What are some strange reactions people have had to your car(and what kind of car is it)?

idea stolen from here:

So you want a supercar? Part 1 - The Basics (http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/so-you-want-a-supercar-part-1-the-basics-1278358452)

Not all of us drive high end sports cars, but I'm sure we've all had weird encounters.

[lowside67]

Rofl... one of the LONG comments is about a young guy who is "getting ready to buy a supercar"... then later on he reveals that car is a 1997 Mercedes SL600. Some people sure need a reality check.

[swfk]

At Aberdeen in Cantonese,
"Did someone let all the air out of his tires?"
"Is that broken?"

Elsewhere in English,
"So do you scrape a lot?"
"TWERK IT MILEY!!"

My friends,
"You need wheels asap..."

how many pistons does it have?

in mission once... "does that thing have a hemi?" hahaha.

and on the highway many times: "OH MY GOD!! YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE!!!!!!! PULL OVER!!" then I shout back, "ITS NORMAL, DONT WORRY"! then usually ppl just give me a very confused look, shake their head or both :lawl:

[LP700-4]

Was with a friend and his car has a turbo timer installed. (Leaves the car on for 1 minute after taking key out)

We get out of the car, start walking towards store.

Some lady screams at us "You do know you left your fucking car on right?"

Friend just goes "Yep!"

[StylinRed]

bunch of girls and seniors thought my celica was a ferrari when i first got it one guy seemed offended when he found out it was a toyota :lol

havent had any unusual reactions with my audi though

[Grim]

true story; and im not making this shit up.

parked my s14 in front of MCD on bridgeport, grabbed my ice coffee and decided to have a smoke before entering my vehicle, a man in his mid-late 40`s in a maroon caravan drove behind my car sticking his head out the window looking at my s14.

my first impression is òh shit, this fucker gonna high jack me in front of mcd.

He then looked at me and asked, `this car yours`
I answered, yes

an awkward pause.... all of sudden he gives me the thumbs up and said, good car; very good car. do you mind i ask how much these things go for now.

i replied, this is a 97, but for this generation 240sx it could range from 4000-7000 depending on he condition.

he smiled and commented as he cruised away slowly, keep it in good shape; really good car.

made my day for the rest of the week.

the end :`)



PS: to join the CELICA bandwagon crew.

my ex thought my celica was some kind of ferrari or porsche when i first picked her up. she thought my car was dope, until her ex pointed out it was just a toyota and its slower than his RSX. that piece of shit.

[Ikkaku]

Celica has been called Ferrari and a toddler pointed and said to his dad 'it's the batmobile!'

[inv4zn]

Have remote starter. Was walking out of Tim Hortons at like 1am, with the car already started, and saw a homeless man walking around my car. I walk up and say can I help you? And he goes your car started itself man! That's some Knight Rider shit! Does it talk??

So we laughed and I offered to buy him some food, which he accepted.

I also have a band-aid vinyl covering a ding in my rear quarter panel, and so many kids that see it scream mommy look that car has a bandaid!! And then the adults that say "did you know you have a band-aid on your car?"

Genesis coupe with wing badges.

A lot of people don't even know what a gen coupe is let a lone get confused with a different badge.

I get my fair share of thumbs up and I had one eastern European guy walk around my car 4 times while I was pumping gas and talking to me with a heavy accent. :lol

Why do people ask "how fast have you gone" It's like asking a drug dealer how much coke he has sold. Speeding is breaking the law and it's not something you want to brag about to strangers.

"Nice car, is that one of those Acura TSX?"
"Damn is that the new Accord?"

MR2. SW20.
Tom's Scoop.

Robson/Bute. Summer.

Was parked on Robson. My friends and I went out for a smoke/pay for parking.
As we were walking back to the restaurant, a girl pointed at my car and asked her boyfriend "What's that thing in the back?" Guy: "It's a snorkel. The engine's in the back."

