I usually ask them "betcha can't guess what year this is" before they can ask me heh.

Honestly though, I can't tell you how many times people ask me if I have a "2J" and whan I answer yes, they freak out saying I have a "Supra motor." Even better is the confusion on their face when I say I'm going to swap in a 1J that has .5L less displacement....

I always get "what kind of exhaust is that?" on my SC400, then they proceed to say "sure doesn't sound like a Lexus!" In a good way

"What do you drive?"
SC300.
"What is SC300?"
It's a Lexus.
"Man, you're rich!"

.... (when he saw the car ...)
"Man, you're rich." (again)
"What does 'SC' stand for?"
Don't know
"What year is that?"
94
"94?"
Ya
"That looks pretty new."

The stock SC in fact looks kinda boring ...

I get the "what year" question alot, and now that i blacked out all my badges, i get asked
"what kinda car is that anyway"
Then, "is it a manual"
Then from people who know a little bit about it, "does it have the 2j?"


MY ALL TIME FAVORIT: i was at a gas station fillin up mid trip from just buying my car from the next state over, and this guy in this pickup truck asks me:

"Is that a chevy?" i almost shat myself
I respond: "Not exactly...." lool

... however, some of my friends who own Acura and BMW don't like Lexus ... any Lexus. They say Lexus cars are for the elderly.

What do you say?
