"Couldn't afford something faster" - coming from a coworker that drives a Dodge Charger RT, I keep trying to tell him my 300hp (maybe 176 at the wheels) will keep up or pass his 400+hp heavy weight. Plus it will actually go past 100k miles and still run like a champ.

"How cute my daughter has the same car" - I keep telling him she drives the 250, I have the big boy. (no offense to you guys with the 250) But whats worse is before the Lexus I had a Scion tC and so did she.

Another one I get all of the time..."Hey, is that your car? Yes. What is it? A Lexus SC400. OOOHHH, You got a Lexus? I heard they were pretty nice!" Punk, it is far more than "nice".

So, let the weird compliments start rolling in.
LOL I think my baby is cute there's nothing wrong with that!! haha I don't know about any worst compliment as most I usually hear "you have a beautiful car" :-D

His Charger does not stand a chance against your 350. Shut him up and run them.
