Questioner: How'd you get your car soo low?

Me: I have an Air Suspension System, I basically have air bags at each wheel and I can lower and raise it as desired.

Questioner: Oh, So kinda like Low Riders?

Me: Um, not exactly. My system is Air. Low riders are Hydraulic. There are differences.

Questioner: Oh....So, it can jump up and down like a Low Rider.

Me:

I get the, "Can you check my car out when you have a chance, I think there's something wrong with it."
or...
"Do you have jumper cables, can you give me a jump."

...typical.

get called a car-fag heaps when I start talking cars with someone...

Seriously? I have never heard anyone call someone else who knows about cars a car-fag. Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Most people will start asking me questions about cars, I act like I dont know, then tell them I dont work on cars.

So then they start to tell me about there friends-uncles-cousins-brother in law that had a v8 fwd civic, or something stupid like this. So I tell them I dont know what any of that means.

I basicly dont talk to anyone about cars unless I know them personally and know they know.

when my girl and i meet up with friends, some are car guys, and we start talking cars she is like stop talking gibberish again you guys are so annoying with your car shit. screw you my dear.

I used to be a mechanic. Worst thing ever was meeting new people.

80% of the time every time, "my car is making this noise, such and such, is it bad, blah blah blah."

I don't fucking know. Take it to a god damn shop and have someone look at the dam thing. I can't diagnose your car from the shitty description you just have me.

For the most part I try not to talk cars with people I don't know. Or I have some friends that aren't car people themselves so I just stay away from the subject.

[Heisenberg]

Last summer I was driving home from a job with my boss and we started talking about cars. I told him that my dad had a 997 Turbo at the time.
Than I think he thought he needed to one-up that by saying his friend had an R8 W12, thats right, a W12. He told me that there were only two in the world and it costed like a bazillion euros.
Obviously he didn't know how much I knew about cars and I wanted to keep it that way so I just sat there quietly hoping he would stop embarrassing himself.

[low-eta5]

"Can you please stop talking about cars?"

No, no i can't.

Exactly

My friends are like Clarkson from Top Gear,

"Can you explain how [insert car related mechanical function] works?"

"Well [brief simplified explination]."

"You lost me..."

"........."

Why are the wheels slanty

[HighwayStarKG]

1) Why do you have so much camber or why are your wheels so slanty?

2) What stage "insert random car part here" do you have?

3) Can you look at my car for me?

4) That is a nice little car you have there.

5) Why do you put so much time/money into such an old car?

6) Oh! I had a "Honda model & trim level here" at "insert time here"

7) Do you go through a lot of tires?

8) I thought your car was an Acura. Why does it have a Honda engine?

Other person: "What's it matter, it's just a car."
