My personal favorite was I was on a car cruise when I first got the car (4 weeks ago). I was stuck behind this E36 328 and stayed on their ass for the whole cruise. Well we were at a gas station and I went in came out with a soda and this girl started talking to me. She asked me who was driving the supercharged Cobalt. I looked at her and said I dont know some new guy on the cruise. Then asked her why. She said "that ****** is pretty fast stayed on our ass the whole time" me " what are you in?" her "that silver bmw" me "laughing did the cobalt have a front plate on it?" her "no think he just bought it" I was laughing fairly hard at this point and I told her sorry that the cobalt she was asking about was me and that its not supercharged and its an auto. There was another victory red SS/SC on the cruise but not sure where he went. But she wasnt too amused when she found out I was just a slow cobalt and not the fast one

I didn't know how to take it either
wait,wait wait? was designed like the evo wing? wtf? wew r awd now? oh and 17's take away from accel.?wtf is that? god some people i swear

When I first got my car some woman asked me if it was the new Corvette and I was confused as hell haha.


A guy at a gas station asked me if it was a V8 or V6 and I told him it was a supercharged 4-banger and he looked at me confused as hell haha


Went WOT passed some traffic with the M62 whining loud as hell, they caught up with me at the next light and a guy asked me what was wrong with my car lol

I had one guy at the tire store ask (since my car is debadged) if my car was an SS. He was like SOOO interested to know. Then I say, "err, no" and he just walks away. lol!

Also, at the gas station, one friend in a lexus GS300 comes up to me and starts GRILLING me about my car mods. He was so intrigued, b.c. he saw my HIDs on the road. He then tries to poke fun at me since I don't have "bixenon" lights. Whatever. Anyway, he tells me that he has a buddy "building him" a short ram intake for 250$. I felt SOO bad for him...hehe..."you can just buy one off-line for like 100$ less than that" - i tell him. The look on his face after that = priceless.

BTW, I have a bunch of mods, but ever since I got my exhaust EVERYBODY wants a ride. I have a Tsudo catback with a deep churn to it...great decision!

I can 1up everyone lol. When I was working at my local dealership one of the used car managers called me over so I could help sell a car. Mind you I was not into sales when I worked there. He was all "Rob you got an SS right?" "Ahh no, its an LS with some stuff on it." "Oh well go into the room next door and help one of the guys in selling the SS we have out there, just say you have an SS and you like it" lol

QFT I can't tell you how many times I have raced someone and I get "I almost had you and your S/Ced" so I open the hood and say "really where is it at cause I don't see one." The looks I get from that statement are priceless Now that the SS/TC's are out I get asked if its turbocharged because of the front grille.
