G was mistaken for an Acura lol

Getting my oil done at a local place. As I pulled in the tech says "what model Acura is this?"

I never really thought about it but I suppose the logo could look like an "A".

Needless to say I didn't have that much condifence in them. Think next time I'll get it gone at a dealership.

Ever happen to anybody else?

Lol, at least it was an upscale brand you were mistaken for. I've had a few people ask "what's an Infiniti?" but no mistaken identities that I can recall.

Not here either...

I would have told them "the one that Nissan makes"
At least it wasn't mistaken for a Hyundai!

When I lived in a house and had my own driveway I always did them myself. Was actually something I enjoyed.

New place is a condo with a cramped parking spot. Strata frowns on any sort of mechanical work being done there.

Plus ex-wife got all the tools in the settlement
