I'm at the skatepark every night, yes I'm still a skater punk. Anyhow this ones my favorite, and i get it at least once a week...

Them: "Yo man is that a GSX???"
Me: "No its a GS-T"
Them: "Aw man that sucks"
Me: "Haha ok" :tease:

My other favorite is the instant "Dude how much boost are you running?" question. I just tell people my cars stock, takes less time.

Both are questions that I don't find too ridiculous. I get asked frequently by others what kind of boost I'm running. If they try to say that any amount of boost under 15psi is too much, that would be dumb. Also, if they had ever driven or ridden in a GS-T VS. a GSX, they might have a point. GS-T and TSi are often referred to as "front wheel fail" even by their owners.

Those are normal questions any car person would ask you... I think someone needs to start wearing a helmet at the skate park.

'How much boost are you running' is the dumbest singular question a person can ask, and immediately solidifies them as a non-car guy unless that question was preceded by more important questions, such as turbo sizing for example.

Just to make my point a bit more clear to those that may be scratching their heads right now... Is that 15 psi on a T25, or 15psi on a 101mm turbo? You know, because the amount of boost is way more important than the turbo producing it.

Point is very valid. Though, not too many people would know what a T-25 is because they're all too busy fantasizing about boosting their hondas with 60-trim turbos.
