GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
Re: GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
Bah! Thats what i get for mentioning a random car
I shouldn't have said Corvette, should have said Tiburon or something....my point was skewed a little with the Covette reference, just replace "Corvette" with "Tiburon" and see if thats any better.
My point (and other peoples too) was that not everyone is an enthusiast, and like many poeple have mentioned before some people just buy the car for various reasons, not because of it's cult status (as seen on this forum and FA).
I can't emphasize enough how you shouldn't belittle people for not responding to you.
There are TONS of reasons why someone might give you the cold shoulder. Don't start talking trash about them because you might be that person that ignores another G driver one day, and end up the butt-end of a forum post.

I'm going to use more of these so people don't get upset.[img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
Besides Tiburon is a bad example, those are [censored] cars. At least the Corvette has some power and style.
KEEP IN MIND, I posted this because the guy caught up to me. Then he looked over. I smiled & gave him a thumb up. Then be frowned and acc. off at 75mph plus. Then got in front as he drove off.....
People should be nice no matter what.........
Oh by the way.. I wouldn't wave to you b/c you have ugly wheels![img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Are you serious? After reading some of your previous posts...I'd surely call you a hypocrite, but then that wouldn't be nice, would it? [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img][img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img][img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I'm a little north of you....in middlesex county...but originaly from bergen county area....
I've owned many Corvettes....and they all will show some sort of interest in another Corvette owner...usually just a wave of the hand or a nod...
WRAH....
you always manage to get yourself in the "mix"
you started a thread which IMO was a valid gripe about the "G" experience. and now your counterparts are firing back at you as well....
I truly believe this car does not have the avid following of say the Corvette owners...
we all may be completely **** about it but I'll say it again...most of the people I see just are going about their daily business....our passion for the car is exactly that..."OUR" passion....but that won't stop me from acknowledging any one I see in a G...coupe or sedan...I just have to look..... and believe me, at my age I could get in big trouble if it happens to be a young girl......
As far as all the rest of the Infiniti owners out there....Lighten Up!!!! If you can fire off the middle finger when some one cuts you off or you can chat on you cell phone with a cigarette then you could just as easily give us all a nod or simple wave...right? do what ya like I'm still friggin wavin at ya!!!!![img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
I honestly don't think respond to someone who's driving the same care as you is an "enthusiast" thing, but more of a MANLY thing. A stereotypical male is into cars, but that's the key word.
It could also be the jealous neighbor type crap. "Oh no, not another person w/a G, damnit! I must prove I'm bigger and better than them." I am not like this, however I was a little preturbed when I saw how many G coupes actually lived near me. I didn't think there would be an abundant amount.
Who knows. I normally just raise my hand up, and as I've said in another post, I have tons of G coupes in my area, and only 1 black G ever responded back. The rest just either ignore me, or give me a dumbfounded look. Most of them are young drivers my age (24). I even got stopped by a cop today for doing 30 in a 25...."is this your car?"...."yes it is."....."we were monitoring you by radar down the hill, just slow it down."
what a barrel of BS. Piggy likes the G!!!
I don't think anything bad of the people who do not respond. It would be cool to get a response, but oh well.
With so many Gs in northern NJ, someone should start a club or something.

Re: GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
I said be nice to people while driving, not on this forum.[img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
Besides from what you've read before about me, huh? I was set up several times, plus I don't put up with bullshit. I've never "not been nice" to start, that can quickly change when it comes to BS.
BTW!!! saying that you not going to call me something and saying that something, is the same as calling me something.
I was joking when I said you had ugly wheels. So I'm going to be "nice" and not say you have the worst <font color=blue>color</font color=blue> G infiniti makes![img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
Oh yes, you're always the victim, how wrong of me to not know that.
I hope you're ONCE AGAIN joking about the "color" insult, because I bet I can find enough CB owners on this forum to respond to your insult.
Oh and I find it funny how almost every one of your responses has an "Edited by WRAH" subnote. I guess you sort of learned your lesson, maybe there won't be a response at all next time.
But I don't want to start another "flame war", so I'm going to stop provoking you. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img][img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img][img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] Can't forget the smiley faces!

Re: GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
No I never learned my lesson. I just have so much to add, thats why I edit. If I really cared about editing I would not show that edited something....
BTW.... I don't really think CB is an ugly color. I was just using it was an example.
No harm... I was just shooting the [censored], ment nothing by what was said....

Guys, I may be wrong but there's about 13,000 G's on the road, and less than 600 members in this forum (please accept my apology if I'm wrong), maybe the other 12,400 owners are not like us. To them it's just a car. Sad, but true. peace.

I don't know about the # of G's out there now, but we've got about 10,000 members on this board. A tad more than 600 [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]
As for smiles/waves- I just try to be a courteous, decent human being. If someone smiles/waves and I see it and am not feeling like absolute hell, I'll acknowledge it. I don't why I wouldn't, even if I were pi$$ed off... it'd make me feel better.
It takes a second out of what I'm doing, and makes someone else smile. Not acknowledging, however, gives me back that second... but makes the other person feel like a schmuck. Holding up my nose and pretending I don't see them makes ME feel like a schmuck. And finally, to those who DO stick your noses up: It's a freaking G, get over yourselves. It's an entry-level luxury/sports car, not a Vanquish. Drop the attitude.

Re: GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
Huh? Where did you come from, under a rock? What did I say that was so "racist"?
Am I missing something? I'm sorry if you take "rice" as a racist term.
A "riced out" vehicle can be described like this:
To define ones small Japanese car (usually Honda). Characteristics include a coffee can sized exhaust pipe, a rear spoiler the size of a 747's wing, neon lights in various places including the forementioned "coffee can" and racing stickers. - UrbanDictionary.com
I'd also like to add upainted body-kits to that definition, as they are extremely tacky and show that you barely scrounged up enough money to buy the kit, but not enough to get it painted.
But getting back to my point:
Rice was in NO WAY used a racist term by me, I'm sorry if you perceived it that way. I have never known rice to be a racist term, and have never used it in that manner.

Re: GOT A COLD LOOK FROM A G-COUPE
I personally don't think a thumbs up or a nod or wave would hurt anyone...maybe if we were a little more curtious on the road, then maybe there would be no more road rage...again, just my opinion...