---

Was on my way home from a dinner downtown. Friend calls me to pick him up from Gossip. Pulled up. Long story short. Spotted my friend some cab fare, and brought some random back to her place :fullofwin:

--
When driving with a buddy's R32, I get reactions from girls, and he gets them from dudes. He hates me.

And a bunch of random reactions. Loud BOV, random flames from the exhaust, Turbo timer, and people thinking it's some kinda exotic.

But by far, the most reactions I got from any of the cars I've owned, was my SC400 with the giant ricey "I'M KILLING IT" Sticker on the Rear Window. It was funnier when my Mom borrowed the car, and people would pull up next to her and start revving, only to see a little old Chinese lady behind the wheel.

[Inaii]

how many pistons does it have?

Get asked this one a lot. Also "I think there's something wrong with your cams, they sound weird."

"Is that a 944?" I'll give them this, it's got a similar front end.

My brother was picking me up from work downtown on a saturday night a few years ago (I used to work at the Commodore) and one of my co-workers turns to me and goes "is that an R34?? I thought those weren't legal in Canada yet!" I lol'd and went home without explaining that it was an S5 rx7.

Best comment I've had with my FB "What the hell is it?!" It was de-badged and apparently no one knows what first gen rx7's look like :okay:

one time i was heading up east harrison fsr trying to make it up kookapi and over into boston bar.

i had my window rolled down and drove past a camp and one of the dudes said

A lot of folks confused my S13 with an RX7 before... Guess my GP Sports aero threw them off, lol. People always seemed to think my suspension was broken too due to the negative camber.


With my Miata now, an old timer once asked me which Ferrari it was. Not sure if he was trolling or not, but maybe he just assumed red = Ferrari, lol.
Posted via RS Mobile

[XTC_604_DKNY]

only 3 reactions I can remember...

1) Gas station filling up, guy says my tires look like they're deflated, although I'm just on low profiles (245/30/20 at the time)

2) Driving through the Cassiar Tunnel, and 2 cars pull up afterwards telling me my car sounds hotter then a Ferrari

3) Parked under a tree at friends house, bird had laxatives or something, 1/3 of my passenger side was shat on. Had to pick someone up from DT and 4 pretty hot girls yell to me "you have bird shit on your car"...followed by giggles, while I was trying to make a right turn on Thurlow and Robson :(

In my old FD.. some guy asked me if it was a new model Mazda. I guess they age well.

[mb_]

Was shooting with kaku once and some guy said "Nice Supras!" :lawl:

Was having dinner with kaku and entrax + gf and someone said "Those are nice RX-7s!" :fulloffuck:

I've gotten the odd "Is that a Ferrari?" or "What Ferrari is that?" question here and there... :fullofwin:

I was at Wal-Mart once and some employee collecting the shopping carts asked me what year my car was. Guessing he's not a car enthusiast cause he looked extremely surprised when I told him it's a 92 LOL

^What ended up happening?

[SpeedStars]

97 Prelude

So....I don't have any badges on my car except for a Vtec logo and a metal mugen emblem...That's right...nothing on there says prelude...So at school, these people walk by, and they're like...What car is this? Is it a Honda Mugen?:derp:


Also, when I drive by Elementary schools, I've got a beanie baby and some Pooh hanging off my tow hook...Attracts all the LGs :troll:

[DEADBEA7]

Apart from random compliments during gas stops and after parking, the M3 always seems to unleash the street ricer in a lot of drivers when I slowly drive past them. I'm guessing it's either because of the badge in the back or they see my boost gauge, they either end up flooring it past me or try to egg me on into a race :suspicious:

When I had my Type-R however the best reaction I got was after doing a group drive to squamish one night with friends we were hanging out at Tim Horton's and a cute girl randomly walks up to us and asks who's ITR that was. Turns out she had one before but it got stolen (she's from Seattle). She chatted with us for a little bit before leaving in her WRX (:ahwow:) with her bf (:okay:)

[KO7]

^What ended up happening?

