Completely untrue. It just gets annoying, especially having people follow you around town.

While true, and he understands that, but it's a bit much (and they're not really that rare), it's just annoying being swarmed by people - Go look on the ******* internet if you want pictures or stats of the ******* car, don't waste our time, or go to the weekly car show and look at the 4-5 GTRs that are there.

It's pretty much down to one word responses so that we don't spend 20-30min of explaining everything to them. :icon17:

Maybe a bit assholish, but y'all would do it too after 1,000+ times of this - and I'm only there for some of it :rolleyes:, but I'm pretty good at just walking passed people and ignoring them.

Depending on how receptive I am of their approach and who they are:

"Thanks!"
"Thanks, it's a fun car to have."
"Thanks, it's getting to be that time of the year!"
"Thanks, you have nice taste." <--to the ladies
"Thanks, it's not as balls-out/fast as yours, but I enjoy it and it looks great." <--usually to receptive camaro/mustang/challenger owners; usually their greeting is a rev and peel out for no reason, though.

"Correct" or "Yes"

In some cases, it's "Get away from me" or "I don't carry spare change, sorry"

rosecrans is a pretty shady area.

I grew up in Coronado and got my BA from SDSU (in 1983). Rosecrans was a real treat in the 70's.

Today I stopped at a restraunt near a part of town known for prostitution, and 2 hookers came up to me and said "nice car, and can I have a dollar bc I'm thirsty". Needless to say, I said thanks and gave them some change to buy a peace of mind when I'm eating

madwi 03-25-2014 11:57 PM

"Thank you" is my go to when walking through a parking lot. If I am pumping gas and they want to talk for a few minutes I will chat with them about the car and what not.
