I'll start with:

Do you drift?

"Do you have a swap yet?"
No.
"Oh. . .that's aight then."

Sorry if this is a repost of a thread.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered anymore dumb questions.

Got SR?

Do you Drift?

That pretty much covers all the Nissan folks I run in to. From the rest of the world I usually deal with...

Why are you wasting money on an old ass 4-cylinder?

So you street race like F&F?

Then once I "accidentaly" lose traction..

That thing is rear wheel drive?

My job sits 200 yards from a stop light, 2 lanes each direction, plus turning lanes in all 4 directions from that light, I turn left at that light and the ONLY turn I make between there and my house is a cloverleaf that puts me on the road I live on, albeit 10 miles short of my house. A couple of months ago, some kid is sitting in the furthest left non-turning lane and I am the only car in the turning lane.
Protected turn comes first, I turn left, he turns left from the MIDDLE lane behind me. Just as I exit the cloverleaf 3 miles later, my brother calls me on the phone, "bring me a pack of cigarrettes on the way in," and this tool is still behind me.

5 miles in a VERY straight line on a 6 lane thoroughfare, and this guy has not taken one of the other 2 lanes in our direction, even though I am HOPING he does, trying to force the issue by doing EXACTLY the speed limit. At the end of the 5-miles is where the road changes names, but there is an Exxon, the one I stop at when I need to stop for something. Brakes and signal, he signals too "FUCK!!!" I yell out...
Windows up, sunroof closed, I get out of the car, he doesn't (yet). I get my brother's smokes and a couple beers for myself, come out of the store and he has gotten out of his car:

kid: "Hey, nice car dude, whatcha got in it?"

me: "minor shit, twincam engine, 5-speed swaps, bone stock as it is"

kid: "you gettin a SR?"

me: "Nah, engine was out, I'da got one if I was getting one"

kid: "whatchu got planned next?"

me: "Way too much to stand here and call out"

kid: "you drift?"

me: "you are aware that we're in NC, right?"

kid: "yeah, but MAN, I wanted to get one of these, but all the ones I found were too much or were automatic"

me: *sees opportunity to end conversation and break heart* "word? because I had a 95 before and wrecked it, *points* right up there (I'd wrecked it on a parallell street), and I wasn't exactly looking for another one yet when this one found me... It HAD been an automatic with the single overhead cam auto, but it had no engine and the body/interior was straight and unabused, already set for the twincam to go in, found me for 500 bux. Copped the engine *points to junkyard across the street* over there for 400, tranny free, various parts and what have you from various locations cheap, I MIGHT have 2 grand in this car as you see it right now, including stereo, wheels/tires and everything... Guess I got a good deal."


I HEARD his heart break and he looked like he wanted to cry, so I finish:
"... look dude, I got someone at home waiting on these *motions with smokes* I gotta run"

... then I jump in the car and leave without even exchanging NAMES with this tool.

I got tired of people asking me what my offsets were, so I wrote them on my hood and trunklid. Unfortunately, that only covers the Rikens but not many people know the difference between +17 or +25.

Usually the first question people in Civics ask is "How much did that cost you?" referring to my Silvia front. My usual answer is "Nothing, it came on the car." You can probably guess the question following that.

"Do you have an SR?" is the next most popular question.

From other 240 guys, the question most asked is usually "What coilovers do you have?" The next most popular is "Do you drift?"

The questions I get the most from my friends are "When are you gonna get that thing painted?" and "You bought MORE wheels?"

kandyflip445

They ask me "What do you have done?" Which I think is a fair question to ask. But then I tell them I have a few BRACES and they say "So I bet it gets sideways easy huh?"

While pumpin up gas in Diamond bar, these kids come out of a honda and start badgering me with questions.
Youngsters: "Dude, thats one sick 240! 5 Speed, right?"
Me: "Yea... sure is..."
Youngster 1: "Dude, i was lookin over one of these with my dad. I told him it saves gas so he would buy it for me. Do you drift? Have you mastered clutchkicking? Or braking drifts?"
Me: "Huh? Whats that? Drift... is that like, stealing or something?"
Youngsters in unison: "WHAT?!?!?! Are you SERIOUS???"
Youngster 2: "OMG, dude, he's a poser!!!"
Youngster 3: "Dude, you should be driving that thing like (that one guy from InitialD that drives a silvia)."
Youngster 1: "OMG, poser!!!"

Then i handle my business with gassin up, and they keep jabbering about Initial D and drifting and what not.

What hurt me most was the name calling. And then i see them in a video, you know, the one with the Miata and the infamous "My Precious car!!!"

juice.def

I got one for you guys so i take this auto class at the Junior college that i go to and there are these ricer kids in my class with there for door civics and there huge wings. So where in class and i see there looking at a car magizine that has a 240 with a sr in it and hear them arguing whether the cat is a skyline or a 240. at this point im already like wtf? So when i bring in my 89 hatch to work on i pop the hood and they all come walking up and look in and say
omg is that a skyline engine?
im like no thats just the stock sohc motor so he says o ok thats tight
I see you have an after market header says the kid "pointing at my intake manifold"
I continued with my work for the day trying not to laugh in there face rofl.

nistech

what r u boosting

Nan Desu Ka?!

of cource:
retard: "do you drift?"
me: "dirft? what is "drift?"
retard: 0.0... poser/wtf? why do you even have a silivia then?! (lol @ that... i have a 91 fb... not a silvia, ass)

"got an SR?"
me: "no, I still havent decided if i want to go NA or go KA-T"
"that would be a waste of money! just get an SR they are WAAAAY better for drifting"

"what year probe is that?" <-- guy at my work asked me that...

"dude, are your headlights broken?" (same guy/\)

while i was at a meet in fremont there was a guy with a AE86 that had done a very clean 4AG swap. we were checkin out the engine when he asked me what i drive. i pointed to my car and he asked if i had a SR (:rollseyes I said no, im rocking a rebuilt s14 KADE. he said i should junk that "K...A? whatever, truck" motor since it had NO potential and it was a waste of engine space; "not to mention they dont last long and wont go past 130k miles" (his exact words) I was like... "actually they are very torquey little motors that can last past 200K miles if properly maintained."

I guess he didnt want to hear it cause he kinda just said "oh...ok" and we dropped the subject. i swear, people read too many lame ass, BS filled posts on the internet about our cars. Mostly those posts are from people that done even own a 240 and only go by what they hear from other non-240-owning people and initialD. =/ whatever, ignorance is bliss i suppose.

Oh, earlier this week, some cop pulled me over and asked funny questions.

Cop: "So... is this car stock?"
Me: "No, not at all officer. I've got everything you can imagine!"
Cop: "Like an illegal engine?"
Me: "Yea, i've got like, 4 or 5 of those. Wanna see?"
Cop: "Get out of the car, and pop your hood."
Me: "Okay officer!"

So i pop the hood, and he's looking around. Stock SOHC, koyo, crank pulley, optima.

Cop: "Is that one of those SRT20s or something? I hear they go fast"
Me: "Yea, its from JDM. You know where that is?"

And then the cops' partner comes out of the car, saying hey and then all the chitchat about firefighting. We make fun of the first officer, we all chuckle, and then the first cop says "Keep your SRT20s off the streets, ya hear?"

I love knowing nice cops.

...do you drift?

dct223

whenever i tell people i go to the track to drift, they usually respond, "o the track?? whats your 1/4 mile time???"

I dont get the do you have a SR question as much as my friends with s13's but people still ask from time to time.

i get the do u drift question a lot... but i reluctantly say yes.. cus that just brings up more dumb questions i have to answer, or a conversation i dont want to have.
