I parked my ST, some dude ambles up to me and asks “Is that electric?”. WHAT? I mean, you were standing right there when I parked, it isn’t exactly quiet.

I mean Ford has been at the forefront of the fake noise trend right?

Have they?  I’d argue VW is, but ford is close 2nd.

I have gotten that question before with my straight piped MR2. Even with all of the defining noise, it must be electric because I have a fronk . I really don’ t understand them at all .

He was proba bly confused because lately electric cars are the only ones that come in bright colors.

And they might think that all cars smaller than the average crossover are electric .

Their fake noise is at least analog fake noise, done with nothing more than a bit of pipe.

I think BMW wins on innovation and breadth, though, right? All the M cars, IIRC.

Should have said that the pops come from speakers emulating a fossil fuel drive train.

Literally today, my boss noticed my 11 year old Town Car in the parking lot and remarked “ wow, a Lincoln, parts must be pretty expensive huh?”

The guy drives a brand new Q60 and literally all of his direct reports have Lexuses, except me and another guy with an Acura.

I didn’t want to offend, so I just said it’s basically a fancy taxi cab and left it at that.

Just this week someone commented to me at work “Dude, you drive a BMW? Wow!”

My car is 16 years old with 176k miles. It’s probably in the bottom 1 % of value for cars at my work.

In 2008 I was having a chat with a Project Manager (he turned out to be incompetent, but that’s another story) and we were discussing cars, and I was commenting on how $ 30k on a car isn’t as expensive as it used to be, since that buys Accords nowadays.

He quips back “I t’s still super expensive to me!”

Okay, I think. Well walking in and financing for 72 months and hoping for the best on 0 down just to get an affordable payment is ridic either now or then, so I get it.

I see him driving in the next morning, he’s driving a E46 M3 convertible. WTF, man. Keeping that thing running alone is probably easily over 30k when you add the car in, especially 11 years ago and prior years before that when they were still very much in demand.

Did you say anything back? Maybe he was setting you up for a killer joke.

“Hey man, is that electric?”

“Uhm…no, why?”

“Because it sounds like a fucking vacuum cleaner/blender/other electric gadget !”

JK JK :P He was probably just an idiot :)

To be fair, you can get diesel Fiat 500s in Europe. Fiestas too, obviously.

I had a co worker give me crap for owning a 911sc meanwhile he was dailying  an 8 year old s4. He would always talk shit how much __ &__ costs. So I started making a tally he pretty much dropped the same amount in his car with 15 0k miles as I had for my beigemobile and 911.

That is so typical! Love that you have an SC, my friend is a Porschephile and totally wants one.
