Almost the same " Is that one of those all electric cars? " as I was pumping gas into it.

Had someone ask me where the electric motor was. When I told them it had a gas engine, they were like yeah, but it's one of those hybrids, right?

I had a woman stand and argue with me over whether or not mine is a hybrid so I finally asked her, after about 10 minutes of trying to explain that it was a GAS ONLY engine, "Are you that dumb?". She got a hurt look on her face, but she finally stopped arguing with me about it.

Pointing to my wind-up key, I was asked "How many miles to the crank?" I told her that, with so many cranks on the road, who cared?

I've been asked many a time about my "Pull to start Handle"

I've been answering "You don't really have to Pull it to start each time, just once a week or so I pull it several times to wind the starter, which then it engages when you turn the key".

Ohhhh! and they walk off thinking to themselves.....................???

I had a lady ask me the mpg I get as I walked into Subway. I came out to the car, and the same lady asked where I had to plug it in...
