Before I got my 2SS, I had a Scion tC (I called it the Tiny Camaro waiting to one day grow up to be a real Camaro ). I had to get a new key as mine had come apart, so I had to go to the a local dealership to replace it. I walk inside and this lady walks up and asked if she could help me, so I stated I needed a new key for my car. She gets a smile on her face and says, "well why don't you just get a new car". I laughed and nicely said "No thanks, I'm wait on something already". She asked me what I was waiting for and I told about the Camaro. She looked me right in the eye and said, "Oh, well you know they are only making 10,000 of them and this is the only year of that car." I got hot right away and said NO that's not true because 30K have been put on preorder right now and dealerships are looking to have the 2011 run with convertibles next year. She then said, well with today economy who can really afford a $45k car? I told her mine was $37k. The she told me how poorly built American cars are and how much better Japanese are built. I looked at her and asked her, "If that was true then why am I here replacing something as simple as a car key on my Japanese car? If they can't get a simple key right the how am I suppose feel about the whole car??? Now give me my damn new key!"

"I have one just like this, what year is it?"

or

"I have one just like this, except (insert color here), (insert different options here), (insert different make, or model here)."

Well look ma, it's an allcaps.

Adds some humor to the forum at least. Which, I suppose, is what this thread is for.

I pulled into a shopping center and as I got out of my car a guy coming out of Starbucks sees me and comes over to ask about the car. We talk for a minute or two and as he's starting towards his truck, he looks back and says, "Yeah, they did that car right. That car's slicker than a duck's *****." With that he got in his truck and drove off, while I stood there wondering if I heard him correctly as the cunning of that statement slowly sunk in.

Great comeback. Can't imagine how she felt after that deadly blow.

A guy yelled out at me in a parking lot the other day and said "nice car"! I thanked him and then he said "I got one of them in February and I put a supercharger, twin turbo and a 2 stage nitrous kit on mine already." I just nodded and walked away.

I don't know why people feel like they have to lie, especially on something they don't have a clue as to what they are talking about.

You could put all that crap on the car. God only knows how it would work, or for how long, but you could do it.

So much win.

By the way, if you haven't checked yet, make sure your tC isn't affected by the recall (or, in Toyota BS, "warranty enhancement") for the side airbags. Apparently they'll deploy if you shut the door too hard. How's that for Japanese quality?

The biggest indicator he was lying was that he got it in February, before production even started.
