This conversation occurred between me and an 18-20 year old gas station worker in the middle of nowhere.
Gas Girl: WOAH what is that car?
Me: It's a Lotus Elise
GG: Who makes it?
Me: Lotus
GG: Who are they?
Me: They're a British car company
GG: Is it fast?
Me: Yes
GG: What's it got, a V8 or V6?
Me: it's a 4 cylinder engine, the car only weighs 1900lbs
GG: Wow it must be fast then...but it's British so the cats and the transmission are backwards
confused: ). Must be tough to get parts
Me: Well actually the engine is from Toyota.
GG: I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS BRITISH!
Me: It is.
GG: Toyota is British?
It went on like this for another 5 min or so when i finally had to leave.
