I got OWNED by a chick in a KIA!
I got OWNED by a chick in a KIA!
Guess what someone said about my 98 CL (and all CLs for that matter).
A female cashier (17 yrs old) overheard me and a fellow manager (both of us are 19 yrs old) talking about suspension (he has an older 90’s model prelude that is nicely set up). She walks up to us and informs us that her dad bought her a new car. I said to her: “that’s cool, gotta love the new car smell right, what kind is it?” She told us that it was a Kia Spectra. My friend laughs and I kinda smirk (but only a little). She got upset with my friend and called his car an old piece of crap, and then turned to me and said that my car was old, UGLY, and slow.
I thought she was kidding so I just laughed it off. She then proceeded to tell me that her car was faster and better than mine. I asked her to tell me why she would think that, and she said the following: “My car is brand new and has the biggest engine in it’s class, so I know that it’s faster than your car, plus my car looks way better than your old and ugly crap car.”
Me and my friend didn't say a word to her, we were speechless....
we did make her bring in all the shopping carts off the lot by herself after we closed the store though... haha.

100lbs is a tenth of a second, and assuming the girl wasn't a chub and assuming you are about roughly 180 lbs. Let's say there's 240 lbs right there. That's .25 of a second. They say 10 HP is .1 of a second. So in theory it should be a good race

When was the last time you guys went and checked out kias? Pretty nice cars for the money 
Not our fault that the CL is slow and a 4 banger CL might have trouble fending off a Kia

So if you're all proud on your Honda and tell some kids you thought would be interested... and one laughs while the other just kinda smirks off and its all quiet...you'd be all happy and shit right?

We're just fucking around anyways...

What we're saying is, we think it woulda been a close race. Therefore, maybe he was the one being ignorant.

rules to learn
think about what you are going to say, review it in your head or write down a rough draft. Proofread, then ask your neighbor to make sure it makes sense.
THEN POST

btw, I think i'm cool, I don't see how anything in this thread would change that in my mind 
Truth hurts, that kia may give his acura a good race. He was laughing and basically saying it's a piece of slow shit, reality is, it's not.

alright can we end this? i never said her kia was a slow piece of shit and i never laughed at her. i don't even think she saw the smirk i gave my friend because she wasn't directing her attention at me, i was stocking shelves.
