Funniest thing that you've said about cars, that was horribly mis-interpreted?

I LoLeRSK8zed in my pants, huh-huh, yeah

Brother calls and states he has good new and bad news, which do I want to hear first? .... Bad I guess... Then he says with a snickering voice, "You Blew A Seal".... Good news???? I won't tell mom... :P

A guy at work has a camaro RS with a 305 and 4-brl(not an H.O.) any way he's tellin me how fast it is and ask if he wants to try a short run at a local track to see if its faster than the Capri XR2 I have.. So he's tellin me he just put in a rachet shifter and i politely ask what size did you use??? He has the deer in headlights look and I just asked if he used a standard or metric rachet??? The look was priceless!!!

We drove the XR4Ti for quite a while after the 2002 Challenge. One night I was at a local cruise and it was sitting all dolled up in it's Challenge fresh glory and some guy looks under the hood, then up at the windshield at the TOYO TIRES sticker, then back under the hood. He looked at me and said "How fast in the quarter mile?" I said politely "That's not really what she does, but its a 14 second car... pretty stock." "Really? I just don't like Toyotas." I say "Ford, It's a Ford. They were sold at Lincoln Mercury dealerships." "HOLY E36 M3, You're telling me they sell Toyotas at Lincoln dealers?"

Yes Cleatus.

Thank you. I had forgotten who I had ripped the term "Nuclear Beer Keg" line from to describe any mysterious mechanical objects that tend to be cylindrical.

I loved messing with RX owners as I'd write their car's up for work and asking if it was the 4 or 6 cylinder model. So many would pause and have to think about it for a second before they realized I was messing with them.
