Default interesting tC, work related topic

So i have a co-worker, and they are shopping for a new car. They ask me for advice and i try to turn him onto the tC. Well he digs the car and says hes going to get one. I'm cool with that somone else to talk with about the car. Two weeks later he buys his tC. He gets the exact same thing i have. Not just a tC mind you, a FM, with the same options, in auto. On top of that he says he forgot to tell them about me refering him so i can get the referal. Doesnt really mean anything, theres tons of them out there. Just didnt think it was cool to buy the exact same car as somone you see on a regular bases. Now at sales meetings and such im going to have to take my wifes car. Slightly annoying.

I would just say mod a couple little things that makes your car stand out from his. That is really annoying though... tell him -->>

Ya, that would ____ me off. Go put on some sweet rims and drop it to really stand apart from him, it'll make his car pale in comparison to yours.

Yes, it looks like ill have to go that route. I didnt plan on mods for my car for quite some time. I was going to replace parts with nicer ones when the time came. Wheels are a must now...

Wheels and a drop are the #1 most noticeable car mod. You could do other things such as a sound system, exhaust, intake, headers, etc. but no one will really notice them when looking at the two cars.

If anything, don't be ____ed at him for getting the same EXACT car as you, thank him for pushing you to mod yours.

Just remember, imitation is the finest form of flattery.

You should have convinced him to get a RS 1.0 then convinced him that your grill was better. Then after his jealousy builds offer to trade him grills.

A girl at work was looking at getting a tC after she saw mine although she had the courtesy to say she would get a different color. I would be a little annoyed if she got the same exact thing, but FM is such a nice color, who can blame them. She ended up getting a Kia instead, lol.

Understandable!
Thats why I pay so much to mod. (Before I modded my car) ____ed me off when my friend(s) called me the same day saying...hey is that you in front of me? AND hey yo i'm horning you, cant u hear? etc. Then i PAID hard to mod out my car to be different!

Drop -> Wheels -> Tint -> Navi

I probably would be a little weirded out by it all. Next time you make a suggestion, leave off on the note "Don't imitate, INNOVATE".

I dont know I think I will get the color I like, even if there is a ton of other tCs out there with the same color as mine.

That sounds suspiciously like something someone would say if they did that to a friend/co-worker.... Hmm...

Heh, just kidding. It's kind of true though. Luckily in my area i don't see too many tCs, much less a FM one.

Expect to see a lot of look-alikes if you're leaving it stock...
