Well, or they decided that if they park next to you, they have you, and a possible unknown to worry about on their other side.

If they park next to the island, they don't have you, just the unknown, which couldn't be avoided anyways.

I think their motive was more selfish than altruistic/polite. Of course, this flies in the face of my earlier assessment.

I also agree with some of the other statements made about it seeming like you cant own something nice now days. I almost dislike owning nice vehicles because of how much flack I catch for owning them. I swear just because I'm younger people cant catch the whole concept of a LOAN, from a BANK. ugh. rant off.

All through school I caught flack from students, instructors, etc. for owning a Trans Am. The darn thing was 9 years old, was worth less than their civic, and yet they were bent on assuming I had money or something. It really possed me off and I know exactly what you mean. That is part of why I ended up getting a G20. Noone is ever going to talk smack about "how much I must make" to afford that. It's way nicer inside than the WS6 ever dreamed of being, and it doesn't have to perform well. It's a daily.

You would have been better off with a simple "Godzilla owns" comment verses a your original comment which could be taken as a "snide remark".

When i'm driving a GT-R (company car) I always make a point to wave to my 350 and 370Z brethren. Driving one is constant hilarity though. It's funny what people will go through to take a picture of a car. It's not like it's a Enzo or something! I get some people that will park next to it to take pictures and stuff, I get a kick out of it. I can't say that i've had many haters say anything to me, most are enamored by being around one. I do get the questions about how much it costs and stuff, and i'm honest about it. I let people sit in it and play with the buttons and touchscreen gauges. I know 10 years ago i'd never thought I would be driving one and I would have loved the opportunity to sit in a car like this and play with the buttons, so I don't mind for people to do the same. I just don't give rides in it.

your company gives GTRs to its employees?

What kind of company is that? Where can I send my resume?
