Red face "Worst compliment" you've heard about your car?

Hello all. Just wondering what's the absolutely "worst compliment" that you've heard about your car. Note that this is about the CAR, and not the MODS. I'll start.

I drove it to work, and my female co-worker said that my car is cute. I'm like WTF? What part of my car is cute? It's grey, which isn't cute. It has black interior, which, again, isn't cute. Followed by the F-Sport package, which is FAR from cute!

So, let the weird compliments start rolling in.

"There is this nice "blue" car (or the word "Lexus" is used sometimes) in the parking lot outside. I think I might of marked it on the way in" - LOL!! That was from my co-worker playing a joke on me.

Or usually it might be, I tried to park close to it but somoene else had already taken the spots beside my car.
