I'm sure he meant it as a compliment. Maybe he thought your car was a Honda because Honda's are the most modified cars in your area. You were just part of the crowd, I guess.

If I was in your shoes, I'd just say thanks, where's my order and I'd leave it at that.

More importantly, lets get some pics of your Honda IS!

I had a guy tell me that my Breitling was over priced and that Breitlings were crappy watches... then he told me that if I wanted a nice watch, I should buy a Seiko

that's probably because there aren't many modded isx50s out there compared to civics, accords, etc. so when the guy first saw your car he thought it was a honda.

that's still pretty funny though hahaha

Well, this might be completely unrelated, but once I pulled up to the drive-thru in my R8 and gave out my order and the guy on the other end told me to turn off my Honda because he couldn't hear my order over the sound of my exhuast. I promptly told him that it has about six times the horsepower that a Honda has, then mentioned that they should get a better microphone, and proceeded to light up the tires past the dirve-thru windows and went across the street to Burger King.

Yes, 20-80 split will allow you to light up the tires even with AWD, granted that your nannies are off and you aren't worried about your clutch life.

it works both ways. generally, guys go crazy over car mods "you got the 2nd gen TE37s in bronze? that's sick dude". girls say "that's nice and pretty".

when girls go crazy over purses and shoes, guys just say "nice...they're shiny and black"
