I’ve never had anybody say any of those things to me other than “nice car” (which is fine)

But..,

I HATE when I’m washing my car and somebody breaks my Zen and says “do mine next hahaha” :mad0260:

Things like this: "how much was it? dayum you could have bought two Kias for that!" "Nice car, did you also drive the new Chevy Trailblazer, that's what I want". And the classic "nice, but I wouldn't want those payments!" and they don't believe me when I say I don't have any.

ALL of the aforementioned! :( Mostly these in Germany:

- "Why that? You'll never be able to drive it flat out!"
- "For me a fuel consumption over 20 litres/km would be insane. You seem to have too much money!"
- "No brain but killing the environment!"

Yeah I don't recall any thing other than some form of "nice car".

Well, there are exceptions. I recall a guy and his young son walking past my 996 Turbo. Kid said something like that's a car girls like. Dad got all red and shushed the kid as he looked my way. I just smiled. I knew what the kid was talking about.

Another time I was in a gas station convenience store when some guy came in and asked me if that was my blue M2 outside. Fearing the worst -- parking lot accident -- I said that it was my car. Guy asked can I take a picture of it?

Whew! Oh and I said sure.

I usually say “there’s a car wash on the highway, I’ve heard they do a good job” if I even reply :lol:
