what is the dumbest, most ridiculous comment you've received about your car ?

Anytime I beat something I always get..."Dude that thing is quick. You gotta have either a turbo, supercharger, or nitrous!!"
Just basic bolt-ons.
I spanked an Eclipse one time
Eclipse: Man that thing is fast. Turbo?
Me: No
Eclipse: Supercharger, or nitrous, or both???
Me: No, no, and no
Eclipse: Dude you gotta have one of the 3!!!
Me: Why's that?
Eclipse: Look at how big your car is, its gotta weigh at least 4000 lbs
Me: ........You'd be very surprised
Eclipse: Weight reductions?
Me: Just a few things thrown out that only weighed probably a pound or two at the most.
Eclipse: Open your trunk I want to see the bottle!
Me: What bottle, I don't have a bottle I already told you, no forced induction, no juice!
Eclipse: Well then how did you beat my 98 Eclipse GS, with intake, and an exhaust (really it was just a muffler)
Me: I don't know maybe its because I have 2 extra cylinders, the car weighs more like 3100 lbs, I have 4 doors, 5 gears, and well VQ POWER pwns you! (4 door part was just to kind of rub it in his face, family sedan beat him)
Eclipse: VQ Power? What the hell is that??
Me: Oh VQ, thats VTEC!
Eclipse: That explains it!!
Me: Pathetic ricer.
I left the parking lot after that. I get bashed by everybody in town that just flat out doesn't respect the Max.
I get guys sayin "My Probe GT will eat your Max alive"
Autozone guy. "I like your Nissan man......Altima??"
"No its a Maxima."
"Oh ya, thats right. If I wanted an import thats what I'd own"
Riiiiiiight. You didn't even know what the name of the car was.
I get dissed from the local import guys, but it is funny. I get more respect from the local domestics. A friend loves my car and he has nicely modded 99 Trans Am M6. His car just hands it to me everytime
. Wish I had the muscle the V8s have.

So, if a n00b tried to tell me that it couldn't have been a 6-speed, I would just prove him wrong by shifting out of 5th into what he clearly would think should be reverse, but was actually 6th.
Super lame joke, made worse by the explnanation. Pretend it never happened...

. what would really scare the crap outta someone if you have a 5 speed shift ball top(that shows 5 gears and then reverse where 6th would be)

The other night I pull up to the security gate at my school to get onto campus and the guys goes I have to write you a pass...he goes 'what kind of car is this a beemer?" I go "no, nissan" and then he goes " what color is it?" i was like are you serious? You're looking right at it. I couldn't help but laugh in his face.
got another one guys...ok yesterday on my way home, an old friend i havent seen in a while was riding beside me and i told him follow me. we talked a while after we pulled over then he admires my car. i have the majestic blue right, so he asks me, "how much was that paint job?" lol i was like it came with the car. i should of told him it was $5k for that kind of candy paint =p

"That altima is nice!!" i tell them oh thanks, but it's not an altima, it's a maxima(they try to act surprise and walks to the back of the car to check the badge MAXIMA) hahahahah.
this story is like MadMaxSe-L mentioned: In my case back in my immature street racing days. beat this prelude by a bit(maybe a bit less than half a car) after the race we pulled back up to the starting area, he got out his car B!tching "man you lied f00, that car is turboed i heard it, i had my window open a bit and i heard it" So i proceed to pop my hood and show him, but unfortunatly the cops showed up and broke it all up before he got to see that all i had was a CAI.

Thats true about people who don't look at these cars every day don't know as much, but yeah some just dont think or are plain stupid. They can make mistakes though, at my school theres 2 lots we can park in, one a good 10 min walk from my dorm and the other right next to it. I have a permit for the farther one, and have a 2001 black SE with tint and a spoiler. My friend who lives in the same dorm has a 97 black GXE with a spoiler and tint, and a permit for the lot next to the dorm. Campus police always patrols in the middle of the night, if he parks in a different area, I can park in that lot too and not get a ticket. They might just not care, but other people are getting parking tickets and i'd like to believe we're fooling them 
when my car was on the hoist and my wheel was off, some punk walked up to my car and yelled out to his freind "what a piece of **** its brakes of holes in it" i was so shocked i didnt even know what to say. i guess hes never heard of cross drilled rotors before?

not sure if i have posted in this thread or not but the craziest thing for me was a guy saying "hey dude very nice Mustang ?" that has to take the cake, again im over in NZ now and there isnt a single car on the road that looks like it but a 4 door mustang, lol !
edit: just looked up and saw post 180, rofl ! i cannot believe this has happened to anyone else !

so many to say....
My favorite 3.
1. Idiot driver ->"I thought your car was slow, who modifies I30's?" Me -> "It's an I35"
2. Idiots -> "Wow that is a nice maxima."
3. More idiots (i get this alot) -> "Why did you buy a 04 I35 and mod it when you could have got a 03 G35 or 04 G35?" My response -> I have a g35, I don't like it, I prefer to mod the I35"

I was rofling
Just last night at Wal*Mart, "What kind of Nissan is that..I can't tell what it is?"
I thought this was totally ironic since I had just seen this thread yesterday afternoon. I have to give the guy props for not inserting "Altima" or something else...It was totally random too.

Over the summer when I was selling Nissans, I had a couple come in to look at Altimas but weren't serious at all... She told me that she worked at some Federal Credit union so everyone there drove Crown Vic/Grand Marquis and she said she needed a car that had a V8. I told her that Nissan's 4cylinder Altimas would smoke a Grand Marquis and that the V6 Altimas would absolutely pound on a Mustang V6.
She didn't beleive me and neither did her husband, I was trained not to get into an argument with customers, but she and her husband were just getting on my nerves...
Long story short, the guy challenges me to a race against his 5.9L Dodge Ram but I still had an hour of work to go. So he leaves, before he does, he tries to do a burnout and instead his transmission slips and he drives off with me cracking up behind him waving...

No...the guys at the her workplace told her to get a Crown Vic/Grand Marquis or at least something with a V8...not to race, but because of some weird notion that anything less than a V8 would be underpowered
