Default Most common comments made by (non car) friends and family about your turbo project car

I'll start;

Friends: "Is your car up yet?" (with that rhetorical question tone in their voice)

Brother in the middle of helping me install axles: "Why don't you get a professional to do this???"

Dad: "How long have you actually driven the car?"

Dad: "Why didn't you save your money and buy a proper car?"

Mom: "I hope you've learned your lesson" (hell ****** no)

GF after every "tool time" session: "When are you going to start it?"

Friends I've made within the last year and a half: "I didn't know you owned an Integra!"

Thats the most common ones I can think of right now...

Dad: You're ******* retarded

Mom: What is that thing?

Friend: Nice race car, civic man.

Friend: Why don't you have those light things under it?


Girlfriend (with 01 prelude): When can I hit full boost in your car?
Me: Mmmm next question.

Is it ever going to run?

Exactley how much have you spent on it?

(looking at engine bay) Well it sure as hell looks fast.

Damn, this doesn't look like other Honda's.

...I could go on for days.

"why are you dumping all that money into a car?"
"car is meant to go from point A to point B!"
"get rid of that piece of junk and buy a new car!"
"why do you need all that horsepower?"

friend: "yeah its fast but.."
me: twists EBC **** and punches again
friend: "oh ****!" - while reaching for "oh ****!" handle on the roof

Mother- so why does your car need to be fast?
Co-worker- so does it make the "sucking" sound?
Idiot kid- So its turbo and super charged? (points to the intake manifold)

"Is the big tank in the backseat a sub box?"

"Wouldn't your car be faster with more than 2 gears?"

That's about all I've had from randoms asking me about my mustang. Running a water/air intercooler mounted behind the front seats gets a lot of wierd comments! Wife is pretty understanding with the cars, but I don't have any friends

Took a female friend for a ride, after I slowed down to about 80.

DAD: "you are multi time state champ on dirtbikes and u have way too many hobbies. NOW cut more grass, sell ur gay pulling tractor and just play with hondas and remember you have a dirtbike ur fast on and BUILT, a car that is 100 whp and you love it just as much even though you can get spanked by lots of cars. ****** retard, now cut the grass!" ....lol...he is more of a dirtbike dude and i am too since i am actually good at that.

MOM: "you need cheaper hobbies, and your toys are fast enough, we are still paying for your bigbore kit on your motorcycle!" "Get a good education and work hard when you go to college and you can have all the toys you want"....why always bring up money and the dreaded school stuff?

Girlfriend: "I wish you rubbed me as much as ur damn faded paint".....i like detailing

Me: "Pa (grandpa) gave me the car not you, I paid for the title swap so dont tell me what I can't do to it!"

Friends: "I am selling my car and getting a crx, this ****** rocks!"

"YOU DONT HAVE POWER STEERING!?!?!?!?!?"

" Dont go too fast, ur matchbox will float away"

"I couldnt outrun a maz's crx with my supercharged focus zx3" (3 psi) and it wasnt street racing just a pull from 0-60 leaving his girlfriends house ( Now he has a scion tc and i dont even try)

many more but ill stop, friends are dumb.
