What people have told YOU about YOUR car

[Kansei]

here's how it always goes for me. I have this friend who really in fact hates me and thinks I'm too stupid to realize it.. anyways he thinks that he can be my spokesperson or something, so here goes teh conversation:

Hot Girl: Oh Chris's new car is sooo cute!
My "Friend": I dunno I don't think it looks very nice, and plus it's a STATION WAGON.
Hot Girl: But it's really cute I love the way it looks!
My "Friend": But it's a wagon.. he was so stupid for getting the wagon.

This friend also said "oh that was a sorry mistake" when I told him that I got a used 2002.5 protege5 over a new 2003 Tiburon... ugh. Why would I get an ugly car with a gross interior and questionable reliability.. oh yeah and s*** resale value. This spokesperson also has this conversation often:

Some guy in my class: Hey is Chris's new car any fast?
My "Friend": nah nah that thing mad slow, and it's a freakin wagon.
Some guy in my class: Oh.

Got a compliment from a guy in a Mitsubishi GTS. We were cruising east on the highway at around 70+ just before sunset. The sun is shinning on the tailgate in front of him reflecting back into his face. Well there is an accident on the otherside of the highway so everybody on our side of the devided highway thinks that they must stop & look.

So the stupid lookie loo's go from 75 to 35. The truck in front of the Mitsu has dim breaklights besides having the sun bleaching them out. Well the Mitsu hits his breaks and slides a little side ways but keeps from smacking into the back of the truck.

I dropped two gears and changed lanes within inches of his rear end. After he catches up to me, he rolls down his window. I rolled down mine. He looks over at me and yells, "That car handles F$%#ing awesome! Sweet ride."

Some friend. You sure know how to pick them. By the way, what does he drive?

 

[jonlong]

lol, this is a funny thread.
My male friend: "Jon, your new car is kinda feminine"
My female friend: "Ya, that means that the ladies will love it"

I always get the one about your car is exactly the same as a focus. Last time was at a Tires Plus, I looked at the manager who was standing next to the kid and told him to get this kid some more training.
Usually I get the comments like "nice car, they sure do make em pretty now", "is that a WRX?", adn the best "I like your audi".

 

[DrAsperigus]

Yeah, I get the:

Pizza Hut Drive Thru Attendant: "Is that a WRX cuz I luv those?!? "
DrAsperigus: "Give me mah pizza b****. It's a P5."

 

[kolashaker]

The best compliment I ever got was a coworker saying how nice my car looked, and asking if I got a body kit. When I told him it was stock, he was pretty shocked. His response: "Cars usually don't look that good stock" .

This was a conversation I had with a friend the second day I got the car, when I picked up my bro from school two or so years ago.

Friend: Nice car, I see you only have 37km on it.
Me: Yup, got it yesterday ago.
Friend: You added a front bumper already, how much did it cost you?
Me: It's stock.
Friend: What about the fogs?
Me: It's stock
Friend: How much were the sideskirts?
Me: It came stock.
Friend: What about the wheels?
Me: Everything you see on the car came like that from the dealer, the only option is the sunroof.
Friend: (boom07) ?!

yeah, i forgot to mention that.. he has a 1997 hyundai tiburon (hah)(hah)

http://members.cardomain.com/koreanricer - it's got leather that is very dry, driver side has tons of stress and the back seat.. it's rock solid because it's so dry. everything is all worn and the car feels so loose to drive. plus, the clearcoat came off of all the plastic parts (spoiler, mirrors, bumpers) so it isn't lookin too good. I'll take a full blown station wagon over it any day.

I was going for the "get in the back of the wagon" look. Turns out that's "creepy"....(hand)

 

[leungwingkei]

Cheryl as your friend named it, looks like a train wreck. The headlamps are yellow and the interior is a mess, with the controls all over the place and the dash looking it came out of the 80s.

I always get the one about your car is the exactly the same as a focus.

Dont get me started on this one. Before I got my P5, I had a 2001 Focus ZX3. When I first brought the P5 to work I got the following comments:

"So where's your new car?"
"What did you do, paint your old car?"

My response was "Yeah its just like the Focus except it

- has 5 doors
- has color keyed body kit + spoiler standard
- was made in Japan, not Mexico
- is a better car
- will be worth more than my down payment in 3 years"

Why do you care if people talk s***? Doesn't matter to me. Take them for a ride along at an autox....

 

[SuperWagon502]

I get the same thing all the time from friends of mine who don't know anything about the MSP.
