People ignoring the difference between DCT and SMG annoys the hell out of me. When I ordered my car, even some of the sales were calling it SMG. I couldn't care less at the time since I was ordering a 6MT, but it's still happening 2 years later.

One of my friends asked me what's the diameter of one of my xpipes and I that I don't know and he was so disappointed and looked at me and asked me "how come you don't know it, you own an M3 and I don't know it?" lol that was funny though cause I don't even care and I don't ever give a damn to find out either.

This is the most likely story.......... I convinced a co worker to buy a Charger R/t over an Audi A6, because it was American, had a hemi and Audi supported the Nazi's.. lol. To this day he is still clueless about his Chargers specs.

Confirmation that wanting to drive and being able to afford a nice car doesn't necessarily make you a "car guy".

Hopefully his has better tires, interior, and is lowered about 6 inches compared to the POS the rental companies buy.

Crazy thing is, a lot of rich, successful, supposedly smart people are like this. My boss, the founder of the company, is like that - he is obviously a smart guy and has been successful, but when it comes to details, the best he can do is distinguish his Porsche from my BMW. Some people just don't give a crap about the small stuff. |

That was a funny conversation indeed OP! It's good that you maintained your composure all throughout the conversation... LOL!
I bet you guys that the guy who does not know anything about his 2009 m3 got ripped off the dealership as well. He might have paid close to $90K for his 2009 m3 out the door with taxes and licensing.

Not surprised about the SMG confusion...
When I was at the dealer last week, waiting for my car to be serviced, I was ogling M cars in the show room. On the window sticker I read: 2011 M3 Transmission type: SMG If the dealers can't even get it right, no wonder some customers are confused |

Don't know what's worse, people buying these cars with no clue as to what they're getting, or salespeople pushing them with no clue what they're selling. |

I mean c'mon, you really think half of Ferrari owners know the first thing about their car? Have of them could give the complete history of Enzo Ferrari and the other half have replaced their owners manual with "The Official Dick Swingers Manual" |

Why does it bug you? It's a car. People like nice things. When you go buy a diamond ring for your girl, you probably don't know the first thing about it being a VVS1 H. Nor do you care. It just looks shiny and she loves it. Now if it was a D Flawless.... Now we're talkin! I say good for people that actually want and drive nice cars. Most non enthusiasts have to start somewhere! |

(It was an E, VVS2 and I'd like to think I snagged a pretty good deal ) As for annoying me, I take your point you can't expect all people to know what they're buying. You can expect a salesperson to know what they're pushing though. |
