Default gas station ownage

So I've been driving my new Z now for about a month now and still loving it, note I've Zainoed it and kept it detailed every week inside and out, and I keep a tiny 2oz spray bottle (target for $2) of chemical guy's quick detailer with a 16x16 microfiber towel in the glove compartment for bird craps and stuff, anyway I was at Shell today filling up my tank while quick detailing it with the spray to take some bird crap / bug on the roof and hood and this guy walked up and said "wow you're way to obsessed, your car looks super clean already I think you need to get a life." And behold there it is, he drives a ford F-150 with mud and crap all over it. Just to let people know how much of a "bad ***" he is with a dirty car Anyway just thought I'd share that with you and I saw a GT-R today and the girl gave me a thumbs up! good day at the gas station.

I've had the same conversation with a few people.

"You're telling me, you ride around with a cloth and some cleaner in case your car gets dirty? Are you serious?"

The guy in the F 150 is a dickhead.

I wasn't out to get into an argument with him since he obviously doesn't know how to appreciate cars let alone he thinks it's cool to run his F-150 in a mud field and not get a car wash for a month.

Actually, until I got the Z, I was pretty much the same way. If you drive a POS, you treat it like a POS.

Hey there's nothing wrong with a little mud. Up this way that's called a sealant..

I will be getting a gun rack for my 370 though as soon as I can find a NISMO version.

Love the Chemical Guy's detailer - smells good too! The've got an awesome tire shine for car shows (I use Optimum for daily - less slinging).

Funny how people think its OK to come up to you and make that judgement on someone they don't even know then tell you you need to get a life. What a contradiction - lol.

If people took the time to take care of their cars there wouldn't be so many crap boxes running around. Besides people who take care of their cars tend to appreciate them more overall. Its not just a piece of meat you know ;P

I wish I were cool enough to insult random people on the streets. That takes a real stud.

lol too true, I would start with two words...then screw up.... by that time my balls have dissapeared. Maybe if they really pissed me off...then it would be a bunch of cussing rather than some smart remark.
