    As long as there aren't any testicles hanging from it, you're good.


    OMG.. I hate those damn things!!

    Ditto

    If you have balls hanging from your car, I will judge you. Only exception.

    :laugh:

    This is my car. Yes, judged for sure! Mainly just asked why I drive such a slow/small vehicle. Reason is simple, I also have a CBR600RR & I would like to keep my license for more than a few weeks at a time :tongue:

    Everyone has a reason for their choice of vehicle so no judgement from me. (plus I'm a car/bike guy)

    Nothing can be worse than having Truck Nutz on your car.

    probably, but I don't give a ****. :smile: I love my car.

    The nuts hanging thing is gross and not funny!

    No hummer for me, if I ever did purchase one, it would be a military spec, not a pavement pounder like the ones seen on highways and streets, and never used off road.

    I drive a BMW, but when I had an Acura nobody ever made rude comments. Also, an old friend of mine seen me at the gas station and I stepped out my car he said "Look at you, all sketchy now"!

    In my region, a sketchy person is a superficial, all about them self type of person. I think I'm fairly considerate and go out of my way to help others whenever I can.

    And no, I didn't report her comment to the manager, and I still gave her a great tip, hopefully that changes her perspective a bit.

    you are way too nice!!!

    She was probably trying to get a date... Seriously, it's a BMW key. It's not like you strolled in there decked out head to toe in gear screaming 'LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME!!!' (I assume that isn't what happened anyway) She had a motive outside of being a b***h.

    Right, eh? If he walked in shirtless, she probably really wanted an honest answer to her question!

    I bought a brand new 06 Mitsubishi lancer evolution off the showroom floor; everybody assumed it was my boyfriends. Now my husband that totaled it. Judge me not by what I drive but who I let drive it. Fml

    Well.. I do, but it probably isn't for the reason most people do.

    I have a 1999 Chevy Prizm. I love my car. Well, almost 2 years ago - I was in a fender bender that caused some minor damage to it. I have a high deductible and I refuse to pay that (and increase my insurance MORE) to have a bumper and headlight repaired. I've had people comment on my "trashy car".

    I personally find it ridiculous to judge someone on their car. I know a lot of people who don't have a lot of money, but find a nice car to be a priority to them. People assume they are goody-goody or rich because of their car.

    That being said - I wish people who drive larger vehicles (trucks, hummers, suvs) would stop being such *kitten* to people in little cars. Regardless of the size of your car, my car is still there and riding my *kitten* won't make me or my small car go any faster. As a matter a fact, I'm gonna slow down if you try and bully me.

    I recently got a honda pilot,so my whole family and friends made comments. They are like "oh so your rich now" or "wow id love to have the money to buy that". Its called a car payment and good credit, try it sometime....you can get things that are expensive without paying upfront :)

    Wow, can't believe a server would say that. Even if meant as a joke, really didn't come off that way!

    OP I assume you must work hard to have the car and while I do think her comment was out of line I applaud you for not speaking to her manager and potentially costing her the job. Hopefully she will grow up.

    BTW I drive a QX56. Please don't judge me tho. I needed something with 4 wheel drive ... Limited choices for a girlie girl.

    That is not a girIie girI car, I wouId sport one

    I've got a 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS and a 2010 Town and Country with a wheelchair conversion. I will totally admit that my vehicles are a part of my image. I hate the van with a passion, but it's necessary, as my daughter has cerebral palsy. I always feel like a soccer mom in it. In the Camaro I feel like the "real me".

    Yep.... had a Mustang GT for awhile.... labeled for that...

    Replaced with a hybrid and I can't shake the "tree-hugger" label. Not all bad, but... y'know, makes me feel bad if I'm spotted with a styrofoam cup.

    Then I got a different car... so now I get prejudged on other things. :-D

    I doubt it was just the car, probably a combination of the car and a hott body =]

    I own a quad cab, 4x4, Dodge Ram and I live in the south. Can you imagine the looks I get? A black man in a big truck. And I don't have tinted windows. I want people to see me in my truck.

    Lifted truck, they automatically assume I'm compensating for something.


    :laugh: I drive a lifted truck, I wonder what people think that I am compensating for????

    I don't think I've been...but honestly, based on personal experience, I think people who drive Hummers are a-holes! (sorry if that's what you've got!).

    That waitress had it all wrong... tsk tsk... :noway:

    I drive a 2003 Grand AM. There's a crack on the windshield that's been there for a couple years and I love watching it spread like a web. What does this say about me... I don't really give a **** what I drive as long as it gets me to point B safely. I'd rather have spending money than a friggin' car loan anyday. This way I can buy all the expensive foods and supplements I want... YayAhhhhhh!

    The only vehicles I discriminate are VANS! UGH! I hate them! Especially those conversion vans so popular with the "Latino" community! They should be extinct! & I don't need to know what part of MEXICO you're from! I can tell by looking at you if you're from MICHOACAN OR FRIGGIN' DURANGO or if you sell drugs because you got a giant NIKE SWOOSH on the back! and those little family stickies... eh, I'll stop right there.

    - "So, how big of a prick are you?"
    - "Wanna find out [implied: how big my prick is]? Just follow me to my car, I have very comfy back seats..."

    I would probably have answered something along those lines... It's a win/win: confused look on her face if she was trying to insult you (because she would probably not get the joke), and if she was trying to hit on you then she will see this as a positive flag.

    I have a BMW too but don't notice anyone treating me differently. The hood is peeling (bad repair paint job) so the body is not in mint condition but I didn't buy it for people to look at it, I bought it because of the way it drives... and have otherwise kept up all maintenance and then some. It's an 03. I'm going to drive it till it dies. Still runs like a dream.

    I don't pay much attention to what other people are driving - I only notice if some part is hanging off, it looks like it was in an accident, or looks like they're using it for a trash can.

    To the girl who had their car kicked in Boston - yes she probably would have mouthed off and kicked the car regardless of what it was. And it was probably either a tourist or a drunk on the way to the game. Tourists (not all I know) in town always seem to ignore the walk/don't walk lights - they cross in hoards at a snails pace not caring or even looking. I wish the Boston PD would start handing out J walking tickets.

    I drive a truck and I can say its you people in the little cars that do worse... I consistently get cut off in the middle of traffic by smaller cars because I am not going fast enough for them, I have actually been run off the road 3 times by smaller cars changing lanes into me so I don't actually think its just people driving larger vehicles that are douche canoes I honestly think that its just people in general. I do get where you are coming from and I would slow down too, in fact when I notice someone tailgating me I do slow down.

    My husband is a car guy and when I drive the older cars like the 67 Coronet guys assume I know stuff about cars. All I know is that I have to put gas in it and tell my husband when it makes funny sounds. Lol
