Fuck you !!!

[Vicki]

Fuck people that think they are better than everyone else. This Vette was parked like this yesterday, in the front of Lowe's for half an hour. A poor little old lady had a cab picking her up, and it had a hard time getting to her because of this jerk. When he came out, I told him he was an ass, and no better than anyone else. He flipped me off. I have faith that Karma will pay him a visit.

Hat's off to you for letting this guy know. I just get annoyed and hold it in, thinking I'm the ass for being so peaved about it…

Just out of curiosity, how old was the guy? I tend to see just past mid life crisis dudes driving around in these. (FWIW I'm in that category but love my suby -- maybe I need a better job?) Never see young people driving them. Driving a vet is almost the equivalent to admitting you're a loser. (Sorry in advance if there are any young vet enthusiasts reading this : ) Parking it like that, there's no almost about it. You're a loser.

WTF?!?!? I LOVE the new 'vetts. Back in '64, I had a silver '62 vett. Loved that car and I sure as hell don't consider myself a loser however I have no doubt that others may have but it sure as hell wasn't because of the car that I was driving.

I don't understand your quote above.................in the least.

Let me ask you a question. If you think Vette drivers are losers, what kind of cars do winners drive, hmmmm?

But to the guy who parked like that.....................FUCK YOU!

And a shout out to Vicki for saying what she did.

new 'vetts

I'm down with anything that has 650hp, 8 gears and fat tires @3500lbs.. but ya fuck that guy!

lwien - I don't agree that driving a vet is the sign of being a loser either but one thing I will agree with....The number of mid-lifers and above driving high end sports cars outnumbers those younger driving them by a good bit. I started noticing this when my wife's 2000 Neon finally bit the dust when we were officially mid-lifers. She wanted something 'fun' this time and no matter how many sensible cars we looked at the response was 'that isn't fun'. Next car was a gently used Mustang Convertible. Truth be told I was surprised when that was her choice but man was I happy since it was always my dream car. My belief is that the reason you see so many mid-lifers driving these kind of cars is because they have a few more bucks than they did as kids and decided to chase a long held dream. I could be wrong though .... There's a marketing term, selective perception, which means you think because you feel a certain way, everyone does and I may be guilty of selective perception.

And just for good measure....a big ol' fuck you to anyone who parks and drives like the world owes them something ... especially those who park in handicapped spots that shouldn't. AND this goes for the folks who have a handicap sticker or sign that use them and aren't in need. I drove with someone who borrowed a car with handicap privileges and thought it was funny and OK to take advantage of it. We might have ended up as friends if I hadn't seen that part of their personality.

 

[Enchantre]

Fuck the 'vet driver.. seriously? he flipped you off? Aren't you needing a bit of assistance for mobility? if he actually looked at someone who is not 100% and flipped them off about blocking the way for someone with mobility issues.. well, that's a special level of karma.

And, @lwien , the cultural outlook on expensive, fast, "look at me!" sports cars is... the more you paid, the smaller your dick is.

 

[GetLeft]

Ok. I stand properly corrected. My apologies! Not all vett owners could possible be losers.

But I did see one do a few days ago pretty much exactly what @Vicki observed.

The cars are looking hot recently, no doubt. My son just yesterday said he wants his first car to be one ("50G and only 55G with convertible... I think I'll go for the convertible"). While I don't want to dash his dreams, I do hope he makes the move before he's 35.

Thanks for the reminder...I just checked myself....its all good.... but then again...its my wife's car

So I'm looking pretty good in my suby imprezza : )

 

[cybrguy]

I suspect the general trend is that people who drive cars like that are trying to compensate for something, whether it be a small dick, general insecurity, or some slight they think society has perpetrated on them. It often shows up in their driving as well, or their parking behavior as this asshole has done.
There are certainly the exceptions of people who just like small (or low) fast cars and aren't compensating for something, but I think those are the exceptions.
Not knowing the size of lwiens equipment I will assume for our purposes that lwien fits in the latter category, but as I say, that is NOT the trend.
The above particularly apples to the "men" who buy these cars that make them car poor. If they spend money then they can't afford to own these gems it is even more likely the above is true.

But a BIG FUCK YOU to ANYONE who parks like that or parks unauthorized in handicapped parking!!!

 

[Vicki]

This is going to be my next new car, probably this fall, maybe sooner. I may go with the black convertible top. It's on my bucket list.

This car might cost a little less than his, but he is no better than me, or anyone else. Fuck him if he thinks his Vette is better. I bet mine will be in the shop less than his!

I forgot to mention he was decked out with a lot of bling too. Middle aged white guy, probably over 50. Acted like he was royalty, and how dare I call him out.

 

[cybrguy]

Since we are talking about drivers A BIG FUCK YOU to drivers who, observing a merge ahead due to construction, ignore the fact that people are merging early and drive to the absolute end before merging. The merge signs and lights may be visible for a half mile. MOST people will move over into the proper lane 100 yards or more before the merge, and most of the rest will merge before 50 yards. A handful will not merge until they must, forcing their way in front of everyone else because they feel privileged.
A GREAT BIG FUCK YOU TO THESE PEOPLE.

