What are the things you dislike most when others make motoring comments.

Why is your car so loud? Can you fix it?

What’s the fastest you’ve ever gone in it. I have actually had police ask me that question.

I’ve never had anybody say any of those things to me other than “nice car” (which is fine)
But.., I HATE when I’m washing my car and somebody breaks my Zen and says “do mine next hahaha” |

Things like this: "how much was it? dayum you could have bought two Kias for that!" "Nice car, did you also drive the new Chevy Trailblazer, that's what I want". And the classic "nice, but I wouldn't want those payments!" and they don't believe me when I say I don't have any.

ALL of the aforementioned!
Mostly these in Germany:- "Why that? You'll never be able to drive it flat out!" - "For me a fuel consumption over 20 litres/km would be insane. You seem to have too much money!" - "No brain but killing the environment!" ![]()

Well, there are exceptions. I recall a guy and his young son walking past my 996 Turbo. Kid said something like that's a car girls like. Dad got all red and shushed the kid as he looked my way. I just smiled. I knew what the kid was talking about. Another time I was in a gas station convenience store when some guy came in and asked me if that was my blue M2 outside. Fearing the worst -- parking lot accident -- I said that it was my car. Guy asked can I take a picture of it? Whew! Oh and I said sure. |
