ever had your car confused with another?

[americanjebus]

something that started annoying the living crap out of me is when people only identify the supra as the fast and furious car and never know what came before it.

when i bought my car people didnt know wtf it was.
the geusses were
240?
corvette?
is that a probe?

i serously feel like slapping people when they do that.

what other car have your guys's been confused with.

During the brief time I had my car on the road, someone tired to tell me it was not a supra because they did not make supras until 93, I just started laughing and drove off. I too hate people that only know supras as mkiv's, I love our cars and in my mind I think they look a lot better than the mkiv's, but as far as having my car confused as another, I did not have my car running long enough...

[aye mate]

if people ask me what my car is I tell them its an 89 probe, giggle, downshift and leave them wondering...

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

MKII, Mitsubishi Starion.................?

I don't see it.......

Also a lot of people guess Fox Body mustang...........

I really don't care if people don't know what my car is. Your talking to the only exhibitor who got out of Darknights (car show in Toronto) withOUT being hassled by the police. Especially in Toronto where every cop seems to have a stick up their ass, having a car that is not easily identifiable keeps you seperate from the more common place profiling.

[SupraMario]

i get probe, corvette, the most, i like the people who think its some like foreign exotic, car, lotus is what im thinking they think it is.

 

[GrimJack]

I've gotten Corvette a couple times now. I just giggle.

 

[drunk_medic]

I've had my car confused with the Corvette, Ferrari and Lotus Esprit. Not bad.

 

[americanjebus]

i only see corvette if you look at it from upfront and at a distance while squinting.

the only one that makes me mad is 240 and probe.

i dont mind lotus espirit. i wouldnt mind having one.

Hell no, I wouldn't mind either! TwinTurbo V-8 and a great looking car; what's not to love?

I've had it called a Nissan when I was stopped at the U.S./Canada border. The border patrol guy even gave me shit when I confirmed that he was referring to my car, the Toyota, hell I didn't want to confess to anyone elses stuff. I also had it referred to as a Mazda by the guy in the tower at the drag strip. I once got a nod from a guy driving a Porsche 928 as he was making a left in front of me on a side street by my house, not sure what he thought I was driving? And of course, there is always the one dickhead that busts out, "It looks like a probe." The day he saw it in person and took a ride in it, he decided different. :icon_bigg

 

[1TuffSupra]

yeah my car has been referred to as a probe, a corvette, a mazda (same style as the probe), and an old ferrari.

My cousin, who has a se-r vspec (talks big shit about how he can beat anything), thought it was a probe and when I told him it was a supra he basically kissed my ass, lol, scared to race.

I've heard that several times for MKII's



My g/f's sister said my car looks like a Ferarri.........but she's an idiot.


The only car I've been confused with was my friends 88T that is also a red targa and has gunmetal wheels.

 

[lanky189]

the mk2 gets me DMC sometimes..but mostly people around here know what it is...go figure..they couldnt tell you what my 87 was if it said SUPRA right across it in big red letters.

 

[Ckanderson]

I have never had my car confused. although many people are like "wtf car is that!?"

 

[Supra Blues]

My g/f's sister said my car looks like a Ferarri.........but she's an idiot.

LOL... :biglaugh:

 

[Squid699]

LOL... :biglaugh:

What? She is........my g/f would be the first to admit it......

 

[shaeff]

i've gotten probe a few times, "old celica" which didnt bother me too much, i got lotus once, and my personal favorite after i smoke someone:

"damn, dude! what the hell IS that thing?"

[americanjebus]
