ever since I got into the car scene and started modifying my cars, no matter how clean the car is, when people first see my car they say something negative, or something wrong with the car that is completely obvious,

has anyone else ever have someone do this to them? or am i alone on this?

example; i had a del sol, fully built engine, cf hood; very clean car, not riced out in any way. but when people look at it the first thing they say is "you know you have a dent on your fender?" or "your cf hood isn't lined up correctly"

another example; i bought a hail damaged civic, with a fully built turbo engine, for a very low price. I pulled into Subway, popped the hood to check the oil, then some teens come over look at the engine then say "you know your car has hail damage"

FYI - no longer a honda owner, just bought a XB2 last week, and freakn love it.

 

Was the same way with the Gen 1's...its just the way peeps are. always hating.

 

lol well lok at them and say "why thank you captian obvious. the world is safer knowing people like you exist."

 

^^ HAHAHAHAHA

 

All it is that they are jealous and wish they had a nice car like yours just ignore it

 

when people said stuff like that, i always commented back with a smart a$$ remark. when the teens remarked about the hail damage, i said that i didnt see the hail damage because i have astigmatism.... they thought i was serious,.. idiots.

when people commented on the dents, i replied on numerous occasions by saying "the dent is fixable, unlike your girls ugly face"

 

lol or better yet. used this one. umm thats not hail damage. that is heal prints from your mom...lol she was doing well till i broke her...lol

 

Next time say "Here's your sign." Anyone familiar with Bill Engvall will get it immediately.

 

It is a jealousy thing. I used to get a lot of crap like that when I drove a 5.0 Mustang. Ususally the from Chevy guys, but Ford and Dodge guys equally as guilty.

I recall when I got my first job after high school, I had a 1970 Chevy 1/2 pick up, that I worked a ground up restore on, shoe horned with a 396 big block turning nearly 500HP, and the day I got it back from the paint shop, one of my good friends at the time had nothing nice to say about it, since it was not a Ford, and he thought the color was crap, and said I should have done this, should have done that....etc. The f'king truck rocked, would run a 12 second quater mile. I wish I had kept it.

Love what you drive, does not matter what others think!

 

i actually havent gotten negative comments.... yet.
maybe i know the nice people who keep comments to themselves, but i know they're thinking something :D

 

Insults sometimes are a persons way of showing jealousy. they feel they have to knowck you down to feel better about themselves.

 

People whom I work with feel the need that there's only "one light on the back of my car" (their words). As if I didn't know that when I bought it.

 

Theres only one??? oh crap... someone stole the other!

 

jealusy and hate.... I get that kind of attitude every once in a while.. I usually just say "thank you"... I have family that are the same way... I try not to be an _______ back but... I am by nature...LOL

 

atually now thinking about it the only "crap" i gt about my car is it being a xB. i get my ***** busted at work but thats all it is, not necessarily negative

 

I've actually considered saying that to a few

 

the only time that i got any hate for my car was when i still had my stock exhaust. i backed into it right after i got the car so it just started to rust and was bent. but now that i swapped it to the sexy pipes that is the TRD exhaust i havent gotten any trouble

as for the single reverse i just give them the good old "no **** sherlock"

 

I've got some negative comments too. But everyone who has ridden in the car now thinks it is great. Overall I get a lot more positve comments. I still love driving the xB gen 2.

 

haha, that actually happened to me a couple about a month ago. i backed up and hit the curb with the exhaust but its not rusting. it got pushed into the bumper so all i had to to was pull it back down. i dont think its in the same spot as it was though :D

 

I get most positive comments. My dad being the one most confused about that visual look of the car, haha.

Other then him, I get compliments constantly for it. Here is the best one:

I had to take a potty break at sheetz on a trip, so going into the place I hold the door open for this old lady who must of been in her seventies at least. She looked pretty grumpy and one of those mean type. ANYWAY, my girlfriend was driving and I guess the lady tapped on the glass when I was inside and complimented my xB saying how nice it was and how they are great cars, and then pointed out her xD to my girlfriend. Anyway, that wasn't expected from her, but ithat is my best story, haha.
