Default Got dissed by someone who works at McDonald's

Sooooo today when I went to get McDonald's around 1230am, the guy working there said to me, "Woah is that a Lexus?? You fixed it up really nice, it looks like a Honda." Now I stayed polite and said thanks, but deep down I was pretty pissed he compared my car to a Honda... -_- Just ranting, but oh well hahaa, you guys ever have an experience like this???

I've had people tell me that they didn't know Toyota made the Lexus, likewise they didn't know Honda made the Acura. Think you ran into some dumb guy working at MCDonald's, not to worry!

Sounds like the compliment was delivered with good intentions, so just leave it at that.

That mcdonald dude is way smarter then my dude. I came across a guy that work at yoshinoya and he just straight out say wow, your car is clean! You're running a B18 motor huh? I answered I have a H22 and he said what's that? I replied a Honda prelude motor. He asked what's a Honda prelude? After that, I just told him nvm. But, if someone mess up a Lexus for a Honda I would regulate..lol

I apologize in advance if this offends, but you don't have a buncha cosmetic mods like 8000k HIDs, crazy low/big body kit, carbon fiber stickers on everything, and LEDs do you?

because I've seen a few 2ISes that do seem like the owners went outta the way to make em look like Hondas :P
