I was at the gas station the other day, filling up on some E85. I wanted to make sure that I was getting E85 so I had the quick fuel test tube out checking the ethanol content. The lady behind me had this look on her face like I was assembling a bomb . Then, the guy on the other side of the pump chimes in...
Guy: what are you doing? Me: checking to make sure I am getting real e85 Guy: is that car like a diesel or something? Me: no...not a diesel...it runs on e85 Guy: (puzzled look) did it come like that from the factory ? Me: no, I had it tuned for e85 Guy: why would you do that? Me: because e85 has a higher octane rating and with the higher octane...(guy is totally lost)...basically it's almost like having race gas, I can make more power (remembering KISS theory) Guy: oh....so do you always have to test it? That seems like way to much work Me: you don't have to I guess but I am concerned with the grade of the fuel because I am getting re tuned and with the colder season coming I wanted to make sure I was getting e85 and not like e70 Guy: oh well, good luck with that Me: Thanks I am really not sure I how kept a straight face when he asked if it was diesel

They all eventually fell asleep. Back on topic, I had a blue SRT4 yell "Subarus are gay!" at me while pulling out of a gas station. I sort of laughed it off. |

My parents were filling their 05 s2000 up at a gas station and a guy came up to them and complimented them on it and proceed to tell them that they needed to listen to good music while driving it and gave them a mixed cd.

Wasn't at a gas station, but I had just bought my WRX and had a guy in a Eurovan stop beside me at a stop light. He rolled down his window and in his Australian accent said "Love your ride mate!!!" Made my day.

There was an article on jalopnik a while back that took BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, and Lexus models and creatively swapped badges and photoshopped grills on them because all those cars look exactly the same otherwise. |

The other week I was filling up and while waiting I decided to pull my dipstick, (Honda del sol), a guy in his 20s or 30s saw my obvious turbo and complimented me on my setup. "I love boosted b series". I have a d16 which is a single cam and is obvious if you see the valve cover. When I told him it was a single cam he then laughed and went on about how I'm an idiot for boosting a single and how his b18 hatch would destroy me, I simple replied "no just no". That night we were both at the same meet and wouldn't stop asking me to run him and I kept on saying no. When I left he followed me so I indulged him and we did a 40 roll, I smoked him of course. The next week at the same meet he said there was no way it was a d16 so I popped the hood and showed him, again lol. He had some ridiculous idea that I swapped my motor this week so he would never know I didn't have a single. This was the biggest moron I have ever met my entire time in the car scene
