Which is understandable...but then why go to NOPI with an R34 GT-R and have some huge display?

He's an a$$.

Beats me. Just presenting an alternate viewpoint.

He sure sounds like an a$$, but setting up a display at NOPI doesn't require him to be polite. You approached him, remember.

I didn't approach anyone, as I wasn't there.

No one's ever required to be polite, but he's obviously quite proud of himself and his car (attention whore) so I still say he's an a$$ if he sets up like that and is an unreasonable d!ck to people trying to talk to him about his car.

I don't think any of us ever said it was a requirement. It's just an observation...he's an a$$.

If your bring the car to Nopi and have the hood popped, then you automatically open yourself to questions....No if's ands or buts.... If he didn't wnat to show off his car then close your hood and leave it, or act like your on the phone. Why would he not want to let people take pics??? I'm workign to get my vert nico tent ready for next year....It will be clean and polished, no custom bug effect this time.... Unless it spells out Nico....

Dude, that's a freakin brilliant idea for a paintjob. Have it painted to make it look like it's splattered with love bugs, but when you step back, it spells NICO!!!

Imagine how many fanboys like yourselves accost that R34 owner every damn day. Then, imagine how many were bugging him nonstop at NOPI. I bet you'd start brushing people off, too. That's all I'm saying.

And No, popping your hood at NOPI does not require you to answer every question or reply to every comment some stranger makes.

You 3 act like that guy owes you something.

But anyways, enough thread jacking.

When he first pulled in, I tried to get him to park with us but he gave me the same attitude about a "feature car" and drove away. Then he couldn't figure out where to go.

Bottom line is that he is an a$$.

I basically had to walk his *** out of the NICO lot. I couldn't believe he gave me an attitude after he asked me a question and I was willing to help.

What does showing off your car mean to you???If you pop your damn hood you know people are going to ask you questions or make comments about it. You going to a damn car show, where you show off your car.I didn't drive 422miles"6hrs"+ 72miles"2hrs"(master cylinder melting)= total of 494 miles and 8hrs to go to nopi to not show off my car. I did get mad everytime someone said somehting abotu my damn heatshield though.If you aren't going to be nice, then don't go at all. If he had some personal issue then why the hell was he at the show.If he bought that car that way and is acting like a d!ck then he can go crash into a tree and watch the car burn to the ground, I've worked countless hours on my car and been through hell form wrong parts to bolts just not wanting to stay where they are meant to be. I get defensive if someone talks crap abotu my car, Have you worked on your car? "no" Then get the fudge out of here......

Hell yeah. No haters on the bugsplatter paintjob either.

I wish I only drove 494 miles to get to NOPI, of course I had no mechanical problems so I guess it worked out.

I drove my dad's s13, which is immaculate and bone stock. Mine is about 95% hooked up with a redtop SR. Have you seen the five lug conversion pics and such? It now wears s14 SE wheels on nice, smooth, new hubs and bearings.

The ol' single slammer is going to live on in a 510 that my brother, Simmsled, is going to commence to working on.

Yes, he does owe everyone something, and that is plain common courtesy.

Just as you owe everyone here common courtesy, but feel free to keep going with calling staff "fanboys".

Wrong. He doesn't owe you anything. If he registered with NICO, or parked in your section, then sure, you could expect more of him. Oh, and common courtesy doesn't involve answering every question or comment from some fanboy.

Yes, fanboy. I think that's a fair label for these people. You want to make this a "user insulting the staff" thing? Well go ahead then, edit or delete my posts, we all know how you like to do that. I wasn't going to reply again, that last sentence of yours irritated me a bit, though.

I don't know Florida that well but if you're calling Repo or myself fanboys, that's just plain hilarious to me. You'd be making make yourself look like an *** far better than I could ever hope to accomplish.

Like I said before, I wasn't even there and someone buying a supercar doesn't impress me much -- but if you set up like some grand poobah at a (largely) rice show and respond like a d!ck to even the simplest of compliments, not questions, you're a certified a$$.
