Default Has this ever happened to any of you?

You're sitting at home on the weekend just doing your own thing when the door rings. You get up to answer it and standing at your door are two stunnas with thier caps on sideways saying something like "Yo man, we just saw your ride out front and wanted to stop by and say how bad *** it is".

What do you do with these kooks? It's happened to me at least 10 times and it's never been the same person twice. I don't have it in me to be a dick to them, but at the same time, it's really annoying.

If I'm at home in broad daylight I usually leave the garage open.

I was having breakfast at Harveys with my G/F and some old guy(like 70 years old) came in and asked who owned the white Acura. I said me and then he said how beautiful the car was....wierd.

Bingo! Your solution is to keep your garage door closed.

Last weekend went to visit a friend. I parked in his driveway and was getting a couple things out of the car when one of his neighbor's kids come over and ask me if it's a "real Type R". This kid was only like 10-12 years old!

Either that, or, you know, start charging admission to the garage (hint, hint, wink, wink).

I had one of them door-to-door church guys talk to me for almost 30min while I was washing the car. I don't normally mind talking to people, but NOT when I'm in a hurry to wash the car and get it out of the sun

yshi - who was kinda but tried to be

I have had people do that to me. Start talking to me while I am trying to wash my car, and I only have a Civic! LOL

Hell, every drive through I goto I have some kids asking me
"what you got under the hood" to which I reply "nothing, no really nothing"

or "are those real spoons" to which I reply "no they are real rotas"

or "what you run in the quarter" to which I reply "I dont run the quarter"

It gets really irritating. Because they are trying to be all cool and **** with their stunna talk.

they all appear to be different, but they are probably an organized group gathering info about you and your car. They are planning an elaborate heist. Be careful.

Here's how I would have handled it

"what you got under the hood" to which I would reply "a motor, transmission, battery, you know the usual"

"are those real spoons" to which I would reply "I got real spoons in my kitchen cabinet"

"what you run in the quarter" to which I would reply "my quarter runs for 25 cents, which I use it for laundry"

Since I've removed all the badges/stickers off of my ITR, I have not had a single "Is that a real Type R?" question asked.

That happened to me today when I was putting something in the back of my car. Someone came over and asked if it was a real type R, told me that his friend just got a GSR, etc....

Chris, who was nice, beause he's not as worried about the R in Pittsburgh.

yeah that's happened to me.

I had a dude flag me down once, and then leaned into my window and quickly picked up on all the "goodies" >> he had a keen eye.

I hopped out to chat and didn't think too much of it till I saw the engines sitting in the back yard
