I have gotten asked if it has a 6 or an 8. Some people even ask me what kind of car it is? I chuckle most of the time, and humor the questions. I also like when people in beaters pull up next to me and make jokes about racing.

I had someone ask me if mine was "real" once.....(BTW: they were looking at it, it wasn't a question about whether or not I was making up the fact that I own it.)

I was too dumbfounded to think of a witty retort....

A guy parked next to mine on a bad crotch rocket offered to trade for mine a few days ago.
It was tempting.
