Two Thumbs Down!!

So I'm driving back home after grabbing some TBell and I buzz a 2001 S4 and 08 Civic SI. They both give me a thumbs down. Seriously are there that many haters out there. I can understand it from the Civic since they are slow.

there was no mention of him doing any thumbs upping. I have no idea op was vague. Does buzzed by them, mean he just cruised by them. or was he revving it, or did they want to race...idk

Buzzed to me means fly by, just like when a plane buzzs something.... In that case I would thumbs down and laugh too!

a thumbs down after buzzing some one is usually intended towards the driver not the car.......

Today someone at school felt the need to write up a note and leave it on my car saying "You drive a Cobalt. Get over yourself."

Not like there's tons of cars nicer than a Cobalt SS at school. There's always gonna be douchebags.

today i was coming home from wal mart... i pulled onto the main road, a truck passed me with a little kid hanging out the window...they slowed down and waited on me, i passed them like normal and the kid said something and i slowed down..he said " wanna race?" i just shook my head. he said " thats ok,, that thing looks slow anyway" i said alright.... tell your brother to honk.

on the thrid honk i dropped down and floored it. walked away from him and slowed back down then he said "dang...nvm!"

kids with punk ass attitudes......
















got to admire that

^^ I had the same experience w/ an rsx...

My friend @ work just keep talking and about how slow 2.2l 4 cylinders are and how he would walk me all day, cause he's import and imports are supreme when it comes to blocks. So we decided to test that theory.

2 car lengths ahead of him from a roll and 1 car length from a digg....he just looks at me now at work, doesn't say anything...

Some people just don't know that the hell their talking about

i had a mustang purposly drive beside me for about 30 minutes on the way to work one night and when i hit the offramp he pretended to shoot me with his hand. He was just upset because every once in a while i'd give it a little shot to put him behind me and he had to catch up to continue harrassing me haha stupid v6 rustang drivers.

I hear people all the time say ya it's nice but it's still just a chev cobalt .. and i say yes you are right it is a chev cobalt. then i take them for a drive and watch them scramble to find the non existant holy **** handles :P then their opinion changes a bit.

i cant stand people that under-estimate our cars...then again most people just go along with the most popular vote on whats gay or not instead of seeing first hand the full potential of the car.
