Okay this is from wayyy back in march, but still hilarious. HKC's situation reminded me of this.

So. This exchange made me SO mad but gave me a really good laugh. So I was out with my class doing field work and everybody kind of parked all clustered together, whereas I parked away from everyone else. It was cold, and rainy, so I wore my pink Hyundai beanie. We're about to leave and this dude walks up to me:

Dude: Is that your Tiburon? (he said it like Ty-BEER-on. GAY)
Me: ..yeah *chuckles*
Dude: Yeah I kind of figured with the whole Hyundai apparel thing going on.
Me: Uh. yeah.
Dude: What's so funny?
Me: Well I just think it's funny when people say Tiburon the way you just did. But it's no big deal, most people don't think twice about it.
Dude: Oh. *points to a tC* Yeah you know the tC's replaced the Tibs right?
Me: *trying so hard not to be a smart---*Oh did they now?
Dude: Yes! Don't you know? The 'T' stands for Tiburon and 'C' stands for Celica!
Me: Oh. Yeah.. that is interesting huh.. except for the fact that Tiburon's have nothing to do with Toyota or Scion?
Dude: Well, I mean, yeah. But still. You see way more tC's than Tiburon's.
Me: Okay..? tC's are super cheap, everyone has one so that automatically makes you feel cool to drive one.
Dude: Oh yeah yeah I know what you mean, they're crap as far as performance!
Me: *walks away*


DUDE. REALLY? So what does this guy hop in? 1993 Accord. Original hubcaps. Super huge coffee can on the back. And to top it off.. angel eyes!

Sorry. I had to rant. Guys do that to me ALL the time. You see what I drive? Honestly, you thought I didn't know anything about cars?

not often does somebody burn themselves so bad that you don't even need to say anything to them at all.

He was obviously trying to hit on you. What an idiot, that has absolutely nothing to do with the tiburon or celica name. i don't think there are any TC's that aren't rice and we all know rice equals intelligence.

taste is a great thing, and i sure hope that i'm doing everything right. like the other day i wore my leather jacket. now you hear this USDA cattle crimes on the news and it made me think of how i must look to be wearing something that used to walk, and i hate wearing it thinking of that. totally uncool.

Sometimes I just hang out at a bar or club and watch the young guys make a**es of themselves trying to hit on women. The funniest part is when I see a guy do something I used to do and I now know will NEVER work. Things like bragging about what you drive or ordering expensive alcohol.

aww man, that never works. i used to work ini a restaurant and NEVER, let me reiterate that never ever did anything for me.

If it helps I have dumbass guys come up to me and say things like that too, but I hope the hell that they're not hitting on me.

^HAHA.

i just wish i had a girl come up. never has. i've come to the conclusion that 98% of the time it's against rules human genetics i guess. and even bringing it up is an instant repellant. so i have stopped talking about cars altogether.

for some reason, F1 is the only topic i've been successful at making a girl friend with. too bad she was a MOM. haha.

I get a lot of compliments on the cars from girls, just never intelligent ones. Last one I got was a hot chick and I was in the Tib. "I like this car. Yellow is my favorite color."
