Default GTA Snotty?

So I am on my way out of my neighbourhood last night and came up on a white AP2 with front lip at the intersection. After the left turn, I pull up beside my S2k buddy preceeding to say hi (or at least acknowledge him). The guy does not even blink! Rather mind his own business! I am thinking this is not the reception I got when I drove my previous S2K in Houston, Texas..... are people in GTA in general just more snotty? Are we too uptight? I have lived in TO most of my life and only in Houston for a few years....but boy those were fun times in Texas with the S2k crowd!

Your thoughts?

There's always bad apples in every crowd.. And the term "bad apples" is for a lack of a better word. There's no perfect crowd.. Then again maybe he or she did not notice you? Who knows really.

Maybe they knew that you haven't posted on here in 8 years and decided to ignore you trust me there are a lot of great S2K guys in the GTA. I have met quite a few over the years.

Ya there are a couple S2ks around my area that dont acknowledge other S2Ks, but i think the reasoning is that their not actually car guys/gals and dont actually look for other S2ks.

Where was it?

I generally get good reception from people. Then again, I rarely see other s2000's on the road.

I've tried acknowledging other S2ks and haven't had much luck. When I had my Dodge SRT's we all waved at eachother, same thing with Corvettes I've owned. I think some car groups are better at this than others.

Honestly I don't think you can blame a specific location on this type of behavior
There are wonderful enthusiast everywhere, as well as clueless assses

I would be mad as hell if I got stuck with only an 8k red

1- there are no fast cars, there are only fast drivers
2- the thrill of the lengthy pull up to 9 will never be equaled by the very short pull up to 8
3- the AP1 engine will forever be a milestone in the world of normally aspirated production engines
4- the AP2 engine is actually nothing special for a normally aspirated lump

I could go on, but I got other places to go
