happened to me numourous times lol
Yup I remember last year I could barely see a coupe on the roads here, and I drive 85 miles a day. I'd see more corvettes and G's than coupes. Now I think it's finally become a little more common, I'll usually spot 1 every day or two, but still somewhat a rarity. I think even less common are Genesis coupes, I've probably seen like....3 in almost a year.

And the push button thing is funny, I get into my '06 Sentra now and then and have to remember to insert the key, but only after realizing there is no push-button to start. Hehe.

:biggrin:

When you park next to a CObra M'tang in the Mall of America and when you come back there is a palm print on your driver's window.

When you're pulling out of a parking spot, and a big pick-driving dude walks up to the passenger side window, leans over and you roll the window down, thinking 'oh crap maybe he thinks I was trying to run him over..' and instead you hear "Hey that's real nice car you got there, real sharp" even though it's not been washed in a couple of weeks (thanks to the rain I suppose).

(coming out of the mall walking in the parking lot with your girlfriend)
-- When a guy is just about leaning on the front of your ride looking at others nodding like it's his and then approaching him to ask him what kind of car he has and tells me it's a G done up and then look at him nodding as I unlock the car. (which was priceless)

. . . when people in other cars drop in behind you just to see your badge so they can identify the car (and then see only a burger and a script "Nismo")

. . . when a kid less than half your age from the 'hood pulls up alongside you in heavy traffic, looks the car over from stem to stern, then looks at your old gray head, smiles and nods -- and you smile back with an old man's thumbs up.

. . . when guys in other cars hear you come up beside them at the light and don't even try when it changes.

You know you have an Altima when you put all sorts of worthless fiberglass junk on it and swapped to a Nismo badge when you either have none or one Nismo item on it. You know when you are imitating a g37 and a real one pulls up and you realize you're too broke to get one and wish you had gotten a used g35. You know when you finally realize people aren't staring at you because they like it, it's because they can't believe all the junk you 3m taped to it.

Dood Really??? why even come on here at all??? :gotme
its one thing if you think my car reminds you of a g37, but its another to call everyone g37 imitators, especially since we all have newer cars & our aftermarket choices are pretty limited.

you know you're in kansas city when you have no job prospects, contemplate asking your sister to marry you and you drive a '90 champagne coupe.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. Gratuitously insulting others, and seeking attention by doing so, are dysfunctional behaviors, but, of course, there's no law against doing these things. However, generally speaking, people on this forum tend to treat each other with respect and often outright kindness. Regardless of your bravado, my guess is that, as a human being, you probably want to be treated with respect and dignity; telling us you expect to get attacked when you enter the forum with offensive behavior is at a minimum merely an anticipatory, preemptive defense mechanism, designed to take the sting out of receiving back what you dish out, and at worst may be an effort on your part to be treated shabbily because you already secretly have a shabby opinion of yourself. Regardless of the reasons for your behavior, the problem is about you, not the people you insult. My suggestion to my fellow forum members is to ignore you whenever you offer an insult, rather than treat you in the way you treat others. Perhaps, eventually, you will understand that one gets to experience others positively by treating others positively.
Regarding my own personal taste in modifications, you may not share it, you may consider my choices childish or worthless, and that is your right, but to gratuitously insult it is simply not fitting for a decent human being. I need not defend my right to my opinions or personal style (as long as I do not hurt or shame others), and I will not do so (because I reserve the right as a man who is old enough to be your father to be in my third childhood and enjoy the car I bought). However, I will indeed defend my right, and the right of every single person on this forum -- including you -- to be treated with the dignity and respect that human beings deserve from each other. All of us -- including you -- are entitled to that.

Your "didn't read it" comment is an understandable, likely untrue, defensive response, particularly in light of the fact that you were affected enough to take the time to answer -- I'm guessing just to try to give us the impression that you are not vulnerable like other people, and weren't hurt by the onslaught you experienced from others on the forum. In fact, a far healthier and stronger response, which would have engendered the respect you secretly seek from both me and others on the forum, would have been to say that you regret having offended others, and own responsibility for doing so. I don't mind saying I was at first personally offended by your remarks, because I am human and want to be respected, too; then I thought further and realized that your statements said far more about you than they did about me. Making mistakes and feeling vulnerable aren't weak, they're universal human qualities; failing to acknowledge and learn from them is the real mistake. My hope for you is that you will learn from these all too human mistakes, that many of us (including I) have made in the past -- and will find life much more satisfying when you learn to stop running into sharp edges and appreciate the importance of cultivating relationships.

^now that altima in your sig^ looks tastefully done. I don't hate the cars, just sick of seeing all the tastelessly modified ones with pointless eyelids and decals and junk. There's nothing wrong with styling your own car, but most of them look terrible. Atleast I haven't seen any of you with a gtr badge on one lol.

did you even see where I have two cars? You're an idiot. The maxima isn't 20 years old. Your next post will further prove your idiocy for sure.
