My TSX was Hated!



Last night I stopped by Blockbuster to rent some movies. On my way out, I got in my car and turned on my headlights b/c it was dark outside. Well this old man (50+ ish) :killer: was heading in the store and saw the reflection of my HID's against the glass door of Blockbuster, looked at me and gave me this hater gesture of "criss-crossing" his arms at me :wtf: . What a f*cker! Should have blinded him with my high beams. lol

I've had "old people" walk up to me saying "Must be nice having your parents buy that car for you!"


I'm in my mid 20's, bought the car USED at a good price. I mean, its 7 years old. (Its a '97 TL) and these busybodies with nothing better to do harass me about it.

I only bring this up because your story reminded me of people with nothing else to do but complain about "whippersnappers".

Probably! I'm 25 and the sales guy said I was the youngest he sold the TSX to.

Anyhow, I doubt he was hating. I would do the same too, probably just stare though, but without the arm fold.

you mean like the way Dracula does in the vampire movies when someone holds the Cross to his face and he's like grimacing ?

But what is so "hateful" in your case ?
did he make a face or something else that pissed you off ?


PS: are the teenagers' keyboards broken or something ?

It's not the size that matters, though...it's how you use it. I'm sure yours works better than his

Was he upset about the lights? He had better get used to it.
I just don't get it. I love the look of HID headlights. They really get my attention..but in a good way. They never bother my eyes.

Most older people hate to see HID in the oncoming lanes. My in-laws gripe that they are sooooo bright. I told them if they drove with them for five minutes they would buy a car with HID. Just laugh it off. You will see so mcuh more. No worries.
