Dumbest Questions You Get Asked

go to Autozone to get hotter plugs for the 365GT2+2. I give the alleged "car guy" behind the counter the NGK number that I want.

Autozone: "There's no such plug"
me: "Why don't you show me the list of NGK plugs you have?"
Autozone: "Why don't you tell me what car this is for?"
me: "OK, it's a 1968 Ferrari 365."
Autozone: "A what?" "A fernari?"
me: "f-e-r-r-a-r-i"
Autozone types into his trusty computer and states with authority: "well, the only cars that start with 'F' are Fiat and Ford, so which one is yours?"

I leave the store.

 

Question; Can you spin the tires on that thing
Answer; yea! the spin around every time the car moves?

 

Typical question a kid always ask.
Q: What kind of car is it?
How fast does it go?
How much is it?
What year is it?
Is it faster than a corvette?
Can you take me for a ride?

A: Do you have an older sister

 

1-How fast.........?
2-How much........?
3-Where's the engine.......?

It never changes.

 

You're really insecure about your, ahem, "thing", aren't you?

 

I was out washing my 1997 F355 Spider when an older man walks up and says "Judging from the horse on your car, that must be the new Mustang."

I was trying not to laugh....

 

question: How does that thing handle in the snow??

me: It handles great, Ferrari makes these high speed tire chains - good for 160MPH!!!!!

 

At a gas station, the same person asked these two questions back to back...

1. While looking through the rear deck window of the F40.... "is that the engine?"

2. While actually filling it up with gas... "does it take regular gasoline?"

As others said in the previous post, the guy was likely just trying too hard to ask something while taking in the car...

 

while looking and my friends sleeper mustang's plates (2FST4YU)

"to...fast...for...you...

wait, so is it fast?"

 

I don't have a good one....but one from a post on the Viper forum...has to be the funniest one I've ever heard:

Kid: dude, nice Viper, what do you have for an engine?

owner: It's a V10

kid (as he walks away, to his friend): psssh, that guy got the cheap Viper, the better model has a V12.

 

That is the best!

 

Funny!

says something about the design tho, eh?
almost 10 years old and people think its brand new...

GT

 

I was watching this guy fill up his F40 when a dude walked up to him and asked what MPG he was getting. The owner FLIPPED OUT, drop-kicking the dude in the throat and then set his Escort on fire while he laid unconscious.

Crazy stuff.

 

Dang... I though a friend of mines 430 spider was a Mustang...

So which one is... the 355 or the 430?

I am so confuzed now

 

The most common is "what kind of car is that". Not really "dumb", but surprises me nonetheless, since it's a 308, one of the most iconic Ferraris there is.

Then there are these two runners up: "Wanna trade?" (Usually asked by someone in either a Civic or a pickup of some sort), and "Is that a Corvette?" (usually asked by someone who's a$$ I then instantly want to kick).

 

I forgot that one.

 

hilarious questions!! ...btw, are the tires filled with helium?

 

This is the dunbest question so far this week....



HUGE buying dilema, CRAP!

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

OKAY! Ecarlink sent the '95 355 with 34k miles to lamborghini of dallas to await a $500 PPI, manager just called me and said if i dont decide now it has to be until tomorrow. The lender that ecarlink approved me for a the car, refuses to help me on any other car not associated with ecarlink, so if i get different 355, my credit will be pulled again, being that im sitting on a borderline 700 fico, another pull may mean sit below 700 and not apply for A paper rates.

Guy from here offers me his 355 '95 with only 16k miles for $5,000 more, as opposed to the 34k mile 355.

What should i do?

 

What about the infamous......is that a kit car?

Along those lines, I was at a gas station when this woman walked up to me and said..." I knew it was the real thing"(after seeing the lettering on the trunk lid), "my husband said it was a kit car but I told him it was not". As her husband came out of the station/store she called to him "I told you it was real" and waived him over, he just went back to his pick-up. She thanked me for telling her about the Dino and went back to the truck. She was giving him crap all the way out of the lot. Too funny!

Also a brief story...As a friend of mine was someplace (cant remember where) with his very nice 308 a couple in a new mustang (no kidding) parked next to him got out and were looking over his car. The guy made some comment on how expensive they were and all that, when my friend told them how much he paid for his car they both looked shocked, she turned to him and said "you mean we could have had one of these instead !!! "you idiot!!! and punched him in the arm! my friend could barely contain himself. Gotta love it!

Cheers!

That was great!

 

"Can I drive it?"

 

Not really the dumbest questions asked to me.
The most common is the usual-
"How fast is it?"
Followed by-
"Is it real?"

 

Geico insurance girl: What's the make of the car?

Me: Ferrari

Geico insurance girl: Who makes that?
