I hate that. It's quite toasty in the cabin with the heat going.

 

I should've written down/remembered the name and looked her up and done that. Thing is, she was old enough her broker probably would have written it off to some punk ass kid.

I was in the real estate business at the time, and I was actually hoping I'd run into her during some transaction or another (still remember her face, especially with the horrified look after my assesment of her). That would've been nice and awkward.

 

i had something fukked up happen to me one time. i had gooten pulled over for a bunch of things and while the cop was standing next to my doors some guy drove by and said "yes! the owner of that car drives like that all the time!"

and the cop wrote me a speeding ticket!! oh man i was so mad! i didnt even know that person that drove by me, what an asshole!

but the cop was stupid. thats all he worte on the ticket. that some guy drove by and said i drive like that all the time. the judge said that was no proof that i was speeding and the ticket was dismissed.

 

yes stupid stuuf happens to me too! over the weekend these guys were trying to talk to me when i had the top down...they said something along the lines of "you jsut met to horny australian guys who are down to party with you"

then back when i had my old car (supra) this little boy in china town asked me to take him riding. he wasn't more than 10 years old. i said "your mom wont let you go riding with me" and he said "HELL YEAH SHE WOULD!"

 

On my way home from work my exit ramp off the highway makes a sharp right but doesn't merge into the street but runs parallel, you have your own lane the whole time basically so you don't have to worry about traffic. Well last summer in the S I took the turn and some idiot in the adjacent lane in a jacked up toyota truck with a fake police car light on top freaks out on me with the horn, finger, yelling, etc. Then he speeds in front of me and cuts me off. About 6 months later I ran into him again at the exact same spot only this time I was in my pontiac - no reaction what so ever...

I also notice people driving more aggressively around me when I'm in the S, like young dad's in mini vans and such. I think that the S has a tendency to bring out a bunch of negativity in other people.

It is just too damn HOT HOT HOT!

 

I got yelled at once by an old guy in a pickup. Was driving next him him for about a mile and hit a couple lights. I wasn't shifting out of 2nd 'cause I knew I'd just be stopping again... plus I love the sound.

So coming up to another light and the guy yells, "Would you please shift that goddamn thing before it explodes!" He seemed really annoyed.

I look at gauges [4000rpm] and yell back, "I'm not even half way to the redline!" Then I ran it up to about 8k and made the green light and he got caught be the yellow.

 

We've had shouts of "nice car", we get the as we drive along, and I LOVE the looks we get if we have a caravan of "S"s tooling along. People do a double take as we drive by.

Once a firefighter collecting money for charity at an intersection told me "You look marvelous in that car." I liked that And I didn't even give him any money. I already had given when I passed through the intersection the first time. Nice try, buddy.

 

Now that I got the invidia, I really dont hear those comments anymore, cause I cant. Come to think of it, I dont hear much of anything anymore!!

 

I have gotten the "nice car!" from kids...but not adults. There are some narrow-minded fockers here who see anything sporty being driven and assume the driver is some conceited whipper-snapper. I love pulling into the Honda dealer here, those folks just slobber all over it....

No negative yelling or anything of that sort....and that is surprising because I tend to drive a lot more aggressively in my S2000. So I guess its all in due time. I have only had my car for 5 months.
