In the same idea as the thread I was talking to a NEW Honda saleslady and I told her that Honda/Acura had nothing I wanted anymore and mentioned the S and NSX and she had never even heard of the NSX ! Holy smokes where do they find these people?

One of my college professors saw me parking one day and said "Damn, how did you afford a Porsche?"

Most people just tell me, "Nice car," as they stare at it trying to figure out what it is. I've gotten the BMW comment once.

I beat a 350z a few weeks ago. After the race, the driver rolled down his window and said,"I raced you because I thought I would win. I thought you were driving a Miata."

Years ago at a gas station a guy asked me if it was a BMW ?

I replied "no....it's a Honda ; I bought it to drive it ,not let it sit in the shop"

The first time I saw this car I was a kid...I thought it was a new Porsche Boxster or something. Can't blame the untrained eye.

I get BMW, Porsche and Miata most of the time. I've realized alot of people are completely clueless about this car.
