Old lady asked me "who makes Infiniti"
So I was at the hand car wash today waiting for my car to be dried when I noticed this old lady (@ 65 years old) checking out my car intently. She comes over to me and strikes up a conversation that goes like this:
Old lady: Hi, your car is really beautiful, what year is it?
Me: 2004
Old lady: Wow, it looks brand new. It is really a beautiful car.
Me: Thanks, your car (@ 1980 Olds Cutlass) is a real classic - they don't make cars like that anymore.
Old lady: yeah I know, but I don't drive it much - I only have 40000 miles on it.
Me: Really, wow.
HERE COMES THE CLINCHER!!!
Old lady: Who makes Infiniti? Does Ford make Infiniti?
Me: No, ahh umm ... Infiniti makes it.
I was caught off guard with that question. Has this ever happened to anyone? If you were asked a question like this, what would you have replied?

I eventually told her Nissan, but I think she was confused because there was only the Mt. Fuji emblem and the I N F I N I T I lettering. She probably thought I N F I N I T I was the model and not the make.