Police would not press charges despite video evidence and ICBC finding damage caused by the liquid. Consequently, ICBC wouldn't waive deductible for my claim without police charges. No justice was served since he gave the cops the proverbial middle finger and wouldn't accept fault.

:okay:

[kwy]

That's complete bullshit.

[kwy]

If the police are just going to sit on their fucking asses, doing the same thing right back to that RV driving asshole would probably end with no repercussions for you either..not that it would be worth the time seeing as that RV is a piece of junk.

It's really frustrating to see that no justice was served, that's really disappointing to say the least.

[KO7]

Thanks, the officers assigned to my case expressed the same frustration as I did actually. I appreciated their time and concern nonetheless, and I moved on and traded in the Civic Si.

Sorry all, didn't mean to derail the thread.

Showed up to buy my black 200sx and the guy was more interested in checking out my car then trying to sell me his :D

Once had some older Filipino guy near his 40s in a dsm with HID's try to race me and my friend on our way home from Richmond. We ignored him but he followed us to our usually tim's for coffee. he got out and started asking me about my corolla, i told him that it is a Nissan and not a toyota ae86. He became annoyed and then tried to argue that it was a corolla and that nissan never made a hatch back in 85. Then i laughed and told him i must not know what car i own as i have 2... he got mad and walked to the bikers next to us and started trying to talk to them, they looked at us as we smiled and walked inside hahahahaha.

Same location a few months back i had a guy trying to buy my car, he loves it, and wanted to buy or trade for his acura that he had listed for 3 grand... he called me every few weeks to try to get me to change my mind hahaha

[kakucaekz]

Nice car! Err.. what is it?
It's a Toyota, MR2
What the hell, Toyota made that? What the hell happened to that company man!

Dude, nice car. I remember I had one when I was a kid, and ripped the shit out of it. It was so awesome. <- middle aged woman, btw. LOL.

OMG THAT CAR HAS NITROUS! <- referring to my BOV.

And yeah, the Supra and RX7 comments when I was with mb_. One guy once called my car a Nissan. So.. I guess I have a Nissan Supra RX7?

one more that i just remembered

I was in my driveway dipping a set of wheels and a random dude walks by with his wife. He starts asking me about the plastidip, and is really interested by it. He then asks if my car is for sale, and I say no, I actually just bought it a few months back. He asks to see the interior. i show him the navi screen that pops up out of the dash, and he is pretty amazed by it, haha. He asks his wife to come over and look at it but she clearly didnt have much interest in cars. A lot of people have thought the semi-motorized nav screen is really cool.

Reminds me of a time, I was in my garage with mb_ and entrax, working on our MR2s. Mine was in the shop at the time, so it was just 2 of them, one in the garage and one parked outside. A guy walks by and is like, "Whoa dudes, nice cars! MR2s, right!" Some light conversation ensued, then he says he has a limited edition FC RX7, and how it was so much faster than our cars... I forget what he said exactly, but I was just about to tell him and his family to gtfo.. Pissed me off at the time, but in retrospect, it's kinda funny.

its nice having a wink mirror sometimes "5 panel mirror"
i get to see lots of people behind pointing at my car usually with a smile on their face.. and sometimes laughing :(

the first day i had my front mount intercooler mounted before i finished boost i had some kid ask if my car was turboed when i was going to superstore... i didnt wanna feel like a chump so i said yes.. dont you see the front mount!

alot of the time i have people as how my tires dont hit the fenders.. pretty common

but most of all! random people offer to buy my car! once at a richmond meet i had a guy pull up and offer me 5g cash.. i understand at the time thats alot for my car but i lover her to much and cannot let go

and i have had a guy follow me after he saw my car at the mall to offer to buy my car, again i refused his offer...

and i guess my favorite reactions of all is a 5.0L mustang owners who embarrass themselves doing a pull with me... it never gets old seeing their dissapionted faces (in mexico on a closed course with professional drivers) of course :D

[SkunkWorks]

When I had my black 240Z it attracted a ton of attention from dudes.

