"Couldn't afford something faster" - coming from a coworker that drives a Dodge Charger RT, I keep trying to tell him my 300hp (maybe 176 at the wheels) will keep up or pass his 400+hp heavy weight. Plus it will actually go past 100k miles and still run like a champ.

"How cute my daughter has the same car" - I keep telling him she drives the 250, I have the big boy. (no offense to you guys with the 250) But whats worse is before the Lexus I had a Scion tC and so did she.

Another one I get all of the time..."Hey, is that your car? Yes. What is it? A Lexus SC400. OOOHHH, You got a Lexus? I heard they were pretty nice!" Punk, it is far more than "nice".

I drove it to work, and my female co-worker said that my car is cute. I'm like WTF? What part of my car is cute? It's grey, which isn't cute. It has black interior, which, again, isn't cute. Followed by the F-Sport package, which is FAR from cute!

So, let the weird compliments start rolling in.
LOL I think my baby is cute there's nothing wrong with that!! haha I don't know about any worst compliment as most I usually hear "you have a beautiful car" :-D

His Charger does not stand a chance against your 350. Shut him up and run them.
