I love the last 3. I would comment on how you should pay attention in Physics.....but I slept through Brown's class and got a B. haha

I heard a good one from a customer this summer...he was asking about a cold air intake on his Audi A4 1.8t:

"So...if I put this on it will give me plus 5 boost?"

Sure did teach me how to hold a straight face when explaining stuff to customers!

along these same lines... my friend matt was recently asked if his R35 was "the new cobalt" at the gas station... wtf?! lol

"Neutral? Where's that? Oh! That's what N stands for?! I never knew. Why are 1 and 2 on there? And what's neutral do?"

Please tell me they were at least female...

No offense to any ladies on this site

"What's that third pedal for?"
- my girlfriend

edit: more girlfriend quotes
[Today when telling her a friend is selling his s2000 and offered it to me before he posts it publicly wherever he plans to do that]
her: "But I thought you were saving up your money to get a real car"
me: "It is a real car."
her: "Yeah, but it's not one that people use everyday - you've already got a race car"
me: [thinking she assumes an s2000 is some track only vehicle] "No, it's a Honda convertible. It's not like my Miata, you can drive it on the road."
her: [something else I can't remember exactly]
me: "I think you mean it's not a practical car"
her: "Yeah, I think that's what I'm trying to say"

Honestly happened during H.S. driver's ed (1985) when the instructor asked the student to please put the car in gear, the student replied, with a serious tone, "it's an automatic, it should just know". I was one of two students in the back seat, and we wanted out of the car.

This is an epic thread...

In response to autocross- "Is that legal???"

What is this, Soviet Russia? Private property is private, how do these people think NASCAR "gets away" with it?

I can't even count how many times I've heard the "Its only to get from point A to point B" line. Gets really annoying, especially since people always use it around me when I'm talking cars with someone and a third person doesn't know whats going on so they feel the need to interject something. Example:

Someone "Hey man is that your S2000?"
Me "Yep sure is."
Someone "How do you like it? Is it practical as a DD?"
Me "I love it, but its not super practical. Doesn't really bother me too much unless I need to move a lot of stuff."
Someone "How fast does it go?"
Me "0-60 in around 5.7 seconds. Its pretty quick for a 4-banger."
Third Person "Well I don't know much about cars, I just care if it gets me from point A to point B. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"
Me

haha, trolled

Driving anywhere in my 1969 Mustang goes as follows:
Dude: "Hey man! That's sharp! Is that a 67?"
Me: "Thanks man. It's a 1969."
Dude:"WOOOO that's sharp. Is it your Dad's?"
Me:"haha No it's mine. I got it when I was 14."
Dude:"Does it have the 289?"
Me:"No they quit making those in 68. I've got a 351."
Dude:"(insert any expletive)!!!!!! How do you keep that on the road?"
Me:"Practice."
Dude:"BURN IT OUT!!!!!"
Me:"haha I'm good....."
And then the light changes. I remember when I got it fixed up that my granddad was like "You'll have girls all over you in this!" It's more like beer-swilling dudes in their 50s *facepalm*

^^ Better than prepubescant ricers thats flock around mine. "Hey that thing got boooooooost?!"
