I hate haters...

[eqs]

Hi guys/girls, from my personal experience this has been going on a long time. I had this happen to me years ago (and I mean a long time ago) in my Triumph. A Triumph is not an expensive droptop or a very flashy one at all - just a regular everyday droptop for the everyday guy/girl. Kind of like todays Miata - say.

Anyways, that happened back then too. There will be mean people today, tomorrow, and far into the future. They are simply bad people, and they will suffer in the end. Doing stuff like that and vandalising is way bad karma. You know who the good people are - we are - we don't do that kind of stuff. We have good karma. And we are probably happier people too.

So even though that happened, I look at it this way, count your blessings, we have the Pcar, they don't. They are bad people, we are not.

It certainly is an irritant though, I feel your pain, been there. Maybe take a cab there next time or find a different pool-hall.

For you FTD, thank goodness you're away from that guy, positive energy is way better than negative. Negative is just like a big black swirling hole that's really hard to get out of - kind of like quicksand in some ways. Good on you, I'm happy for you.

Anyways, cheers - and your car needed a wash anyways didn't it

And by the way, my wife thinks I'm a little bit wacko talking to you guys like this

Thanks!!! I feel relaxed and peaceful again. Aaaaah. As the bumper sticker says, "Mean people suck". And remind your wife that she loves you because you are just a tad wacko.

Thanks, and I do show her and the kids, these posts.

Cheers

Funny. . . .

Two days ago I was cruising down the road with the top down. It was a wonderful day and I saw a 964 coming in the distance. I waved and he waved right back! (It was my first "wave"). Too bad that kind of camaraderie doesn't exist between strangers enough. Pathetic that you experienced such sub-human behaviors. I just hope that since my parking lot has 3 BMWs and 1 Jaguar S-type, my box is somewhat safe. It probably isnt.

JCL that's x'cellent. I saw somewhere that an old thing gone by the wayside is a flash too. Flash your lights when you see another Pcar. Let's see if we can get that going again too. Truckers and bus drivers still do that today, and bikers and cyclists too, they wave or nod.

I've been trying to persuade 911 drivers to respect boxster cars too, they've been calling them Chixsters for years and looking down upon them as being econoboxes not worthy of the Pname. Slowly, I think I'm convincing some of them. I've been involved in a long 18 page thread on a forum recently, and I think I got the message through to some of them. They don't seem to say Chixster anymore.

Anyways, cheers

Not sure why you would care what another driver thinks of your car?

Spitting on it, however is strickly a case of looking for a whupping.

Well, the comments weren't directed at my car or me, just all boxster owners' in general.

In a nutshell, a poster noted that:

"aircooled people make fun of everything that isn't.
gt3 people make fun of 997 people.
coupe crowd laughs at the targas.
356 people think porsches were stopped being made after '65
and everybody makes fun of the chixsters"

That's all that was to it, not much really, just banter from 997 owners.

Anyways cheers

I assume they call them "Chixsters" because they are saying it's a girly car? If so, then how come most of the members on here are male and most every Boxster I see on the road is driven by a guy?

Peer, I agree you did the right thing to just blow off that douche. I never really saw the point in getting into a fight with someone over something like that. It just makes you stoop to their level.

It's funny all those guys that call boxsters a chick car. Boxsters can out performance their muscle cars easliy. Maybe not in a straight line drag race but in every other catagory. Think I'll just hang on to my 'chick' car.

Peer,
I wanted to get good with a pool cue quite a few years ago, but coudn't find a place to play that wasn't full of ****************************s. All the bars with tables were always one word from a pool cue frenzy and the pool halls that didn't allow drinking were full of jerks who wanted to pretend they were bad-asses, but wouldn't go to the bars where the real ones were.
Nothing personal there, pal, just my observations of pool players, in general.
Doesn't help that I live in redneck land either, but I haven't had the problems with people dissin me or my car.
Maybe it's the shoulder holster bulge?