So when I was at the SFU Tim Hortons one day and the cashier asked if I was the one with the black Z, my ears perked up then she (finally a chick!) went on to say, "that's so awesome! My boyfriend loves your car."

Bugeye WRX;

-Does that car have turbo?
-Is that a V6 under the hood?

I have a turbo timer as well, and people would think that I left my keys in the ignition on when I walk out of my car with the engine still running.

+1 on attention from dudes. I've had a guy in a new dodge ram honk at me and pull me over because he wanted to buy my talon tsi awd. That thing got a ton of attention from dudes in their 40s who thought it was the coolest car in their high school days

Man some of your guys stories are pretty funny

[Great68]

The Mustang will get a thumbs up, a "nice car" or other form of compliment almost every time I take it out.

Once I took the car to Bellingham to watch my little sister's soccer game, and the border guard was more interested in talking to me about my car than what I was going to the states for.

On the way back, I was idling in line and there was a woman in a hybrid civic with save the planet type hippie stickers on it. She leans out her window, pinches her nose and says "it's running kind of rich". To which i said "that's the smell of baby seal tears" or something like that. The look on her face was priceless.

Lol, I'm sure many of us are no stranger to people telling us their car is faster than ours. Outside a restaurant, guy asks who owns the g35. Says its a sweet car but his prelude would kill it because it has 400hp..

then they started yelling at each other, so i just drove off :haha:

In the Accord:

"Is that the new Sebring!?"

:okay: :lol

Actually, for such a pedestrian car, I've gotten quite a few compliments on the Accord. I've even had a few kids yell out at me with "Cool car!" over the years. A couple months ago I was driving in traffic next to some older guy in an early 90's Accord and me and him were having a conversation through the window while driving about the merritts of the 7g vs 4g. Told me the car looked good slammed and finally drove off.

[E-SPEC]

Girls: "Pull over I WANT TO SUCK YOUR DICK!"

Yes thats real life for me.

[reza]

people mistaking it for other cars(everything from ferrari to probe), not knowing what car is it, getting death stares by other "sports cars", everyone trying to race me, getting yelled at across intersections/parking lots/gas stations, speculations on my drivetrain etc.

compliments are far and few in between, but they are usually by car guys that show respect or just girls liking the exterior. almost everyone has something bad to say about it. weight, reliability, rx7/supra/300/skyline is better, etc.
i don't give a fuk. self built&tuned, and i love it to death.

it's one of the biggest attention whores, even more so when i had it straight piped(back fires, turbos spooling, bov).
car is mitsubishi gto with 97 exterior conversion.

[meowjinboo]

When I was driving my brothers maserati in downtown vancouver. I had a girl cross the street, stop dead in her tracks and walk up to the window and asked if she could have a ride.

Too easy in Vancouver.

[Lomac]

Oh, one example I had forgotten until now:

My original MX6 was pretty modified and had a slew of Cobalt Autometer gauges throughout the interior. My girlfriend at the time drove it to 7-11 one night and a bunch of girls walked up to her and asked her if it was hers. She said no, that it's mine. They then proceeded to say how rich I must be to have a car that looks like that and let her drive it without worrying about her wreck it.

:lol

[punkwax]

Back when I had my EL I had some dude try to give me advice.

"Oh, I see you're modding it.. make sure you put bigger brakes on it as well. Too many people invest in speed and don't think about how they're going to slow down."

It was actually good advice, but my response was, "Dude, it has 127hp." :lol

#3. Another late night trip to FedEx with my good bro
Washington guy asks what kind of car it is. Kinda looks at my friend so my friend goes "it's her car just to clarify"

I guess I'll add another one - sometimes I drive my dad's beige Sienna, and I was waiting for a friend in front of her apartment.

I'm sitting there on my phone, and the door opens, and some old lady gets in, sits down, and is putting on her seat belt when she sees me and nearly has a heart attack. I didn't say anything because 1) it was hilarious, and 2) I didn't want to scare her.

