I hate haters...

[VAPORBLADE]

I am going to be getting a boxster this month. As far as haters go - I have had 4 years of training with a HUMMER H2 SUT. If anyone is going to hate something, that is the truck. I have seen more middle fingers in that truck than ever in my life.

I think you did well too. People are just jelious. Maybe some guy in a boxster took his girlfriend back in the day.

Hey Brother -

I don't know if you read back a few days ago ... mine got "loogied" on as well (though only one) while I was at Sunday brunch. This kind of stuff is completely rediculous. Best of luck getting the stuff off, mine washed off right away. Some people are so envious that they cannot find it within themselves to express it positively.

I do have to say ... it seems like the number of keyings and spittings, etc has gone way up in the last week or two. Anyone agree? Maybe it is just that time of year? I don't ever recall seeing this many threads about this kind of stuff at any other time. Just keep your head up and keep on rollin' ... it's not his car ... it's yours.

Best Regards

Josh

Its insecurity. I dated a guy that hates everything. You couldn't even watch a comedy on TV without him spewing some kind of complaint or insult. He even tried to make me feel bad about my fun car. [He drives a Ford Ranger] Insecure people can behave like hate mongers because of their competitive personalities. They try to feel better about themselves by putting down whatever is around them. Its Bad Company. I say, don't even acknowledge these people. Look right through them as if they were not there or you are deaf as a door knob. The alternative of acknowledging or responding can be pointless and ugly.
:troll:
Or, smile and say something complementing to them. It disarms them.

Yes, this angle of agreeing with them or complimenting THEIR Ford Ranger sometimes disorients them. That is kind of fun.

This guy was looking for a fight. When you didnt give him one, the only thing he could do was act like a 2 year old and spit on your car!!? Well although I dont know you or him, it seems he may have been a little intimidating. Good thing you didnt do anything, because although large, guys like this rarely fight by themselves, even having the advantage. Although discusting as it may be, atleast in N.Y., spitting on a car does no constitute a crime. You handled this alot better than I would have. Wether it was good judgement, or a little fear (who cares), wash the car, and find a better place to shoot pool. Good Luck.

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.
