Yeah, when I was installing my intake with a friend up at a local garage all the guys working at the garage came over to look inside the car when the hood came up. They could not believe how incredibly tiny the engine was. Nobody said anything for a minute until one guy was like "uh...where is the engine..." I told him it was the tiny thing behind the alternator.

Alfy strikes again!

I either tell them it's a rotary and show them the keychain (which is AWESOME because they get that stupid, "WTF" look on their face)
OR I tellt hem it's a turbo'd V10 and walk away.
