So, yesterday I'm sitting in my office, browsing various search sites. I'm looking at the normal GRM spectrum of cars (Miata, RX7, Supra, Old Mercs, BMW, 944, etc) when two of my co-workers notice what I'm doing.
"That car is old, why would you want it?"
"It only has 180hp, that's slow"
"Why don't you get something good"
Which highlights why I hate talking about cars to most people, almost especially other "car" people. One of these guys is silly for the Honda S2k, but doesn't see how the Miata gave it Honda the excuse to build the S2k.
I was drooling over a 190E-2.3 16V (right after these idiots said "get an old M3!") when the slow comment was made. I tried to explain to them the e30 M3 was in the same ballpark of power. I tried uselessly to explain things like handling characteristics, enjoyment to drive. But it was washed out by idiotic chatter.
And I raaaaaaaaaage'd.
) and the "fart cannon" mounted descretley out back, they would joke "whats that for, you gonna go race this thing huh huh?" all Bevis style. They looked really perplexed when my answer would be "yes". Some people just dont understand
People really don't understand cars.
