can't believe this happened!

sonic370

I was at Target today doing a little shopping so when i got back to my 370
i noticed a white GT-R about 3 rows over. and the owner was walking around his car showing it to a friend of his. so i figured as i drove by i would show some respect and say something about his car. so in jest nothing smart xss
i said be carefull it will get away from you. and his reply was i bet it will get away from you as, he pointed at my car....duh no crap....

i was just trying to pay this guy a complement and he goes off....
sorry to ramble it just caught me of gaurd.......

"i said be carefull it will get away from you"

I would have probably taken that as you telling me I don't know how to drive, and said something smartass in return.

Well, to play devil's advocate, maybe he has heard that line from a lot of people and is tired of it. My last name is shared by several well-known famous people, and is spelled and pronounced phonetically. Yet, people insist on spelling and pronouncing it wrong. I am snappier about it than I should be, simply because it's the billionth time and I've had it.

Basically, you complimented his car by telling him he couldn't control something that powerful unless he took extra care. I can see where he felt like you were being a ****. Not that you were, he just got the meaning of your words different than you intended them. Similar to when I tell someone "You look nice today" and they shoot back "So I looked bad on other days?"

Ya if someone said to me "careful it will get away from ya" I would be a smart *** too

agree^^ and also, you have to be a colossal dumb@$$ to let a gtr "get away from you", it pretty much drives itself

In Russia, GTR drives you not you drive GTR.


Should of said something else lol... I'm sure most of us here would agree it sounded more like an insult to the guy.

sonic370

i agree with all of you. maybe it did come out wrong but i was smiling when i said it. and meant it as a complement to his car not about his driving skills..

lesson learned.... leave GT-R guys alone.. i won't park by'em anymore it makes the 370 look like a vw...! not really............

LuckyJinx

There's nothing wrong with parking next to them. Most guys in the gtr prefers it. The Z is he GTR's little brother. Just watch how you approach them. You're talking to a human being not the car haha.

I always stick with either "I like your ...." or "how do you like your ...?" Never sure someone has the same sense of humor as me. Otherwise, I'd be saying things like "What is a Gee-T-eR? Is that you? Do you play for the Yankees?!"
