Insulting my car

I am typically not someone who is easily upset.  People can say whatever they want about me and I won't care.  But it crosses the line when someone goes after one of my cars...particuarly my Cutlass.  Even a slight insult really sends me off.  

When my car is called a white trailer trash car...it really pisses me off.  Even more so when its someone who owns a Toyota Tundra and thinks its the greatest thing since sliced bread.  

I just needed somewhere to vent where people actually understand this sort of thing.

A Cutlass is a trailer trash car? Since when was there ever an IROC-Z Cutlass?

I get a lot of flak for having Buick's, but "Trailer Trash" is a below the belt comment.

 I'd tell them that "My Olds gets more girls, hauls more ass, gets better mileage and if I cared to put a hitch on it would out tow his POS Tundra eight days of the week" Then if I felt the need insult him more personally

At least along this line is what I tell people around here about my Buick's.

Oh yeah, I also hate it when people call my Skylark a Nova, sure it's an X-body, but dammit it's a Buick.  Had a number of people call my '69 Firebird a Camaro too.  I don't know about you but it gets under my skin when people automatically assume my cars are Chevys, to this I usually reply "It's Faster".

This tundra owner needs to realize that his truck is only as good as its operator and not as good as the commercials say it is(commercials are made on a third grade level to keep your attention)I have towed 7000lb vans and trucks with my little old granny car maverick.The draw bar pull commercial is all about leverage not grunt,I dont care how they present it.REmember the old dodge truck commercials where they pull a train car at idle??? Havent seen toyodor try that one.Besides trailer trash cars are usually five different colors and have three different tire sizes on them at the same time.Oh and only two of those have enough air in them.I think Cisrocs olds sits right and looks bitchin.

Next time ask him where he puts the rice in that grinder - I got no patience with people who drive rice of anykind and talk crap.  If Oldmobiles are trailer trash cars then I am a trailer trash guy on a $160,000 a year salary.  Bet Mr. Tundra flips burgers and spends his whole pay check on that heap of junk.    I would have taken a poke at him.  Sorry Cis - you got more holding power than me.  Former linemen are used to kicking butt and asking questions later.  Then again, the dink probably ain't worth the time.  

Lets put it this way.  I'm pizzed and I wasn't even there.  That Toyoo Tuncrud is nothing more than a glorified disco wagon anyways.  Your car IS bitchen.  No two ways about it.

This is how I respond to dicks like that.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Am I supposed to give a rats a** what you think about me or my car? Who the *** are you?"

Your best move is to steal his girlfriend in something that has bench seats.

Good to hear from you Bowser...haven't seen you on here in a while (or maybe it just seems that way because of the whole gradschool thing)!

Hello Well this I find quite insulting myself these cars made what muscle is in north america. I do too own a 72 olds cutlass and I hate when I see these punks with there suped up Hondas and Toyotas wanting to race me but I laugh at them and just keep on rolling down the street . Both my brothers drive inmports a Volvo and a Hyundai  and they too both make fun of me for my Oldsmobile saying its a pile of crap but I don t care atleast my car is not disposable unlike there two heaps of crap they both had there cars in the shop more times than I ve had hot meals . Here s one to make you laugh this Guy with a vw plowed into the back of my olds doin about 35 to 40 mphs well the old girl got a bit hurt but dude with the vw wrote it off and I was glad that I got to drive away from this wreck 2 weeks later I got her fixed and still have this car . My grandpa gave it to me on my 16th b day and I ll never get rid of it I love this car than my woman.
