My theory is that nearly all other cars are FWD. All of the American cars other the big land barges and the Mustangs, Camaro's, Firebirds, and Vetts, are pretty much fwd and you find very few Asian RWD. Most people think small car FWD. It just amazes me how little most people know about cars other than put gas in it and drive. I is getting to the point that you can hardly even find a car with a stick shift anymore. People are getting more lazy and stupid as the years go by.

That does make sense, but also think about this: the e30 was realeased in 1984 and back then just about everything was RWD. Toyotas were still RWD, most of America was still RWD, even fords minivan was RWD until the late 90s.

When I dont know I always assume that old car = Rwd (I always know though)

The 80's was the turning point for "smaller" domestic cars going FWD. And when people see a small car that looks like it came from that time they think FWD.

WTF?

imagine if all the people around you are exactly as smart as you.

So I walk into the dealership the other day and am approached my a salesman.

Me: "I'm looking for a nice e46 - what do you have for me?"

Salesperson: "Right this way sir - we keep all of our 5 series over here"

This guy had MANY sales awards.

I was at a shop one day getting my muffler fixed and one guy looks at the front of my car and looks at the e30 badge I had on the front grill and goes,"Hey is that a real e30" lol I said why yes, Yes it is a real e30.

[JasonC]

I had a good one put on me today.

I was asked if my e30 was a Mustang. I'm guessing the chrome bumpers and round headlights gave it away.

[gearheadE30]

I'm not sure this counts but we got some of the new M3's in at work this weekend, and one of the guys said "that turbo V6 is sooooooo amazing!" I asked him where he thought the turbo was, and he proceeded to point at the alternator. I didn't bother to show him the 4 tubes in the headers instead of his assumed 3. Funny thing is, the guy (besides me ;) ) that knew the most about the M3 was a diehard chevy guy who drives an early 80s monte carlo with a C5 corvette motor.

[alpinweiB]

someone actually asked you if your e30 was a mustang?

i assume its rotary turbo with pistons

[utketa]

My neighbor came up to me the other day and said, "How is working for BMW? I can see you're taking advantage of the perks." I turned around to make sure we were looking at the same car(E30) and said "Oh yeah, they like to have us driving the newest product."

It's easy for me to play dumb just to hear all of the crazy things people will say because they assume I don't know a thing about cars. It actually works wonders when buying cars. "Dumb girl has no idea...let's tell her it's got a V8 with 500 horsepower and just show her all the cupholders!" It's a good way to tell if someone is honest though. If they try to take advantage, I just walk away.

It's also funny to hear what guys will say just to impress a girl. I never tell people that I work on cars, I just sit back and listen. I once met a guy with a 9 second WRX...hah.

I bet that's quite hilarious! I've seen some pretty stupid guys try to impress girls like that before...I just laugh my ass off inside.
