Them-"Is that a race car?"
Me-"Sometimes"

Them-"What happened to your interior?"
Me-"Who needs interior?"

Them-"Are you gonna turbo it?"
Me-"No."

just about everyone: "your car is too low"

"how can you drive a car that low"

"i hate driving your car it's too low"

my response "it's not that low, i know people with lower"

and "we're gonna have to find another way around, i can't go through that"

and "SLOW DOWN! you can't hit that bump that fast!"
