ALL THE TIME, people ask me if I've going to leave my car running when i park (turbo timer). One guy didn't say anything until it turned off then said "Hey, did your car just die?"

my friend at one time thought that the "bump" on the hood was were the turbo was. I laughed at him and showed him that the turbo was in front of the engine, and that that bump was actually there to keep the timing belt cover from rubbing the hood

While at the track, and all my boys were there can attest to this:

Guy in V6 Mustang - "Where you get your rims dipped?!"
Me (confused as I look at my stock chrome 5 spokes) ...

Always get asked about when I'm going to get a BOV, or what is that noise when I shift. You'll notice that it is always a guy who wants to know when you're getting the BOV, and a girl who wants to know what that noise is.
I had one girl try and tell me she thought the noise was stupid...and I'll admit this made me angry so I let her know the only person stupid in the car was the one who didn't understand why that noise and the parts associated with it were necessary. She wasn't my friend and I'm glad that kept her shut up for the rest of the ride.
I can't talk to people who don't have a basic understanding of cars. If people say something wildly unbelievable or just plain wrong I try and steer the conversation onto subjects everyone present will be able to grasp.

Black Mazda MX-6 Turbo: Well, I do.
Light drops green, I embarass him and watch his cute girlfriend slap the passenger dash as she bursts into laughter at her dumbass boyfriend.

Honda Boy w/fart can: Nice Talon. Do you have the Eclipse motor?

Girl at work: Your car is cute, have you ever noticed it looks like an Eclipse?

Dude you should have hit on both of them.

Best thing ever said to me

Dumbass: "dude i see you have an eclipse wanna race"
me: no
Dumbass: Why man?
Me: my tubo isnt working
Dumbass: man hit it let me hear
me: ok
Dumbass: man its not spooling you need to re spool your turbo
me: bwhahahahahahahahhahahahahahaah
dumbass: whats so funny man
me: respooled bwhahahhahahaha
dumbass: alright man im going now
me: bwhahahahahah what a dumbass

the worst part about it though is i remembered it and started accidentally typing it on my question here. I got ripped on harshly by all you dsmtuners after i wrote that, then i was like whoops some dumbass got that stuck in ym head i meant rebuilt.

man respooled i still get a kick out of it.

best question though was

"hey man is that a tt300zx?"

i was rolling, he must have been drunk dumb gratiot cruisers , only 4 people out there actually knew it was a turbo talon.

Being in the Navy, I've come in contact with all sorts of people. Way back in the day when I first got the car. I've got a buddy riding with me when I get on it:
buddy: this thing got a v8 in it?
me: no, it's a 4banger
buddy: (confused as hell look, doesn't say anything else)

Another friend:
friend: what the hell?!? YOU GOT AIRBRAKES ON THIS THING?
me: umm...yeah...makes me faster because the motor don't have to turn the pump to pressurize the brake fluid
Same friend: Cool...you got a tv in here (talking about safc)
me: no...that's what I control my airbrakes with
And then a guy I work with a couple days ago (has a turbo'd civic hatchback)
me: so what all you done internally, it's sleeved right?
him: no, all stock internals
me:WHAT?!? YOU WANNA BLOW THAT THING?!? (He runs 15psi and wonders why it smokes now)
him: NO! Why? You got your block sleeved?
me: NO. My car came built right from the factory (sorta). Damn dude, learn your car.
I'm sure there's been many more, that's all I can recall right now.
