when your friend in the passenger seat thinks your RX-8 is going to break revving all teh way to 9000 RPMS and you have to explain to him that its a rotary 9000 RPM = 3000 RPM in a piston engine haha. and your freind suddenly is educated and shocked at the same time.

Or the fact your neighbors and friends asks you, so how many cylinders it has and you say it doesn't have any cylinders, its a rotary and you try to explain to them and they stilll look dumbfounded and you refer them to the internet and look up rotary engine haha. Meanwhile, you're giving them a history lecture that this isn't a new engine technology, that's its been around for the past 40 years. haha.

When someone gets stuck in the rear seat when they (stupidly) lock the front seatbelt in the rear buckle.

The service manager tells you that there is no rental car, free gas or wash with the latest engine recall.

... when someone 'flashing' your car means you're getting new engine management software.

... when the inside of your hood and door jamb has become a recall and service campaign sticker album-- collect them all.

When someone asks "Is that a V6 or a V8?" and your simple answer is "Neither".
