Salesman buddy at Honda dealership - "Now this Crosstour is quite a bit more expensive than your Subaru (sticker on Crosstour was $28k), but that's because it has a bigger engine with more power and options."

When I owned my M3 I had some ricer come up to me in a grocery store parking lot and say, "Hey man, is that a V6 or a V4?" I laughed for quite some time (almost to the point that it made it akward), and replied, "It's actually neither, it's a straight six, and if you want to get technical it's a slant six. Good Day!"

When i was shipping my heads off to get CNC'd there was a guy in UPS that asked me if they were carburetors. I said no they are heads for the subaru wrx. this conversation followed:
Him: why would you waste money on a 4 cylinder? you should spend money on a GTO or something fast
Me: I actually beat 3 GTO's by 4 seconds a few weeks ago at a local autocross event
Him: oh...

Another good one, was after installing the turbo on my old protege, the blow off valve wasn't big enough so it would get compressor search and sound like a turkey. Always got laughs from friends and comments from dumb people asking if it had a turkey call in it. Then as a joke a friend put a turkey call on his speed3 .
