So this evening I was driving home with the windows and drove past some goobers that saw the car and yelled “is that a Supra?!”

When I first got the car, I didn’t mind it much. But the more I hear it, the more annoyed I get. It kinda infuriates me now.

I thought about it and now I’m genuinely curious.

Where did this stupid catch phrase come from?
Who coined it?
Why?
Is it an insult? Compliment?

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks

Take it however you wish. None of that stuff gets under my skin. I answer the question politely regardless of the intent, even the "that's really a BMW" stuff. I know what I'm driving; I like it and really don't care too much about the opinion of what my car may or may not be from others.

At least they didn’t say ‘I think I know your car!’

:dunno:

I just did this to counter it. Now when someone says something I can laugh hysterically and be like “ I haven’t heard that one” and then slowly pass them
