TOP 10 stupid answers for stupid questions

OK. I thought it would be funny to start this post and see what we can all add because I'm sure we'll be able to use it. So without further due, my top 10:

Top 10 dumb responses for dumb questions about my Smart
  • What kind of mileage does this thing get?
    • 80mpg downhill 10mpg uphill.
    • Not sure. It’s diecast and you’re not suppose to drive it.
    • Not sure. I haven’t stopped at a gas station yet this year.
  • Is it electric?
    • Yes. It runs on 4 AAA batteries.
    • No. It’s solar powered. I’m really going green.
    • No. It’s partial gas and partial hydrogenated beans. Just don’t stand behind it when I start the car.
  • Is it safe?
    • No. But it does come standard with a helmet.
    • Yes, it was designed by engineers from Mattel.
    • Yes. Very safe if you keep it under 10mph.
  • Where did you get it?
    • It came with my Happy Meal.
    • I won it on the Price is Right.
    • Toys R Us.
  • How fast can it go?
    • Downhill, it can go pretty fast.
    • Is that your Vette? Let’s do this and find out.
    • 0-60 in under a minute.
  • Is this thing street legal?
    • No. I just don’t have my sidewalk permit yet.
    • Not in major cities.
    • Is a golf cart street legal? Well there ya go.
  • How much did it cost if you don’t mind me asking?
    • Three installments of $49.99 on the infomercial.
    • Go to McDonald’s and ask. They have them there.
    • It’s straight up trade for a Hummer H2.
  • Do you actually drive this on the highway?
    • Yes. But you have to drive it on the shoulder.
    • No. It’s petrified of semis.
    • No. The DOT won’t let me.
  • What if you get hit with a SUV?
    • Someone in my family gets to go to college.
    • Get in and we’ll find out.
    • SUVs usually runs away from this little mouse.
  • You mind if I drive it?
    • No. I don’t think you’ll fit inside.
    • No. My orphan doesn’t like stranger (typical response: “HUH?”).
    • Sure. Can you buy me lunch? I’m hungry.

No! It freaks out if it runs into patches of yellow snow, so I don't risk it.

Change Price is Right to Let's make a Deal, and that would be a true statement. Someone in Vegas won herself a smart that way.

this one is about the only one i might use.
I just dont see me being that sarcastic to a total stranger.
they are asking because they just don't know.
i think that when you reply with a answer like many of these then it gives a bad name to smart. i feel like 'we' are representing the smart when we drive them people want to know and we should answer their questions as best as we can with out being so 'mean'.

guy asked me in wal mart parking lot this morning, excuse me, do you mind if i ask who makes that car? i answered him, and hold him how they got the name. he isn't someone i would have wanted to meet in the ally at night, but he was a very nice man thanked me and smiled.
what would be the reason to reply with something snarky like "mickey mouse made it" or " it's made by hotwheels" or fisherprice etc.

I've had more positive people than negative ones. i recall one person who wanted to argue the safety of it, he is an 18 wheeler driver.
