No he prefers to call things by their trim level
even if they came standard on all models (of the same year)

Bryan Ortiz knows what I am talking about

 

saying i put a late model front end on my s14 sounds weird and most people dont know what a s14 is esp not a kouki. i usually have to say i put a 97-98 front end then they say oh a silvia front im like no.... its just a 97-98 240sx then some people dont even know what a 240sx is... i give up i dont explain anymore lol

 

one guy thought my car was a toyota

 

never been an issue. i just tend to say year and car.

I had no idea it was such a sensitive issue with people.

 

no kidding. call up any parts store and tell them you need something for a chuki or zenki. i can already see it now, "is that kia?".
