Default do i race.. sheesh

happened yesterday.. needed to put air on"helga" that's right "HELGA", while walking towards the attendant to ask for free air, this guy was giving me this weird smile.. thought maybe i know him from somewhere or owe him money.. then he asks me "do i race".. i politely answered "race, no"... then he said something that made me laugh.. he said then why put all of those "things" as he called it ,i'm assuming he meant the fender vents, hood bulge, side skirts etc.. i told him it came with the car.. he points to his is250 and i told him "oh okay this is the is-f".. he kindda looked like this guy with almost the same expression to what i just told him.. priceless

Funny!! Lol
I listened to 2 guys argue over my car for about 5 mins. One was saying it's the new "F Sport 250" and the other one was arguing it was the 350 F Sport because of the pipes..... Terrible!

I've seen this happen first hand before.
There are actually quite a few people that are unaware of the IS-F model, and keep on insisting it's an F-Sport version ISx50.
