"We are all ignorant only on different subjects" by ***

I'm sure the questions posed are innocent and naive, yet most on the forum respond with a sarcastic answer. I generally try to accomodate inquiries by putting myself in their place. To the average person this tiny thing is so alien.
I'ts the wiseguys that get my goat however...when they ask denigrating questions so that a defensive answer is required.

If someone asks an honest question about the car I will always give them and honest answer and include as much detail as possible; maybe too much.

But some guys are just jerks and like to put them down - i.e. the bull-necked idiot that says "it's nothin' but a golf-cart" - I asked him how many golf-carts he'd seen that could do 90mph and travel on the highway? Then he countered that he'd rather drive a new VW Beetle since it had 4 doors and was 'much safer.'
"Whatever YOU say." was the best I could do on short notice. . .
I'm not real sure he could fit the Beetle since he was about 400# . . .
