Did you it happen to you....

Did it happen to you, when you in gas station fulling up your gas and someone come over and checking out your car and saying all those good comment about your car. Like " nice car" " i like your ride" "Do you have a turbo because is look like a intercooler" For some strange reason a lot people think my car have turbo because for big stock radiator we have. I like hmm.. no i don't have turbo. "your car must be fast" lol I have repeat my self couple of times my car is not fast as you think it is... "it like a race car" lol lol People...

I get compliments all the time but I think it has to do something with my Lambo Doors! Other than them saying, "Nice Car", "How Much Did It Cost to Do That?", and "What Kind of car is that", I dont think Ive ever been told my car was fast!

The thing with my car is when I turn it off - the CAI makes that sound as it slowly stops sucking in air and most people at gas stations and stuff think its a turbo spooling down.

id be careful to who you talk at gas stations. many thiefs hang out there and write your plate number down and ask you about the car to scope it out. then they go and steal it.

ive never had that happen to me at a gas station tho. i had some dumbass attendant in a parking garage tell me how much potential my car has. he was talking about fast and furious and all that, and saying how all i need is an intake, exhaust and im gonna be the fastest thing on the road. HAHAHA i mentioned something about the engine and he got this blank look on his face cause it had nothing to do with rice. i left laughing.

an "ok" looking girl (good enough for me) told me my car was cool looking and asked if it was fast. i was just like "thanks! but the car's slow but this driver will go at any pace you want "

...my eye is getting better though.
