Here are a few exchanges with an old timer I work with:
Him: That's a nice looking car, what it is?
Me: 2003 Z06 Corvette.
Him: What's that mean?
Me: It has 405 HP.
Him: What would you need all that power for?
Me: If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand.
Him: What size carb does it have?
Me: Its fuel injected.
Him: So is it still a 4 barrel?
Him: Is it an automatic?
Me: Stick. They don't make a Z06 automatic.
Him: Is it a 4 speed?
Me: No, 6.
Him: What is the shift pattern then?
Him: That's a nice looking car, what it is?
Me: 2003 Z06 Corvette.

How do you pass up those opportunities to mess with someone?!

It's sick, but, once people recognize you and know you drive one, they give you that "there goes that vette guy" look (if they like it they ask about the car first, if they dont approve you just get "the look").
And this one I gotta use :-)

From the 18 year old step daughter of my Sgt:
Her - "Ohh, it's a stick shift right?"
Me - "Yes"
Her - "So that means it's like five times faster than it really is?!"
Me -
She was 100% serious.

Wife Pissed
My wife got pissed at me one night and she said I want out.
So I pulled over and she started walking.
So I was just sitting on side of the road wondering how far she get until
she wants back in.
It was not a minuate later my Radar started screaming.
There he comes, He slowed down by my wife and says you need to get
back in the car it's snakes out here.
So he pulls by me and gets out and ask me come to the rear of the car.
Get this, The first question he ask is. How fast can your vette go.
I had to pause for a second. Thinking this must be a trick question and
before I could spit something out. He asked Does that speedo say 200, I
said Yes Sir. Then he said have a good night.. Wild.
