My 50 year old friend's dad, who must be in his 70's, got up after dinner one night, went out to the boxster, came in and said, "Am I going blind, or does your Porsche really redline at 6500 rpm?" Evidently, he thought that was really, really high. He's an old school American car guy for sure.
Then, just last night, someone at a dinner party said, "Is it really true your oil changes cost something like $150?" After I explained that it's really about the same amount as he pays on his SUV, but I do them every third time he does his at $40 a pop, I told him about wearing out $200+ tires in 7500 miles. Everyone in the room freaked.
