actually my story isnt funny, but 2 guys in a stock 350z said they'd smoke my car and that it was a piece of cr@p. i know they are hating but i find it funny now. i just said good job and wow then they threatened to beat me up. oh well, funny thing is that when they pulled up a few cars behind me i saw them checking out the car and pointing to it. first time encountering haters in the x.
Gotta love the haters man! I had one today. I work at a coffee shop (learning the ins and outs of the business, as I will be opening one next year) and so I always park out front. It's funny, b/c everyone assumes I own the place.
Well today, there's this greddy turbo eclipse that pulls up and scopes it out (I ALWAYS have the X in eyes view) he circles it, snaps a few pictures and leaves. About 20 minutes later he comes back. Comes inside and orders a drink, staring at me, he finally says "you know my car could whoop yours right"
(oh god, here we go)
well he made me chuckle, b/c what kind of jackass says something like that. I look at him and say "You've got a nice car, however I got out of the kiddie cars about 4 years ago, when I sold my turbo GSR"
welllllllllll that didnt go over to well, he responded by saying, my nsx is slow and he could do this and that with his car.
(i have become a master at tuning people out, when I'm in my happy bubble)
I hear him say one thing that caught my ear...and that was
Your car probably isnt a lingenfelter.....
I look at him and ask...Lingenfelter?? uhhh...do you think my car is some vette?????
"yeah, i know it's one of the newer ones"
at that point I told him to leave, for disrespecting my car, as well as every car enthusiast ever.