Anyway we had a good laugh, and seconds after a second beige Sienna pulls up behind me, as my friend comes down and sees this lady getting out of my car.

Perfect timings all around :fullofwin:

Some of the stuff I remember:
-----------------

"Can I trade my car for your car?" multiple times, from the same guy.

----------------

How is the ride?

Very nice car.

------------

A guy, that looked like a Harley Biker, at the Great Canadian VW Show, asked...

"Does that have 600+hp?" (I wish)

Which I replied, "no, that would be way too high" and said "450".

----------------

While I was in the car, parked on Alberni, a guy with his girlfriend walked by and yelled excitedly "that's an RS5!!" pulled at her GF's arm and said it again, and the GF proceeded to go into the driver side of the SLK behind my car while the guy rides shotgun. The guy continues to point. It was awkward to say the least.

-------------------

A guy and his friend at Aberdeen just came out and whiel I was getting out, proceeded to do a 360 around my car and engaged in a conversation.

"Nice car! Wow, I have a S5 over there" which I said "That's wicked" and we talked while he and his friend examined the front, sides, back, for a good 5 minutes".

----------------

At Sensha Ya car wash, I was outside the car waiting with a few patrons, and my car was just about to be done, and the VW golf's driver behind me said "nice car, how much is it, etc." and after a few minutes of talking, he said... out of the blue "I have a Lambo at home."

I was like, "ooh, nice car... So which Lambo" and he said "Gallardo", and I proceeded to go back into my car, which coincidentally, was just finished by then...

I guess the VW was his DD.

other guy: just give it a try

You paid 60k for an s2k? Must be a pretty special one..

Its special for sure if you're first owner :derp:

[spoon.ek9]

1. I was going 50km/hr in front of an RCMP cruiser, got pulled over. Officer eventually asked me to pop the hood and proceeds to say "Do you have a NOS intake?" No..... :seriously:

Then, once he's done looking he tells me "You have a nice car, you can go now" What was the point of pulling me over?! :fulloffuck:

2. At a friend's shop, his customer/buddy tells me "You know, I don't even like civics but yours makes me want to get one" :smug:

You do realize what the MSRP for a brand new s2k in canada was.... right?

[gwh0803]

While I opened the garage gate and about to start my car (JDM Integra Type R), one particular bloke walked past and stared at it for a good 10 seconds.

"That's a funny looking civic."

I chuckled slightly and said: "It's an Integra from the other side of the pond."

------

Much more common: long stares from others while stopping at stop signs/lights with the occasional "why is your steering wheel on the right side?"

Got pulled over once, he asked me if my headlights were stock, I told him yes...He walked around the car a bit and then said the same thing to me and left...:badpokerface: Waste of my time.

- random drunk blonde girl attempts to get into the back seat of my car to take a selfie at a car show, soon followed by random drunk blonde girls friend, random drunk brunette girl taking typical myspace selfie angle shot.
my reaction "thanx for keeping the white carpets clean, and remembering to wear underwear"

- "at night, it blings, during day, it blends in with all the other gold corollas"

- random old guy, "WTH?! i havent seen paint jobs like this since the 70s!"

- random white girl at car show "OMG, i love your car!"

- co worker, "its so sparkly"

- distant friend "wtf were you thinking?!"

- bodyshop "...you want to do what?! seriously?!"

- guy on harley as we pull up to the red light (i had a bad exhaust leak) "that almost sounds like an american V8", i reply back "naaa, its just 2 japanese inline 4's!"

- had to gun it to merge onto hwy, merged off of highway and stop at a red light on the overpass, silver c5 corvette guy pulls next to me and yells out "wow, wasnt expecting that v8 sound from your car"

- random old asian guy in a sl63 amg gives me the thumbs up as we crawl through traffic... then realizes i was his service advisor earlier.

