So some guy pulled up next to me in a Honda Pilot today and says, "455 turbo?" I was like "What?" He said, "Is that a 455 turbo?" I had no clue what he was talking about but he sort of sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I just told him the car was new and I didn't know. I guess he meant horsepower??? But that's waaaay off, and there's nothing turbo. He then tells me, "You need to learn what's under the hood. People are going to be asking you that." Only after he drove off did I think to tell him there is NOTHING under the hood. I just googled 455 turbo and came up with some hits on American cars. Did he think it was a Mustang or something?

He was mistaken for sure!

Is your boxster a base or an S?

Either he was mistaken or he was just messing with me.

It's a base, not an S.

6 cylinder, 245 hp, 2.7 liter. Which exaclty is considered its size?

I'll be the first to admit I don't know that much about cars, just that I like to drive them.
