My Girl: "When you are done building the Honda, you are going to sell it right???"
Me: "Sure thats what we agreed on when we bought the house, just let me get the 240 motor swapped in so I can daily drive that and not the Jeep"
My Girl: "Ok"
Me thinking: "I'll just take my time swapping the motor so I can keep the other car to drive for awhile, its so fun"



People: " Does that thing have VTEC'
Me: "Whats VTEC, its a civic"

People: "Whats under the hood"
Me: "A motor, some wires and a hole lot of other shit I have no idea what it does"

Friends: "Keep the car and sell the Jeep"
Me: "I rather have 4x4 for snow and trail rides, then sit at home because my car is underneath snow"
Friends: "But then you won't have a car again like all of us"
Me Thinking: Thats because you fags don't know I have another car sitting at home that will be faster then the car I want to sell."

Friends: "Dude you chipped your ECU"
Me: "Yeah"
Friends: "How did you do that"
Me: "Stuck a dorito cool ranch chip in it and have instance NASTY VTEC"

Not turbo related, but I always get:

"So...how many cars do you own now?"


"4...no, 5."

Most of my family/friends are car people

Still get the basic comments from people at work:
*Man that thing must suck gas
*Man the inurance must be so much
*Man you must have a whole bunch of tickets

The one I hate is:
"I could never own a car like that... I'd go to jail."

Yes, becuse having a fast car makes you drive like a complete fucktard.
