Summary: Saw another mkiii, just wanted to hang out and tell him he had a nice car.
He wanted to race. I didn't.
He loses interest when he finds out im not boosting.
I tell him it was nice meeting him, and he tells me W/e.

------------------------------------
Long story

Im in High Point(area in which all imports cruise on fridays, and sat. nites.) Im Just cruising around admiring all these nice cars. SuddenlY, " Oh sh*t, you see that supra!!!," i said to my cousin. I hit a U-turn, so i can't hang out and talk about our mkiii's. Turns out, when i get in the parking lot, this guy is pulling out and tells me to tail him. I just thought he wanted to find a different location so we could chill or somthin. But in actuality, he wanted to race me.

Me, i just got a ticket a couple weeks before, so i really did not want to race. We pull up at a light side by side. He revs, and his buddy tells me to go at the light. Well, i told him im not into that kinda stuff. His response," we're just f*cking around, don't worry man nothin will happen, just accel real fast when the light turns green." Of course i see a cop, and i don't go at the light. Well, he took off. We all pull in a parking lot, and he is talking to his buddy in a jeep, telling him how i was scared to race him. He asks me what i have done to the car, and i told him im all stock. He says i should turn up the boost, and i explain to him that i was all N/a. He said, oh aight, and left. I leave the parking lot, and say, "Thanks man, and it was nice meeting you!" his response, " yeah w/e man."

---------------------------------------
Why i posted this!

At first, i respected him because he was an MKIII owner.
I lost respect for him cause he didn't want to talk to me cause i was an GE instead of GTE. Plus the fact that, he didn't want to just talk about MKIII's, all he wanted to do was race.
No kudos for this guy.

Sorry, I had to let it all out it just made me sooooo MAD!!!:mad: :rant:

Hm, this really wouldn't bother me that much. There are a-holes in every group of car owners.

iwannadie, i didn't expect him to be all buddy buddy with me, just at least courteous enough to just hang out or somethin. Me, i respect all supra owners, so i had respect for him, didn't think he'd act the way he did you know.

Haha, this happened to me actually. I was in edgewater NJ and i saw a white MKIII i said cool to my buddies as i have a white one. I usually don't approach MKIII owners unless they walk to my car and i walk to chat but i wanted to see what he had. It was the same year, color, and interior color as my car. Only thing is he was 5sp and my DD is an auto. I go to him and say nice car sounds good is it twin turbo?? He gave me this dumb ass look like i was a kid trying to compare it to the MKIV. He says uh no single turbo then laughs. He asks me what do i drive i said that other white MKIII you see over there. He says is it turbo? I said yea, he asks if i wanted to race, i told him no he asked why, i told him my car was auto he laughed at me. I said whats so funny? He said he would kick my ass all day... i told him mod for mod i'd kill him because brake boost owns him. He said he wanted to do it from a roll, i told him sure just come around here every once in a while i'll come up with my 1J 5sp so its an even 5sp to 5sp race and he gave me this kid look and wanted to talk about my 1J and what i had done to it i told him uh no... time for me to go and left... i'm only a dick to those who deserv it.

i saw a car i recognised from a local meet reecently. turns out the guy i knew had sold it on to this 18 yr old kid who strugled to string a sentence together. I thought ahh well ill have a chat with him as his was na mine is also na and there bothe white with leather interiors. think what i said basically went in 1 ear and out the other and then he shot out the parking lot like a bat out of hell (i was in my works ford transit at the time lol so i couldnt keep up) I guess that car is now wrecked as i seriously doubt he would have been able to control it after coming from a citroen saxo lol

I have yet to come across a douchebag MKIII owner. I have only come across one asshat of an MKIV owner. I saw his car and asked him about it and said I have one too. I pointed and he laughed and drove off. Sad part was that he had an N/A auto. :3d_frown:

most mk3 owners I have met or run into on the street have been cool. But the young ones that have a few nice parts that think they are hot shit just make me laugh. I just met a guy that called on my CL ad and had to talk to me cause he liked my car. He appologized saying he wasnt really interested in BUYING the car but would love to talk about em cause hes building one. Turns out the guy owns 2 mk3's and his buddy is putting together a 2J monster for his mk3. Guy was cool as shit, hooked me up with some work and a few connections and looks like we may actually be doing a little business together.

Ya just never know.
