I would fit in this part.

I wish i had the money for an black S2000(AP2) with a hardtop.
 
Overheard a concerning number of back to the future comments about the firebird, when people can't even get the cultural references right I do worry :indiff: Might get the odd comment at a petrol station, mainly when I have to ask other drivers to make space so I can get around, some guy said it was a 'sexy car' :scared: and some dweeb said it 'wasn't as cool as a veyron'...:odd:
other than that not really in a position to talk to people as I can't take it places to do things as it doesn't fit parking spaces/speed bumps, so it's really only used few times a month giving it a run to work or a short circuit around the forest.
The daily, my grandads 97 escort estate :lol: I'm sure everyone knows I know it looks a pos so it's not worth mentioning :lol:

You asking me, or is that what people say about your car?

Former: Hell no, not interested. Christ, I hate that sound. If I was I never would have swapped, the stock SOHC F22 is a better candidate for that kind of boost. No, I'm gonna cram in a roots supercharger intended for the larger 5th-gen 'Lude bay. Now there's a noise that'll snap necks!

2012 Focus Titanium Hatchback

Most people have no idea what it is since it's fairly new and the ones that do always say "I can't believe that's a Focus" or something about how Ford really turned it around. I also get asked how much I paid for it, which then makes someone whistle really loud and say damn.

I have had a few haters tell me it looks like a crappy Korean car or that it's a girls car (which really confuses me). I just brush it off though and just assume they are jelly since they end up getting in some crap from the early 90's.

I think the best one though was when I was at the 14 & Woodward morning car show and I had people ignoring a Ferrari to check out my car and even had the Ferrari's owner give me a "cool car" nod. I'm always amazed at what people find cool.

That is a damn good looking car. Add me to the list of compliments. Those wheels look great on that car, only if there were more celicas in that condition

Thanks! :D
 
I don't know if it's the same case over there but I find that gen celica seem to survive pretty well, better than most from that era, and what ones are about are reasonably good nick :)
 
Got a second person taking a cell phone pic at an intersection today. Thats two people in 3 days. Makes me wonder how many other people have pics of my car on their phone.
 
'03 Corolla.

All I ever really get is a friend of mine getting pissed off because far better fuel economy than him (he drives his dad's Buick Enclave). Also, I drove a guy home from work and he was a little surprised at the power it had, he was expecting it to be even slower than it is.
 
I get asked "How much fuel/oil does that use?" and "Have you had to do a rebuild yet?" and "Is it really a 1300cc?"

The usual...

"How much does it weigh?" Response "Enough to survive an accident with your Focus and come out looking like it got in a pillow fight".

- First car was a Lada Samara 1.6 GL. :)
 
Memory isn't that great, but these are basically about right:

R32 GTS-4 - 4WD, RB20DET, auto
DSC02861.jpg

- Turbo? (fellow Skyline/Modified car owners/passengers - usually while at the lights)

- Rip it up!/Do a Skid! (fellow Skyline/Modified car owners/passengers - while at the lights)
My response: It's 4WD, so i can't.
- Oh, good 🤬 bro. (or something along those lines)

- 🤬 your car handles awesome! Its amazing to follow it around those corners and just watch it! (former neighbour, who tried to keep up with me around some twisty corners - no chance at all :D)

- 'Sounds like a truck' (comment from someone regarding the YouTube video i posted of me driving it up the worlds steepest street, was recorded with a cellphone hence the bad quality)

- That won't be quicker than my Falcon. *gives ride in it* Okay, maybe its a wee bit quicker (or something like that :D).


