I never bought their tomato juice. It's basically acid... great way to get an ulcer

There's nothing simultaneously funny and annoying to me than people who walk up to my car saying it's something else, thinking they know my own car better than me when it's probably the first time they saw an AE86 in person. After a day at work I swing by a store to grab a drink, then some dude just walks up and goes "You're the guy with the AE86, aren't you?" I've never seen this guy in my life for one thing. I just go "yeah, it's pretty fun, what do you have?" We proceed out into the parking lot which he shows me an NA Miata with the most horrid roll-bar thingy I've ever seen in my life. I swear it was just cardboard.
Anyways, I show him around the Corolla and then he instantly goes: "Whoa, hang on this isn't a Hachi. It's not a hatch! Don't you know all AE's are hatches? You bought an 8-5 dude!" I then pop the hood and show him the build plate which clearly says "AE86". He then insists I scribble out the 5 and wrote a 6 on there, even though it's engraved into the body work. Then I just say "look, you don't know this car better than I do and unless you buy a Corolla you never will. I've put three years of learning and work into this car, nobody knows this particular car better than me." He then said "whatever, 8-5", and he took off in his car with screeching tires. Just as he did this his cardboard roll-cage came loose.
Sheesh, there's always a good and bad side to having a popular car, isn't there?

What's up with this arrogance? I saw an old Hot Rod the other day (it's in the DYSAG thread) and I walked around the car a couple of times, took some pictures and waited for the owner. I talked to the owner a bit, BY ASKING PROPER QUESTIONS. I didn't say, "Oh, I see it's a '33. Ford, right? Probably a Coupe." because I have no idea WHAT it was. It was a custom Hot Rod. I just asked nicely, talked a bit about cars, and bid him farewell.
I seriously hate arrogance like that.
If I walked up to you @guywithanAE86 I would immediately state my adoration towards retro Toyota's and politely ask build, trim, model, etc. I won't assume...

You have no idea how much I respect that, man. The only people who really don't go bats**t on me and ask me about the car are either fellow AE86 owners in the owner's group I'm in, a Porche 911 GT3 owner did that, and some really nice old dudes with Corvettes. Only the guys in the nice, not slammed cars are the cool ones around where I live.
That's the good thing for me with seeing cars with stickers that are ricer stickers, it's short for telling me "hey, let's never hang out." lol.

I know what it's like. I used to drive my dad's 1968 Pontiac GTO. People from all types of makes would come and express adoration for classic muscle. It really brings a smile to your face when another person wants to know something about your car, or appreciates it as much as you do. But when they start assuming it gets annoying.
One guy was hell-bent on trying to convince me that my GTO was a Judge. My GTO was a '68. The Judge came out a year later as homage to a famous line in Rowan&Martin's Laugh-In. Sammy Davis would repeatedly say "Here Comes de Judge". The Judge featured a Ram Air III engine. I had a Ram Air II. The Judge was supposed to be a stripped down version of the GTO to compete with Plymouth's Road Runner. My GTO had most of the popular options it could get. Hidden headlights, hidden windshield wipers, tachometer on the hood, etc.
In the end, I just cut his conversation, got into my car and drove off.

Had a guy ask if my neighbours car was a Fiat Panda Abarth, now they're pretty old and don't know much about the car so they just didn't answer. The kid then said "I guess it is then, what's under the hood? (In the words of Ian Callum "Bonnet man, call it a bonnet!")" and seeing as I knew I said to him "A diesel."
"That isn't an Abarth. Those old guys lied."
"No. You presumed it was an Abarth. Where the hell did you get the Abarth bit from? There isn't an Abarth Panda in the new shape Panda"
"But it shares a platform with the 500 so why wouldn't they make an Abarth"
"Probably many reasons. Like business case, cost of development and engineering difficulties in terms of cooling as the engine is bigger than the diesel one"
"Do they track it?"
"Are you acting stupid or are you literally just stupid?"
"What?"
"They're in their 80s. Take a guess"
"Pft. Whatever mate"
Ugh.

My favourite thing: "oooh man, an Impreza! But it's not a turbocharged Impreza, is it? It's a wagon..."
It has nothing to do with the body style, and everything to do with trim level.
Or, the opposites:
"it's just a Legacy"
"This thing must be fast as, man. What's it like when you hit boost?"
"Where's the hood scoop?" Only heard that once...

2 sides of that coin:
1) Fanboys who talk endlessly about it little things about it that they read on the internet. Think that they are "teh best thing evar!". Most are not actually owners.
2) Haters who talk endlessly about little things about it they hate. Usually are found on the internet to discuss why they hate it so much. All drive other cars that they are fanboys of.
None of this was directed towards you, just stating facts about popular cars.

A neighbor of mine has an extremely low civic (according to him, he's so low that he "sweeps the streets clean" 
) and asked me to check out what's wrong with his car. So I told him to pull my car up to the driveway that night. Knowing that his car is so dang low, I decided to be nice and give him a little assistance with the "driveway deal" (put planks for the tires so that the car will go up without doing anything bad with it 👍) and seeing this, my neighbor thought that it was an insult to his car, so he asks:
"(N-word), the 🤬 You doin'?"
I replied:
"I'm helping your car up, your car is a little too low for the driveway!"
He replies:
"🤬 You I can do this myself, my baby can withstand anything because Hondas are that mad tyte man!"
Me:
The guy drives up my driveway with speeds of about... I don't even know, but too fast, and all of a sudden...
*THUNKA*
His whole front bumper rips off.
The funny thing?
Afterwards, I was blamed for the whole mess, his parents somehow for some reason, believed his story and asked me to pay for his car and asked for my insurance (THIS ISN'T EVEN AN ACCIDENT), and I kept refusing, trying to give them the light of the situation.
A few days later, I caught him and his crew of lowered civic dudes swarmed around the front of my house, keying my Mazda6 and my brother's RX-7 (they didn't key my other brother's Accord coupe because it was a Honda).
Luckily my friends, cousins, and my dad pulled up just to see this. A whole night of police cars, questions, and chaincuffs ensued.
