But you DO hear other people talking about (me) it....like da ladies! (ok...I jest there...lol) My point is....when others assign this to you....your way better off (in many ways likely ). And the same applies in car shit talk. Dont assign any superiority to your ride whatsoever....let somebody else do that for you.

And take some advise from an old man....YOUR CAR IS ALWAYS SLOW! Keep repeating that to yourself till it becomes a pat response. (I will explain further)

The whole jist is to get under your skin...as already mentioned by somebody on here. Tell em its slow as balls and there isnt much more to say, is there? Oddly enough....then they will likely take the opposite tact and begin to try to tell you that your car is worthy. You dont assign worthiness to yourself or your car.....others do. When you do....they tend to want to debate that fact with you. Just tell em its slow as all get out....yep! Then when the time comes...lay the smack down.

No kidding...if you ever ask me if my car is fast....I would tell you nope....its slower than all get out! Wanna race? Do you see the preceived hint of confidence there? Thats about 90% of the brain game racers will try to hit you with....dont admit JACK. Car's slow...yep! You are young....but its all about what makes YOU happy...not some other kid that is just smack talking with a Tacoma trying to rain on your parade. The faster you take that tact....the faster you are likely to gain the respect you seek! Dont uptalk your ride....let others do that for you. It means 500% more than you assigning that to yourself and trying to sell them on that fact.
Truth. You speak it.

D, take this guy's advice. The next time someone at your school thinks their shit is faster than you, tell 'em, "Ok", and to go race someone from Dallas Racing or Dallas Imports since they'll ooobviously be a better match.

I like that way . When we think we slow, if we did race and lose that nothing but if we win we will feel something . I love to hear experience about the way to think.

Ight thanks for the input Michael, I'll keep it in mind. I'm not posting this because I think my car is fast. This was more or less a rant. I did ignore all the times he set me up to race someone...I simply was curious how my car would run against the other ones brought up, simply because I had never thought about it, and honestly didn't know. Yea, the TL isn't fast, and yea, I've surprised a lot of people telling them my car is slower than theirs and telling them it is a FWD (that is always a big shocker). As you said...this car gets the girls like no other. I will keep what you said in mind from now on.

Fact is the only car that will give you trouble is the 328. But ^^ what that guy said is beyond truth, everyone asks me about my cars and my anwser is they are slow, no matter what car I'll own, I'll always say it's slow lol.

Yes sir! I agree wholeheartedly. When I was big on racing and did it for money my sig read 12.9@110mph on other websites. Now it doesn't matter. I don't think I once told the truth including when I beat some 11 second cars and told them mine barely cracked the 12s. I loved the mind game part of it. I've lost a few times on purpose just to get the people I really wanted to run to race me for the amount of money I wanted. Those were the days. Setting up races with a huge crowd watching and mentally beating the other guy with a smirk on my face while he yelled and screamed. I had most of them beat mentally before the race began. If it was something quick that had a chance at beating me only then would I get cocky but it was part of the game. I would tell them they better take me out of the hole because they will never mph me. 9 times out of 10 it resulted in them smoking the tires and the race was over in the first couple seconds.


I think it's best to be this way from girls to sports to everything. My friends in the old days used to say my "game" was that I had no game lol.

d-town: some people have the mindset that if its not a BMW, then its shit. Why? Who knows. I've had my car be called a "foreign piece of shit" or a "ricer". At my school half the people drive trucks...and only know about trucks. Ever see a 1990s Ford F150 try to beat a TL at a stoplight? Good times.

I don't know about that. My family scattered throughout the southern "redneck" states own mostly Mercedes and high end cars. Myself and my immediate family are the only ones in CA and we probably have the cheapest and highest percent of Domestics in the family. Television is not always realistic.

In some respects, its similar. All depends on where you live. The demographics of Indianapolis are interesting. The north side of Indy is known as the more affluent area of the city. Namely a town called Carmel, with a median income of $110,549. Pretty nice place. The east side is...eh sketchy. West side for the most part, are mostly middle-income suburbs. Often times, people consider this area to be "farm land" as well. I live in Brownsburg, a suburb on the west side that has about 25,000 people. Some kids that go to my school live out the country of Brownsburg, an area barely considered part of the town. Its not surprising to see someone flying a confederate flag in the parking lot on the back of their truck. Why? No clue. Heavy prejudice. The "hicks" are in the minority thankfully. They're obnoxious as hell and legitimately wear cowboy boots and hats to school. Two each their own. By no means do I dislike where I live- ranked the 32nd best place to live in the country by CNN.

OP my apologies for the thread jack. Shit I'm good at doing that..

That's predjudice on your own part. They're automatically hicks because they wear boots and cowboy hats? Not even close. Regardless, the morals and values of the "hicks" are usualy far superior to many others.

Rebel flag is not racist in itself. But it's become known that way because many social rejects that fly it think it's racist.

I mean really, what's worse, the Rebel flag flown in the Southern states or the Mexican flag everywhere you go in CA. I've seen them fly the Mexican flag above the American flag on the same pole.
