Cue face palm

was on facebook today and saw a guy w/ a used 2009 jetti tdi. he had like 8 posts in the last few weeks about how amazing his car was. (btw I hope no one on this forum acts this cocky about our car)

heres a couple gems:
"Haha.. its such a cool feeling to get 'the nod' from other people with nice cars ;-)"
"Bentley. And a yellow Ferrari. . Haha.. its how you drive it I guess"

"Honestly.. who hides a state trooper car on my home road... gahh.. atleast he complimented my car.."

"Hahaha " dude, you just bought a jetta, all the hot rich girls are totally going to be attracted to you now" haha.. o stop it you ... some people."

"you know what feels good on a slightly chilly morning on the way to work.... heated leather seats ;-)"

ugh I know it's venting but I think its more annoying than a ricer when ppl w/ sub par cars act like they are the shit and kings of everything

it is annoying and I know what you're talking about but to some the smallest things are the biggest deal.

LOL I'm going to give 'the nod' next time I see one on the road to make the owner feel especiale.

I think it's a bit silly, but i'm sure we all do the same with the FRS/BRZ.

Yeah. I've read some ridiculous stuff about people's experience with their frs/brz. Acting as though it's the greatest thing EVER to be built....EVER!

Don't get me wrong, it's a good car and I'm enjoying mine but people had a tendency to over exaggerate quite a bit.

Whenever someone asks me about the car (almost always at the track) I bring up it's negatives first. I probably sound bitter.

I think it's better to get the negatives done with first. Not only does it makes the positives sound even better, but also it shows that you're not just a fanboy, but that you really pay attention to the feel while you're driving.


All your base are belong to me.

meh. I get what you mean and I get what he's feeling. It's d-bag behavior and we are all capable of it at times. It's reason 672 why I killed my fb page years ago.
