I'm walking back into work from lunch and a guy asks me, "Is that a Mitsubishi?"

Now I figure I'll ask what everyone else has heard.

I was at a Chevron station and a guy asked me if mine was one of the new Nissan models as he thought the styling was bold. Seemed REALLY surprised when I told him it was an 11 year old Subaru.

You need another catagory that has someone stating "What the H***?"

Once...and only once, a rather attractive young lady asked me if it was a Pacer. A Pacer!?! Well, she wasn't that attractive...

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Never, "I hate those windows, they're so ugly!"? Then a follow-up with your clenched fist planted in their nose... and then an explanation of what they contribute to the car's characteristics?

I've been asked if it was a '99 or '00 model before, and that was like two years ago. Also, by my signature, you can tell where my vote went.

People always ask me if it's a stealth for some reason. Then they ask if I did that to the windows.

Oops, I must have missed that one

I'm sure people are looking at both you AND the car

Do you still keep the seat forward all the way and in the highest position?
