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...

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.
