Ahaha That’s a good one. So, first ” … build a car out of spaghetti, here “out of” sounds very close to “auto”, and second …seen her face when I drove “pasta” , the final vowel in “pasta” makes it sound “past her” . So, ” A) My sister said there’s no way I could build a car “auto” spaghetti. B) You should’ve seen her face when I drove “past her”. hahah.
Maybe the first ” out of” and “auto” pun doesn’t matter here. So, A) My sister said there’s no way I could build a car out of spaghetti. B) You should’ve seen her face when I drove “past her”. hahah.

Yes, you were right the second time. “auto” doesn’t come into the pun because in any case in English it is pronounced like “ought”. 🙂
Yeah, that’s true Prof but you know how easily you can mistaken all these short words that become even more weak in spoken context. 🙂 🙂
