Dumbest question ive ever had is "How good is it on gas?" I always answer with "Insane!!, I never need to put any gas in there". I always seem to get the "omg really" response quite a lot LOL.

This one really get me:
Pop the hood,

"Wow, do you have twins?"

Do they look the exact same size? NO! IMO, they are not twins. These (pointing at my turbos) are compounds.

The absolute best DUMB question I have got...
While plugging my truck in for the overnight, some of my wife's friends from out of town were there and said, "why do you plug it in...thats odd."

Me: Well, it's a hybrid and I have to charge my batteries overnight so I can get 50 MPG's in town...they were impressed and asked what make/model so they could look into getting one.

some peoples kids

Him:"man I think it really needs new ones, you know you aint burnin half the gas your squirtin in your cylinders, that's why its smokin so bad". Me: "ooooh that explains EVERYTHING!!". I swear we need to thin the population a little sometimes

I almost forgot

In my senior year of High school, after an FFA meeting some of the guys wanted me to pop the hood on my truck.
So we're sittin there looking at it and this kid goes, "so does it have a turbo on it?"


Another kid from school asked the same question after listening to it idle with the 4 inch turbo back exhaust on it.