R32 GTS - FR, RB20DE, manual
me4.jpg

- DAMN that looks tidy! (numerous people)

- Thats probably one of the cleanest R32's i've seen. (numerous people)

- 20million+ more 'that looks real tidy' comments from people (way more than i've had for the GTS-4)

- Turbo? (from a passenger in a Skyline or EVO sitting beside me at the lights)
My response: Nope
- Do a skid (or a hand motion to do one, or something along those lines)
My response: Nah
- Pretty mint Skyline man (conversation went for longer than that, but can't remember the rest :()

And i've heard numerous people talking about it as they walk past. "Damn thats a tidy 32". "Woah, thats a 'clean' Skyline". Etc etc
Plus likely heaps of comments i can't remember. Been quite unreal really. :)

I've easily had twice as many comments about the GTS than the GTS-4 though. :) Makes me feel sorry for the poor GTS-4. :guilty:

GTS does really look clean though :)

I ono what people say about my cars.. But the general description of my Mk3 is usually that it's low:

^You wouldn't make it out of my street in that car, let alone the driveway :lol:
 
Of course! Coming from a tuner's perspective, the first thing I'm curious about is the engine. Especially in such swap-heavy circles as Nissan and Honda. But personally I don't like the instant connection with 240s and drifting. I've been looking into an early S14, to just boost the hell out of an SR20 or RB25 swap and kick everyone's ass in town.

That GTS really is gorgeous. I think I'd rather have a RWD Skyline if I couldn't have a true GT-R.

2012 Focus Titanium Hatchback

I have had a few haters tell me it looks like a crappy Korean car
Click to expand...

The current Focus looks like a Kia C'eed/Pro C'eed from any angle that includes the front end. I have tremendous difficulty telling them apart until I get close enough to see whether the oval badge at the front is blue or not - I didn't even realise they'd been released for six months after they had been when I spotted a Ford badge on the front of what I thought was a Kia.

That's nothing to do with hatred - except apparently a hatred of perfectly acceptable Korean cars - just aesthetics. I don't think the Focus looks like a C'eed because I hate either. I think they look alike because they do.


As for what people have said about my cars... largely I have no idea because I don't pay any attention whatsoever. I did get 10% off my fuel at a Shell garage in Cologne because the lad on the pumps had never seen an Accord Type-R before (much less a RHD one), and having to hold a conversation in (really bad) German about it stuck in my mind a bit.

Most new hatchbacks look similar, it's the best current design for space and aerodynamics. I can easily tell them all apart too, they still have their own unique design cues that set them off. This is only on the internet though.

And I'm still trying to figure out how anyone in America could say it looks like a crappy Korean car. As far as I can tell we don't get anything even remotely similar looking. Overseas probably is a different
 
To my '95 Z28...
"That's the nicest sounding Camaro I've heard!"
"How do you spend on gas?"
"What have you got done to it?!"
"Sounds epic!"
"You must pay a ton on insurance.."

The ST204 Celica isn't very common around here, so I get a lot of...

"What is that?"

"Where did you get it? How much did you pay for it?"

"How much do you want for it?"



One of my most memorable moments was going through the drive through at McDonalds and having the clerk as me, "Is that a Ferrari?" and then offering to buy it from me on the spot. Apparently my generous offer was far too much, even for him, the lowly clerk at McDonalds.
 
'92 Lexus SC300: (5/2005 - 12/2005)

"Man this thing is fast!"
"What was Toyota thinking?! How can all of these electrical doodads be broken!"

2003 Saab 9-3 (2/2006-8/2007)

"There is no way it's 149 degrees outside." (It was snowing)
"How can we be out of gas!? You have 3/4 of a tank!"
"I bet that thing rocks in the snow" (It was almost as bad as the Lexus)

1960 Chevy Biscayne (owned 12/17/2005-10/22/10, drove Jan-March 2007)

"That is awesome!" - One of my teachers.

"That car is so cute!" - Gal at a gas station
"Dude we can fit 20 people in here!" - friend at NDSU
"You ******* ******* ******* ***********! You're a ******* **** ***** queer! You didn't ******* win ****!" - Kid in a 1983 Ford Mustang who tried racing me from 40 miles per hour. I destroyed him.

2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium (10/10/2009-9/11/2010)

"How could you let the decepticons win!?" - guy at the body shop to where it was towed
"How did you get here in all of this snow?" - My sister

"Why do you need 2 sets of rims?" To keep one salt free in the winter (and winter tires)
"How many miles does it have?"
"How much do you want for it?" is about all I can remember.
