I remember on my Jeep I had a snorkle for a while. People would always ask why does my exhaust face forward and why is is made of plastic. My normal responce was "So the exhaust doesnt come in tothe cab or burn my soft top, and its lined inside with metal"

I get the question about if my stacks work all the time. I also have a guy at work that thinks his car can pull my dually around the parking lot. Funny thing is that when I am ready to do it, he runs quick. Heck, I'm willing to provide the chain to do it!

I was at the liquor store the other day swapping out the keg, and the employee loading it looked at my truck (while it was runnning, 5 inch exhaust pointed right at him) and asked me "Is that a diesel?" So i responded back in a smart *** tone: nah, it just needs a tune up

I sometimes get "That things a diesel?". And also, the dumber one, if not the dumbest is "Did you plug it in to charge the batteries?"

haha that one cracks me up.
