Thumbs down Own A Lex? Annoying Things That People Ask You..

Well, here are the top annoying questions that strangers ask me whenever I get out of my car or at a stoplight..

1) Hey there, how much you pay for your rims?
2) Hey what do you do for a living?
3) I want to make my car like yours, can you hook me up with a good price?
4) Wow, where do you get all the money from? ** I really hate this question**
5) How much have you spent on your car?
6) Why do you spend so much money on your car?

Its not that I don't like answering them, it just that I DON'T KNOW THEM.. Its getting a little bit annoying, I give them a fake ==> and not answer them... Don't want to be mean, so I just smile..

I have a bad habit of letting dirt build up on it before I wash the car (I know, I know, blasphemy, etc) so I usually get "Wow that's a really nice looking car! I bet it really shines up good when you clean it huh?" But it's cool with me, I know it looks good when it's clean, and even when it's dirty. I like it dirty, anyway

First thing I usually get is ......... " Wow. Nice color " on my Solar Yellow 2001 IS. THEN the first question is usually: "How much did you pay for it?"

but instead I just say "heh, no"

What are you doing next on the car? I think you need rims.
---(this really bugs me)

Is that a body kit? Looks nice, not too star trek or anything. LOL

I personally can't remember an annoying remark or question I get ever since owning a Lexus. I guess I'm kinda lucky around here

What year is it?

I guess the timeless beauty of the SC fools people. Mines a '93 but might as well be a 2003 to most
people.

How can you afford a Lexus?

I'm a student with a modest job so this boggles people's minds. Hey, I only spent about 8 grand!

So umm.. how much you pay for your rims? What do you do for a living? I want to make my car like yours, can you hook me up with a good price? Where do you get all the money from? How much have you spent on your car? Why do you spend so much money on your car?
