I got the "midlife crisis" comment a lot when I bought my C6 in 2006 at the age of 61.

My comeback was "I hope so - that means I'll live to be a hundred and twenty"

The correct response to this is...

You: Do you have a Corvette?
Other Guy: No
You: So you don't have an a--hole? That makes you full of sh*#.

I find this one kinda funny, sounds like she knows a little bit about cars.

I took my buddy to the BMW dealership because he was interested in a new 3 series. The BMW salesman takes a look over my car which happened to be freshly washed/waxed at the time and then says. "I can get you a 135i with the Dinan package for 50K that will beat your car in any type of comparison you can come up with." I politely turned around, looked at a 135i and said "no thanks."

Everybody has something to prove...
