I live in a super small town full of old people and idiots (haha).
I've gotten Honda, Acura Integra, and....
Just the other day I was delivering pizza and I was walking to my car and the guy goes "Oh I didn't know that was your car! My neighbor has the exact same one, same color, same everything." And I asked who his neighbor was and he told me and I said "Oh...he has...a Sunfire...."
His reaction-
"Ohhh yea! He has a Sunfire! Wait..Wha...what is... "
"It's a Tiburon"
"Ohhhh yea! A Tiburon! ...Oh..Yea! Wow! A Tiburon!"
Also:
"That thing is only a 4 banger, should swap the V-6 engine into it and bore it over"
"*Boomhauer sounding mumbling (from King of the Hill)* 350 engine bored to a 355 *mumbling*"
"Should have bought the GT version!"
"Those things are turbo'd! WOW!"
"The pizza shop must pay good for a car like that!"
"You must be making the big bucks!"
"I don't understand how you delivery guys all have such nice cars" (the other delivery drivers - A 30 yr old with a Nissan Frontier and a 20 yr old with an Eclipse)

Couple nights ago a buddy of mine looked out the door to the bar and asked who's Mercedes was parked out front. He was surprised to know it was my Tib. Made me feel good.

so a few weeks ago i was driving down a pretty busy street and there is quite a bit of traffic and i have all the wondows down and the sunroof back and listening to music, when all of a sudden a cop on a motorcycle pulls right up behind me and cuts a guy off. im thinkin "oh great what did i do this time?" and so he flips on his lights a lil ways down the road i pull into a small complex and he says "you were driving without a seatbelt! dont you know the law .... click it, or ticket!" so he writes me a ticket for $97.00 and hands it over to me leaving me with a final comment of "oh and keep your music down!" so i drive home and look the ticket over and the cop wrote that i was driving a 2000 RED MAZDA RX-8!!!! lol! so i go to my hearing and plead not guilty and bring my registration and stuff and say "that couldnt have been me he saw driving without a seatbelt. i dont drive a mazda RX-8, i drive a hyundai tiburon" so the judge looks it over and dismisses my ticket and im just thinkin in my head "God that cop is an idiot!" i mean its not hard to write down the right car because my license plate is "RUINER" so its not like he incorrectly entered it in the system and when he runs my plate it pulls up year make and model. so basically that cop is an idiot and ya my car has been mistaken for an rx-8 (long story short)
