Me: Wow! I bet that was powerful!
Car Show Attendee: Yeah...it did 250 MPH.
Me: Off a cliff?
Honestly, that is just about how the conversations go.

You see I have a BS meter. If I hear BS, then I'll just confront people with the BS. What do I care? If someone claims they have an accurate replica with a fiberglass body, then I'll just let them know they're either delusional or pathological liar.
My other alternative to the conversation is to just walk away from the conversation while the "most accurate replica" owner is in mid-sentence. I'm becoming a curmudgeon.
