You guys are probably the same people who follow me around town recording me with their iPhones. Some guy followed me almost the entire way home like that from Chilliwack last monday.
If you guys see my Ultramarine FRS around town and want to have a look, I don't mind stoping to show you guys. And to the people above, you really don't want people to even sit in it? I've already let like 30 people sit in the car if they ask. I must be one of the strange ones who see's this simply as a car! A car is ment to be driven and sat in! It's the only way to truely appreciate this car. bneale

I did a road trip to Kelowna this weekend... they were having a fathers Day show and shine at the city/lake park there. The entire JDM crowd and some guys from Classified motorsports invited me to bring my car in, they all wanted to check it out - said it was a shame for it to be sitting in the parking lot!
I declined, as I was headed back to Van.. but if I wasn't I would have for sure brought it in and let the crowd pour over it. |

Some people are just too serious and over protective. Don't get me wrong, I can't park my car anywhere unattended. Too many door dings in the past. But I'm still not so protective that I won't let people sit in it or enjoy it. Look at my sig for example! We proved the Offical/Non-offical Top Gear Boot test of satisfaction by getting Marloon to pose as our sample dead body! bneale

Haha, I wonder where they saw it. I've had a lot of people eyeing me while driving but I park all over since I drive a lot for work and have never once came out of an appointment and seen people standing around or taking pictures of my car.

Then as I'm sitting there eating my sandwich, someone almost crashes into the car in front of them while trying to enter the drive through because their eyes were fixed on my car. The next driver was a young guy and as he entered the drive through line, he stopped and whipped out his phone to take pictures. I kid you not when I say this happens to me at least 3 times a day. bneale

Suffice it also to say that when I receive my car I will eagerly join the active community and I certainly won't be hiding it from the world. People just won't be getting unnecessary access to it when I am not around, that's all. I am quite honestly not sure how that seems odd to some. EDIT: I have returned to this thread to check up on it regularly because I didn't want to be the type to post and run. That said, checking up on the thread has become a drag and honestly reduced my enjoyment of this forum somewhat. I'm kindly taking my leave of this thread. If for some strange reason someone wants to speak with me about what I have said here, PM me. Last edited by djjd42; 06-18-2012 at 11:37 PM. |

This is my first "brand new" car, and I feel that I have to more careful with it. Yes, a car is meant to be driven around and sat in, but that doesn't mean that I can't avoid normal things like getting door dings from parking on parking lots and getting the paint around the door handles scratched from wear.. you know? =/ Plus being a woman I am getting stigmatized for most likely not caring about anything about my car. Sucks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Hope I can be different, that's all. Having said that, I understand why being on a thread (let alone a forum) can be drag. This is why I don't comment, I just read. But I'm hoping for miracle that people would be respectful and decent this time around. |
