I like your VIPER...

LOL! I just got the same thing yesterday driving through a parking lot. I was going down the main isle at about 5-10 mph (paying very close attention to people traffic so as to avoid hitting anybody ). There was an old woman with her grandchild (probably) and she was standing on the curb looking the other way holding the little boy's hand. She must have heard my car (RM exhaust) because she yanked the little boy's arm almost out of its socket in an attempt to pull him away from the street (which they weren't even crossing) and held him closely across his chest... she glared at me. When I pulled along side her she was angrily saying something to me. I stopped and rolled down my windows and she yelled at me to pay attention and slow down! I said that I was and I'm only going about 5 mph. She yelled, "BULLSHIT!"... I just said sorry and drove away. There was a small crowd and a lot of them were just shaking their head in disbelief at the crazy old lady. It made me angry at the time, but now it just seems so funny!!! I feel really bad for the little boy because the arm tug must have hurt .

SORRY?! ..... people people people..... come on, dont appologize for who you and your car are.

You dont need to given an explaination about why your car is the way it is. If she does not like it, she doesnt have to drive one. Very rearly in life do you really NEED to give an explaination for anything.

I would have staired right back and given her the finger. She'll think twice next time before acting stubid. Dont let her get away with cussing you out just cause she's on her last leg. I use to respect old people... i still do but as for those who act stubid, there is no extra "before the grave" leniency points. :smile:
 
I recently had a neighbor refer to my car as a Vette and then someone in my networking group did the same thing!

I didn't bother correcting my neighbor, but there were some other folks there when the networking group colleague made the vette comment and they immediately corrected him. ;)

Hmmm... I've had my share of getting hit on (even in the college gym), but this would just be strange! I'm 25 and (at the risk of sounding arrogant) did fitness modeling for ASU (so I'm in good physical shape). She was maybe 47-49, had no make-up on, and was maybe 100 lbs overweight (I'm not being condescending). Please, I'm not trying to offend anyone or be egotistical (because I'm not), I'm just putting the situation in perspective and be realistic (we obviously weren't compatible)... I really think she honestly believed my car was a Viper... or maybe I'm just REALLY approachable... or naive :confused: :wink: :biggrin:

Please no flames!

You are a shallow, insecure, egotistical monster who feels, unjustly so, that you can be condesending towards any female simply because you have ownership of an NSX. How dare you !!! :biggrin:

You aren't one of those dudes from "Paradise Hotel" are you ? ( I heard that most of those people were from ASU ).
 
on the way back from buying the car i pulled up to a toll and there was a young girl (asain :biggrin: ) ready to take my 75 cents and a guy in the other maybe 18 these were kids, lol. the guy yells out holy shit now thats a ferrari, as i pull up his jaw drops he says softly acura to himself with a "huh"? look on his face, and the chick starts flirtin asking how much it was what year and if it had air bags cuase it was so low, hahaha meanwhile my girlfriend now my ex was in the passenger seat all pissed telling me to go!

Ive also got nice camaro that just make me want to strangle the person,lol ive even got nice gt3000 i just laughed.
but i get nice vette the most.

I think one aqward one was i was walkin into a wendys :) and a guy and his son like jump up and walk to the door and practically stop me and the guys like i gotta know what it is, is it a ferrari or mitsubishi. i replied honda and walked off. the guy look like he saw a ghost, lol :tongue:
 
The best one I heard was this...I was lookin though prime at the pictures section at school and I had this convo with this kid in the class:

Me: This thing is sick, what do you think?
Him: wow that is a great looking MR-2, what year is it?
Me: that isnt no MR-2, that a freakn Acura NSX
Him: Acura makes a sports car like that?

Kinda sad isnt it? MR-2????
 
I haven't had anyone call it a Viper.. though people have compared the look to a vette or a camaro or F-car (spose it depends on the angle). Anyways, a comparison shot between the two.. I don't think there is anything alike at all.

I'm not sure if you remenber the actual show ( Summer 2003 ), but about 50% of the guys that were the final contestants were fitness models from ASU.....seriously !!!

The kid that mistook my NSX for a corvette was 9. Otherwise I've never had anybody tell me that they thought my car was a vette, but A LOT of other members on prime get it all the time!

I live in the same state that Science of Speed and Mark Basch call home. :wink:

:biggrin: LOL :biggrin: - I hope she was... I'm about half her age! :eek:

Couple walking by the nsx outside a grocery store:

Woman: what kind of car is that?
Man: its a mr2

So the question is: Do you DDT or bodyslam that smuck that just called my beautiful nsx a mr2?

Hey now...I have an MR2 as well. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
 
I hate when I start talking about my car somebody chimes in with " I got a mustang,blah,blah,blah... How can some people relate a mustang or their dad's camaro to the greatest car ever built? That is like comparing a poop sandwich with filet mignon to me! Sorry, had to vent a little!
 
From small kids I get Ferrari and big disapointment 1 minute later until they realise...
Once in Luzern with open window I heard a guy shouting 'look an NSX!' Must have been an enthusiastic Honda-fan. :D

the best ever is when TL and CL guys roll up and tell me that they have the SAME engine as me..... maybe the block etc... but still LOL

You know I hear that far too much for it to be a coincidence. I think a lot of sales guys use that line – my friend who bought a 03 CL-S was specifically told that and that he could smoke NSX’s off the line and on curves. Incidentally, it didn’t work out too well for him when he tested out that theory….. schmuck.
 
They probably thought it was a Pantera...
At Car Craft this year, I had hundreds (no kidding) of people looking around the car and saying with great assuredness "Its a Corvette/Ferrari/Lambo/Fiero/Kit Car" etc. so I thought I'd throw them all off and hand drew a little oval with the word "Ford" in it and put that over the Acura name on the rear.
