Poll: No tolerance zone for bitching

[EeveeElectro]

Agree with what everyone else has said, she should have been grateful you gave her a lift and left the comments to herself.
You need to calm down and stop taking everything so seriously though, not everyone will share your opinion. They don't know the car has served you well, they're just taking it at face value. I'd say you were justified but this post makes you come off as a sexist Internet tough guy.

She was the 8th girl to disrespect me and my car when I'm trying to help her out.

Either you really know how to pick 'em, or you're taking small comments way too seriously for your own good. I'm not saying this to be a dick, but if it seems that absolutely everyone is making fun of you, then that's a form of paranoia. Not every remark about your car is meant as a personal jab at you.

What he said. Surely you'd stop after the 2nd or 3rd time it happened? In a way, there's no one to blame but yourself if you keep putting yourself through this.

And I suggest my fellow guys around the world to take up the same stance.

You can't be serious. Since when is it fair for ALL men to judge ALL girls in the same way you do? That's like those 13 year old girls who say all men are evil because they've had a few failed relationships.

It was whiny and snobby of her and I wouldn't do something like that, but I think you may have been overreacting. She might not have realised how bad she came across, and you said she used kinder words. I guess I can't judge because I wasn't there and couldn't read her demeanor or anything.

I was talking to this guy and I told him what type of car I drive sometimes and he said something like "sorry" and patted my arm. He insulted the trusty Daihatsu, so I took it personally and said, "don't touch me!". Just kidding, I didn't give a shit.

I wouldn't put up with that, most chicks don't even know jack about cars. Most see nice rims and a loud exhaust and think "cool", even if they're on a '90 honda civic. I've rolled up in a '99 Crown Vic Police Interceptor 4.6L V8, and been told it's a "boring" car by a girl. Boring?! The thing fucking tears and it's a classy piece of metal, too. Of course not, all girls are that stupid about cars, and there are guys that bad, but generally, most are too absorbed with their cell-phone and makeup to bother learning much about the subject.

I think they're probably a bit of a bogan tool, especially if they have brand name stickers. Although I admit sometimes obnoxious mods turn my head and that "ooh shiny" part of my brain goes off.

V8 engines are just overkill though, and I like civics.

It's usually the opposite, if I see chrome or stupid brand stickers on a nice car, I'll immediately think "ricer!", then once I realize what kind of car it is, I rescind my mental statement. I like V6's and 8's because they give you the extra power that really makes the difference, in my opinion. When I drive a civic or those tiny four-banger cars, I:

1) Feel like I'm in a tin can with a lawnmower engine.

2) Have no head or leg room, since they're designed for tiny people, and I'm 6'3, and still growing.

They might save a bit on gas, but I'll pay the difference for comfort and style. Besides which, insurance is already raping me.

I lol'd because it's a fairly accurate description of how I feel driving a three cylinder car. I've never driven a V6 or V8. All I really care about is getting to where I want to go by the cheapest, most convenient way possible.

The second point made me think of this:

How was that a dick move? She was insulting your car, while you were driving her to work in it. I hope it started to rain ^_^

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Forgetting all the silly replies like the incredibly stupid general statement to the effect of "most women don't know about cars" and the liberal throwing round of the word bitches, I think you did the right thing. Perhaps just "Get out" instead of "get the fuck out" next time.

Cobb: "I have it under control."
Arthur: "I'd hate to see out of control."

That, on the other hand, is the tipping point for me. Must you use the term "*****" like that? It is making me think that there is another side to this story.

Sounds completely justified to me. Well done sir.

Holy crap, the only (modern) three-pot car I know of is the SMART. And while I want one for my driving exam (easy as hell to park and too slow to want to speed), I'd never want to own one. As for cost, when I'm driving, I like to enjoy it, if I want cheap, it's to the bike-mobile. I suppose the fun aspect will wear off eventually, but for now, night driving around here is a lot of a fun. I get to rip it up
