And when did you ever drive a car like that steve-o? I thought you were broke because of the wife and kids?

My bosses old car. He upgraded to a F430 since then. A few times a buddy and I got to drive it all the way from St. Charles, IL to Continental Ferrari in Hinsdale, IL to get his $400 oil change done. Everytime we drove it we were asked questions like "how much does it cost" or "whats the top speed" or "where did you buy it", etc, etc, etc. Not to mention tons of stares, honks, people trying to race us, etc. As much as I love Ferraris, I couldnt wait to get out of it so I could have some peace and quiet.

lol. Since a lot of scooter riders also ride motorcycles, I guess the lingo gets hybridized.

We both drive 2008's Honda Civic SI sedans. We love these cars. We wanted Honda's and they had to be manual. I have the black, hubby has rally red. The red in the picture isn't even close to the acutal color. It's much brighter then the picture.

They actually weren't in production yet when we ordered them. They went from the line to the dealership to us. 3 miles on mine, 4 on hubby's. It was exciting to me because it was my first car with all the bells and whistles.

I threw the picture of the blue one in just to show the back of the car.

Asking someone how much money they make is completely and utterly rude and inappropriate. Asking what they do is no big deal, however.

I've got an S2000 and absolutely love it. It's a 2001 and I have 12,000 miles on it. Strictly weekend pleasure 4-5 month out of the year.

I think most underrated car built.

If someone doesnt feel comfortable answering it, no big deal. The question in and of itself is not rude. Some people answer, some people dont. So if her friend asked her, upon her getting a new job, "how much did they start you at", is that rude?
