driver or passenger strain their neck to look back for the emblem on the front of the car. Thanks to Rick it just confuses them more. I get 10x as many "What is that"s to "Is that a (enter name here)"...
