ever had your car confused with another?

[Loki]

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

Same here, the most people get confused and call it a Celica Supra which I tell them it's not but other than that I've never had someone call my car something that it wasn't.

I showed one of my ex's the squished pic of Turbo Joe's car I did and she said it was a Probe :rofl:

 

[drunk_medic]

well it does say TOYOTA SUPRA on the rear pasenger corner

and TURBO on the other end. so i get my point accross to everyone behind me.

I can't wait to de-badge my car after the JZ swap.. :naughty:

 

[Squid699]

hehe....mine says "Supra" but not "Turbo"

 

[lanky189]

mine doesnt actually have any badges except on the hood.


btw..a guy in altavista who has a pristine sunchaser celica (and i mean pristine 40k on the clock and wearing the original paint that looks better than my car's respray)

anywho...he knew what it was and even had some kind words..to which i replied..wanna trade...and he said..sure..yours plus 7k... and if i had 7k...id do it THATS HOW GORGEOUS IT IS!

 

[Mr.SelfDestruct]

you know what I hate? when people are like "thats a celica-supra" and i'm like: "no it is'nt" and there like "yeah it is" and it keeps going on like that till i get fed up and walk away... know-it-all bastards...

 

[Anomili]

^^ made me mad just reading it. I hate ignorant fools.

 

[PRpimp3o3]

most older people think that they see supra and automatically think celica supra because thats how it was back in the day. Still makes me made though.

 

[Blue N/A->T]

Carl told me the first time he saw my 89 that the car was so 80's that he was just waiting for the wheels to turn side way and for me to fly off. Ever since it's been the Delorean and we have a few people fooled that it actually even though it's fully badged.

My blue car once got a parking ticket for a "Make: Toyota""Model: Suburban" didn't take much to get that ticket fixed.

I've heard a few Ferrari's, when I first got it lots of folks said it looked alot like a C4 or C5 vett.

I've heard a few Probes and I've decided that I'm well within my legal rights to beat these persons to a pulp with a baseball bat.

 

[Ne0z]

I usually get 'pile of crap' or 'Crappy Automatic'...

Whats wrong with Celica Supras? Just askt he ppl if they own one, since chances are they don't, then tell 'em to stfu...... that always works for me.... or just say "trust me.... I know". I've talked my way out of Celica Supra w/ my 82..... thats how good I am.

 

[Supra Blues]

LMAO...

I used to get those....before my turbo swap. :evil2: Although the exterior still doesn't look very good.

 

[Mr.SelfDestruct]

I meant when people think they know more about your car than you do... I got mad respect for the celica-supra.

I love it when people tell you about your own car and they're wrong. I talked to a guy who was convinced I had a mkii and the newer ones were mkiii's, and he was an import owner. You expect it from the domestic guys but whatever. Then their backup is always that they had a friend who used to have one and he knew a lot about the cars. :wuteva:

 

[shaeff]

heh, this one dude i know thinks he knows literally everything. he said there's no way in hell that a 6cyl turbo supra can make over 300hp. "it's just not possible, even with a turbo" were his exact words. heh, i cant wait 'til my car runs correctly, and i slap a 400rwhp dyno sheet down in front of him....

-shaeff

 

[Loki]

I was telling this guy what I'm doing to my car over the winter and that it should be over 400hp by spring. I told him all I really needed to do was add some more fuel and turn the boost up and he didn't believe me.

 

[Ckanderson]

yea... i used to work at a shop, and someone asked how much hp i had i said "meh around 400"

"thats not possible, youll snap your u juints"

i just laughed and walked off.

 

[Loki]

My landlord also didn't believe me that it would be easy to make over 400hp with my car.

 

[CTsupra]

i just go along with their story and make myself look like a total tool. then after the fact i laugh for hours knowing that their IQ is less than that of a door knob.

i also give them a lot of false information about the mkiii so they don't go out and buy one. i even told one guy to put to bleach in his crankcase so it helps clean his oil. he probably believed me.

 

[americanjebus]

i had a guy in a dsm ask me if it was a 4cyl. so i just asked him to pair up at the light and i showed him what a 4cyl supra can dol

gawd people are stupid.

 

[Adjuster]

Probe is the worst.

Time travel car? Now that's a first. (John Z would be very unhappy.)

I get Vette, or Celica Supra all the time.

The best ones are when some body complements your car, and offends you by accident. LOL

I had a nice older gentlemen, about in his early 70's, or late 60's tell me it was the nicest sounding Corvette he's ever heard. (And I bet he's heard the Vette when it was a I6 powered car.) I explained that is really was a Supra, but did have a I6, and he was thrilled to see under the hood. HE even lamented that the Vette was supposed to have a I6 in it, and said it was nice to see Japan figured it out, and he was sorry to see that Chevy lost it with the Vette. (He was also talking about Jags, and how a real Jag has a I6, not any V12's... It was pretty interesting.) Funny what happens when you pull into Burger King for lunch sometimes. A mini car show
