The insults are never ending when I drive my T/A.

"Throw some 20's on that thing man!"

"You think you the sh*t cuz you got a nice car?"

"Man my bruh's Impala would burn that thang!"

"What, You think you Racer X in this B*tch?!?"

"You need to slow that thing down playa!"

I generally don't drive around my house so I don't have to hear those things, but sometimes I can't avoid it.

Ok guys i posted in here yesterday but I had a good one happen last night. I got my car out of storage. It was sitting in my driveway haha. I needed to drive it cause my truck has a hole in the radiator. Anyway I go and put some gas in. As soon as i start it it stars missing. I barley get out onto the road and
it dies. So i start to diagnoise it. turns out when i hit the schrader valve on the fuel rail i have on pressure and white little chrystals on the end of my pocket knife. Nice huh?? This ******* cocksuck sugured my tank cuz I kissed his **** gf like 2 years ago. The real shitty thing is that I can't even beat his *** cuz I got 5 priors... Just wanted to vent some...

People are ridiculous. It sucks that there is probably no way to ever get a penny out of him to fix it.

Sorry to hear about the engine problems, bro. Not sure if sugar is your problem though:

http://www.coderetard.com/2008/03/28...snt-kill-cars/

So don't go do anything hasty and cause more problems!

And I'm sure you can get some help on here to find out what is wrong with your car.

Yea it happens. One time me and a friend were driving through a neighborhood going the speed limit. I hear this redneck yell to slow down...so i floored it and went sideways down the road. Granted this was a neighborhood where there are no cars on the road and the houses are about 20 yards away...no kids around, made sure of that.

i can be pretty immature when people try and tell me what to do

Yeah i don't think that it screwed with the engine but, I will have to take the tank out clean all the lines and a new pump and filter. I think it completely demolished the pump. It could be something else though but it ran fine until i put gas in it. I think that washed the suger down the filler tube. Im not going to do anything to this punk...Although i did think about some bb's down his intake...but thats not my style. Anyway thanks for the good words

I usually get more compliments than complaints. Usually the only people to give me dirty looks and rude remarks are old people, cops, and some dousch in a a red mustang that runs around my town. I don't get him. I've embarassed him stoplight after stoplight and he keeps trying, thinking somehow his 4.6 will one time keep up. I like to call him the Lil red stang that can't.

people usually just stare at my car....

every once in a while when im at a redlight or something and an elderly person or someone on a phone is next to me they roll their window up.. but nothing else..

if someone yelled about my car being sarcastically fast.... i would show them how slow it is....

Sometimes people in hybrids give me ****. But I tell them that I'm not a vegetarian and it still gets 20 plus mpg highway so quarter, someone who cares, you know the deal. Then I ask where their daughters are at every friday night. Cue up the hippie **** soundtrack.

As a side note, last spring when I finally broke the ole bird out from under the car cover and got it on the road again, I wanted to stretch her legs. Ended up taking it for a good spring cleaning spin (including a 20 to 70 mph smoke show) that influenced at least one of today's youth. As I live a few blocks from a skateboard park, the next day a 15 year old kid holding a skateboard said he saw my fun from the skatepark and had just secured a job working construction with the sole purpose of, you guessed it....buying an F-body. Guess some of today's youth isn't completely tainted....yet.

I told the kid while he was saving, save extra for insurance, tickets and rubbers. B/c chicks dig fast cars. You can say it's not true, or a dumb statement...but deep down you know it's true.

The only comment that I sometimes get is "oh! you're having a mid life crisis" of course I have to then explain that this is the only kind of car(s) that I have ever driven since I was sixteen! The strange thing is that there are some people who drive Corvettes that give snide looks but do not have the ***** to say anything! chicken s***s!! I personally could give a rats *** what people think, I buy these for myself and not to impress the idiots out there!