- distant friend "hate it..."
my reply, "good, last thing i wanted to attract was asian douchbag guys with this car"

best one to date, not trying to stereotype, but fresh paint, driving through surrey, got a random thumbs up from a taxi driver.

walking back to friend's modded e46 BMW m3 a few years ago (we traded cars for a few months)

random guy: 'hey is that your car man? that looks like the one from need for speed'.

"why is your car so loud?"

"did you lower it?"

No..I would have expected 30-40k at most. 60k sounds fucking absurd for a small roadster.

[Happy]

Pulled up to a light beside a riced out civic

Civic driver - "What kind of bmw is that?"
Me - "E46 M3"
Civic driver - "Bullshit. You just threw a m3 badge on a 325i."
Me - "You caught me...."

[StylinRed]

No..I would have expected 30-40k at most. 60k sounds fucking absurd for a small roadster.

iirc they started at $50k+ up here

think they were only 35k in the states? not sure

[ForeverYours]

At the border crossing Point Roberts - CBSA agents:
"What's Junction Produce?"
"What are the curtains for?"
from the black guy: "Don't be going mean mugging at night now" :lawl:

From parents:
"Your car's too low"
"My spinal column is going to snap driving your car around"
"It scrapes EVERYWHEREEE"
"Stop spending more money on your car"

From friends:
"You need spacers dude"
"Your car isn't low enough"
"Where's the black tint?"
"Looks like a Mercedes"
"DIPVANCOUVERRRRRR !!!"
"Your car is sluggish"
"You should take off the black dip dude"

From random people:
"Sick car man, is it a Mercedes?"
"What's the model year of this car? I've never seen it before"
"Is your car dipped?"
"Your wheels are like poking outside your car!"


and probably the funniest scenario, being pulled over by a cop for the first time
him: "can I please see your insurance and drivers license?"
me: *hands whatever was requested*
him: "what's the thing in between your pants?"
me: *looks at my passenger, looks down on my crotch* - "what do you mean sir"
him: "like what's that in between your pants, or whatever you're on top of"
me: "those are seat cushions sir" :lawl:
him: "I pulled you over because you forgot to turn on your lights, have a nice day"

[dared3vil0]

That cop was looking for probable cause, :ifyouknow:

To be fair, "Junction Produce" does sound pretty stupid..

Guy at the bmw dealership when me and my wife were looking for an e91
"What year is your m3?"
Me- "Its a 98"
Guy - "WOW thats old, time to upgrade"
Me - "No thats not the point."

[Speed2K]

In a parking lot:

Lady: nice car, what is it?
Me: It's a Honda S2000
Lady: I'd love one of these but my daughter would never let me buy one.
Lady: I know a lot about cars b/c my husband used to race cars...on the Coquihalla. :lawl:
Me: Ummm, okay.

[dared3vil0]

Sneaking suspicion at least half these are made up or atleast exaggerated in some way.

[satek]

at chevron filling up the 240sx

guy: I use to have a ford probe too, but it looked nothing like yours

me: That's because its a nissan 240sx

guy: oh really? :okay:

again at chevron


chevron employee: how do you drive your car without a steering wheel? (I have a quick release)

me: magic.

chevron employee: *awkward silence*

me: *shows him how the quick release works*

chevron employee: oh that's cool, but I don't see the point.

me: *leaves*

My old 92 Subaru Legacy Turbo, a guy once asked me how I swapped a porsche engine into my integra :|

[knight604]

Friend 1 : how many bodies does it fit in the trunk
Me: 3
Friend 1 : LEGGO!

Friend 2 : How many whores does the trunk fit?
Me: 3
Friend 2 : you are driving next time

First of all, this isn't remotely funny if we don't know what you're driving. Maybe you drive a school bus. And even if we did know, unless it's a smart car, it's still not funny.

Second of all, those are NOT reactions to your car; they're merely dumb answers from some friends.

Thirdly, wtf is "leggo" :badpokerface:

Definition #1

Urban Dictionary: leggo (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=leggo)

[toyota86]

90% chance whoever I'm driving will walk with me to the right side of the car before they realize my car is rhd.

That's more routine than unusual.
