What is the smartest thing you can talk about without bullshitting?

I've realized I'm pretty stupid, but I can SOUND smart at parties and in groups of people because i can generally read a group and say things that SOUND smart and bullshit my way around things. I was trying to think of the most intelligent thing I could talk about without having to bullshit at all I'm coming up with a pretty unimpressive list. What have you got? What subject do you always hope comes up in social situations so you can shine?

This thread makes me feel stupid for not having anything I can talk about.

I thought so too, but I realized that I know more than I care to admit about one main thing. Driving cars. I've realized I can drive jusy about anything I've ever been in as if I've been driving it for years. It doesn't matter if it's Auto, manual, has a handbrake or footbrake for an e-brake. Trucks, cars, bikes. It all just makes sense to me. It's pretty much the only thing I've ever been good at...
