I felt offended...

[Yesitisi]

So, my girlfriend, who's got an 04 Kia Optima had a flat tire yesterday afternoon. Pumped it full of "inflammatory" stuff... Can't remember exactly what it was but, that's not the story...

I don't have time to patch tires and what not... So we dropped it off at a local shop and had it fixed...

They called and said that the front right wheel was cracked (steelie) and it wasn't very drivable.

So, we started searching for a wheel... Literally everywhere and the only place I could find one was at this place in Pittsburgh called All Foreign...

And I'm like, "sweet, we'll get your wheel, and I'll ask about various Nissan parts"

We get there, the dude is already a prick. His tone, his body language and what not...

I ask, "hey man, do you guys carry any Nissan parts... more or less 240's"

And he goes, "psht, f*** no man... those are s***ty... it's not worth it for us even to try... they're all rusted out and the parts salvageable for s***..." ... ... .. "all those stupid drift kids come in here asking but, don't want to pay the prices for them so we pretty much quit"

I was like, "oh, okay... but, isn't that an like 93 eclipse outside?" ... "well, that's just a freak thing.."

I felt ashamed of my first car... My second car... My fifth car... My twelfth car... And soon, my fourteenth car...



But, then I thought... We're supposed to be proud of our 12-20 year old pieces of history... not ashamed...

So, I wiped the tears away (jk) and sucked it up... And went on with my day...

Cool story bro? Shouldn't this be in general? Even though it pertains to 240's it doesn't pose much use in 240 gen.IBFTL/move

[adrianfromthecastle]

wow... that guys an idiot (in general) and not a very good business man.

Theres obviously a demand in that market... its like he doesn't want the money! But well... thats ignorance for you.

shiiit... If I had a shop and knew there was a large demand for product x... you best believe I'd provide with product x. Esp with the current recession, I couldn't afford not to.

[Dill_XD]

For some reason, in my experience people at salvage yards have always been pricks. You'd think an owner would be courteous, and try to help you get your part and get his money and send you on your way. It's appalling that the people YOU are giving money to to support their business can't even be the least bit polite, or even say thank you after a sale. Which is why I don't give them business.

[AZhitman]

Yep. Guy's an idiot.

Probably drives an 80's domestic car.

[Yesitisi]

Agreed.

Although it wasn't the owner, he was still a sales rep...

This was like a "big" salvage yard and what not... Everything was nice and clean and new... Hahaha

[KYZAAC]

thats the same as my local Honda / Harley Davidson shop, i was buying dirtbikes there since i was a kid, a cr 60, 80, 125, 400ex my father bought 2 4x4 foremens and a few years ago i bought my CBR600RR in cash $12900 and they wouldnt even give me a helmet, customer service is the worst i even seen, then a dude walks in asking about a Harley and they pretty much roll out the red carpet and walk right past me. never went in since. but ya, some ppl are just pricks man

[Dill_XD]

Yeah the Reps are usually bad because they feel they are doing you a service. Even though if you weren't buying they wouldn't have a job. It's ridiculous when the owner doesn't have the stones to tell his workers to not be d!ck.

[hbpignosePA]

to OP

i missed when you stopped posting

[TheRealNap0le0n]

im never ashamed of my cars... even when the cute girls at the movie theator were walking by my 91 camaro and i overheard them say cute guy, ugly car....

[zenkistic]

so, you are coming here to say that you felt offended, but you didn't have the balls to say anything.

[pj]

macho man randy savage ftw...yeah really OP guy, if dude was being a punk you shouldve let him know the deal...i thought pa guys were hardasses? anyhoo...dont feel bothered. obviously from this website, the ridiculous drift tax and the amount of these cars still cruising around....people like them and they are still cool and not crap

[JustDriftMore]

Ha you let that guy say you drive a s***ty car...excuse my french but i would have said, s***ty car? Go f*** yourself.

[drewce]

Agreed with ^ i would talk so much s*** lol

[EnjoiNismo]

What a idiot/fag.I would of blew up at him.

[xX RB Xx]

Haters should be your motivation.

[nevertheless]

Should have taught him a lesson..

[ZootedS13]

[adrianfromthecastle]

Should have taught him a lesson..

[Future_gohan]

Dude listen, all foreign is f***ing retarded. They charge out the a** for everything no wonder nobody wants to buy off them, I won't.

edit/

I needed to buy two injectors for my 300zx, well the injectors are different in z32s after 94, but they couldn't figure that out, and then wanted to charge me a 100 bucks for 2 injectors that I didn't even know if i could use..

So i bought them off someone else for 40 bucks, moral, don't buy from them

[Yesitisi]

yeah, i remember hb pignose... -_-

to everyone else... i've got to much to worry about to start a scene at some place of business somewhere...

the whole "no balls" thing... well, whatever... to each their own...

i guess my reasoning is that i'm a business owner... while knowing that our sales reps should not act like a condescending ***hole with our customers, i know what it's like to have to deal with a customer getting hostile over their opinion.

[pj]

you sir, make a good point

[OM3GA]

Damn that is irritating i hate people like that.

[nismobenzo]

[zenkistic]

Well, I didn't ask you to start a scene or get hostile, but if you don't reply to someone who "offends" you or your car, that means that you agree with him - or just wanna avoid him. However, if you play stupid, you don't have the right to come to us crying and express frustration (unless you are under 10).You could have told him, 'hey, I have owned that many 240s and I think it's a great car'. Simple, and you would had slept better at night