And here is a thought. What kind of car are these people usually driving? Draw your own conclusions.

 

[RUDE BOY]

The Bad ass car = small dick thinkng always struck me as a sour grapes kinda thing, who in their right mind wouldn't want to drive the best you can afford.

...Pretty sure Going Fast in style with power to spare is pretty fucking nice regardless of if your only packin' 4 inches or up there hangin' double digits.

All that is fine, and I have no problem with it. I have a problem when these people are dicks to others, and think they are entitled.

 

[CarolKing]

Fuck you assholes that part too close. You park go into the store then you have some asshole that
takes up too much space.

This is how Wa DOT suggests people merge here, It's referred to the "zipper merge"

Fuck you Wa DOT.

Edit: +1 @RUDE BOY

I drive an old beat up looking 89 supra turbo sleeper with 5sp, targa top with just under 300,000 miles but it still pushes out 350hp on a cold day. (does not reflect penis size)

 

[scottg402]

Yeah I'm fortune enough to own two BMW's. I don't drive them because I think I'm better than anyone else. I drive them because I love the power, handling and style. Oh and did I mention that they are both 10+ years old and I haven't had a car payment in years?

I do realize that some folks see me like that DB with the vette but that goes with the territory and those who know me, know better.

There is nothing wrong with owning a nice vehicle. It's about how you act when you drive/park that thing and not everyone is like our pal in the Corvette.

 

[cybrguy]

And I don't mean to give the impression that I think EVERYONE who drives a nice car is an asshole. I know a guy, for example, who drives an Aston Martin. But he doesn't DRIVE it like an asshole. He MERGES at 100 yards. And he has the attitude that those people in line are the people who ALLOWED him to have a car like that. He appreciates that his success is funded by those folks, and treats people generally that way.
That isn't who we are talking about here, and who we are fucking. We aren't diminishing people because they've succeeded. We (at least I am) ARE diminishing people who succeed on the backs of others and then diminish those others for their lack of "success" and use their privilege as tool to assure the status quo.

 

[lwien]

Ok, this may come as a shock to some, but I think the reason why most people get fast, expensive GT or sports cars isn't because they're compensating for anything but rather because............they are just fucking fun to drive.

Actually, to the contrary, I think those that "generally" think that those who drive expensive, fast cars are compensating for something actually are people who are compensating themselves for their insecurities of not being able to afford to indulge in the fun that certain expensive cars can provide and being that they can't, it's easier to rationalize and make them feel better about themselves to believe that those that are driving these kinds of cars are just compensating for a small dick.

Again, I think the bottom line for most is not to compensate for anything but rather being able to afford the ticket for a VERY fun ride and I totally get that most people would not agree with my perspective on this.

Surveys don't usually make good science, but just for fun I thought I would share this...

[lwien]

One other thing that I think must be stated. If one is REALLY honest about it all, I have to state that it is also fucking fun when people turn around and notice the car that you're driving. Some will even give you a . Major ego boost.

And no, I don't see anything wrong in enjoying an ego boost now and again. It's really no different than a lady who makes herself up really nice, works out to have a really nice body, and wears really nice, styling' clothes and shoes. When people notice her, does she get an ego boost out of it? Sure she does. Do I condemn her for doing so? Absolutely not. There's absolutely nothing wrong in feeling really good about yourself and there are many ways to help accomplish that.

Should it aways be tied into how others view you? Nope..........but it sure as hell helps.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with having a healthy ego (a persons sense of self-esteem), and getting that boosted every once in awhile is just as fun as driving a very fast car or bike at 150+. (well..........not quite, but you get the idea, eh?)

What I abhor though is when someone will boost their ego at someone else's expense. That is fucked up and those egotistical assholes should be called out on it..............in public.

And, it may come as a shock to some people to know that a VW Beetle comes with a turbo engine.

Ya know what else was a REALLY fucking fun car to drive. The ORIGINAL Mini-Coopers. Nothing like going 60mph and suddenly making a 90 degree right turn and have the car track like a fucking go-kart.

I say.............fuck you to those that desire to minimize that which I enjoy.

I test drove that black Beetle, and I have to tell you, it has power! It's a bad ass little car! Das Auto!

 

[cybrguy]

Well, we have kinda gotten OT for this thread so I will step away after making this statement. In making your analogy I think you have made a critical mistake as the two kinds of ego enhancement you refer to are completely different in nature. In one case an individual has made a significant effort in working out to "improve" her body, applying makeup carefully (a skill, btw) and dressing in ways that she believes makes her look attractive. In the second example A guy went out and bought a car.

Entitlement may be a bad descriptive term for this, but I would suggest that the woman who worked at getting that ego boost is entitled to it because she got it through her effort. The guy with the car got it out of his pocket. Who knows what effort he went to to get the money to buy the car, but the car is a badge indicating what he has, not who he is. If that serves his ego that is fine and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is hardly comparable to ego enhancement that the woman might get from the effort she made to improve her appearance. In my (warped as it may be) view of ego enhancement, the woman in our story should get a whole different level of appreciation for her effort and support for her ego.

And FUCK YOU to to advertisers who would say the car is all you need. (to stay on topic)
