Jealous idiots rant

How do you deal with jealous idiots? I'm not at all a bragging or flashy person (actually im
quiet and reserved) but I have an amazing car which I've worked and saved hard to get. I got the car purely for my own enjoyment and because it makes me happy. I love the sound of the engine, the beautiful looks and fun drive. If I share my happiness for one moment does that give people the right to ruin it for me by teasing and being rude unnecessarily because its fun for them? I know 100% that if they had it instead then they would be making a huge deal out of it and everyone else would be supporting them.

I don't know how people would react to the more flashy show-off people if they do this to me. Recently with other things combined I'm starting to believe nice people do always finish last. :(
 
Take everything anybody says with a pinch of salt. Idiots on the road
.. Just laugh to yourself at them :|

Just isn't worth the stress.

What exactly is it that people are doing/ saying to upset you so much?! Is it people you know or don't know?

I've had plenty of banter, but ultimately I bought the car for me, what other people think is irrelevant B-)
 
I just laugh at them.... best thing to do....

I've only had my Zed since Saturday, and already had daft remarks about it, and driving with the roof down...

if it makes people feel better about their pathetic little lives, them I'm glad I'm providing a good service...

words only have whatever meaning you give to them...So make it something to smile about...

plus, I can cut most people to the bone... so they quickly shut up and trundle off....

:evil: :evil: :evil:

:thumbsup:
 
It's people I know, not very well but we are thrown together alot because of work etc.

I generally ignore people or let it go but i'm human and can get hurt. They're just trying to wind me up and make me look silly in public. I just made some comment how it's nice to drive topless.

the cueball, teach me to make them trundle off.
 
are you getting the hairdresser's car jibes ? a lot of tossers mimic clarkson because they are'nt witty or bright enough to come up with something original of their own, most jibes stem from envy or low self esteem. you bought your car with your cash and for your own reasons, end of ! ... f**k what anyone else thinks or says. most of us go through weeks of indescision and self analysis whilst deciding whether to go for a luxury car that we dont need but want with a passion, justifying the time , the money ,the future costs and the thoughts of what others may thinkof us, ... its perfectly natural, some dont for various reasons follow the dream to fruition. for all the reservations and doubts we go through, once we have bitten the bullet and completed the deal all those fears subside and we get into the trials and tribulations, the anxt and worries of learning whats serios and whats not about our cars, the theraputic benefits of cleaning, polishing and waxing, the absolute thrill of driving them and the joy of owning or caretaking one until we dont want or need it anymore and decide to pass it on to another person who at that time needs it more than us, we may be satisfied for a little or long while or it may just be a stepping stone to our next vehicular waterloo. dont ever beat yourself up , enjoy the car with a passion and most of all remember whatever anyone else thinks is irrelavent. :D :thumbsup: ps........ what on earth made you buy a roadster ? :poke: ...... :rofl: see, just testing to see if that last comment made your blood pressure go up !!!!! :D
 
wow that's beautiful and just what I needed to hear. *hugs*

I had the hairdresser initially but it's not really applicable to me as a girl I think..anyway I let it slide. I'd much rather have a hairdressers car if it's a Z4 than a rusty tin. Besides I don't think the Z is very feminine, unlike the MX - 5, TT or boxter.
 
Let the car do the talking, people will always be jealous I find it more an age thing with me and middle age men not being particularly happy or younger lads with their washing machine engines trying to add a new paint job to the rear bumper.

One blip of the throttle is enough to shut 90% of them up. :thumbsup:
 
You can try being witty, dry or sarcastic to deal with certain people.
For example, if somebody asked me 'Why have you bought a Hairdressers car?'
I'd say something like, "Well, I can guarantee my Hair will stay on with the roof down, how about you?"
Or "I wanted something a cut above the rest". If that doesn't get them to leave you alone then I'm afraid it's reverting back to good 'ol anglo-saxon expletives like,
'How about you F@#k off back to your pond?'
 
Laugh it up, tones of gypos in my area all envious of the ZED, regardless of if it's a roadster or a coupe these are great looking cars. (One guy at work disagrees but he drives a Polo.... I'm not going to take him seriously).

I was in Loughborough (boring place) the other day and made the mistake of asking some pissed up bloke for directions to the uni, he immediately made a "hairdresser car" comment, I enjoy the banter
so was sure to tell him how i'd be paying his partner a visit for a cheeky "trim".
 
I get it all the time from friends in jest... Hair dressers car, pink seats etc. the best thing to do is say it first before they can, takes away their ammunition and you can go back to enjoying driving it :driving:

"Jealous of my individuality,style and unsheep like desire to follow the masses are we?"

Usually shuts up the idiots..
 
An insult only works if you show it gets to you. It soon gets boring for the perpetrator if they aren't getting the desired response. Develop a thicker skin and you'll be fine.
 
I got the hairdressers car jibe.... I get most of the jibes from my brother, who drives a 52 1.4 astra!...

Then they see the 3.0i badge then ask "take me out in it" I say "why do you want to been seen in a hairdressers car?"...... F@%K OFF!
Jealous idiots that don't deserve your time, you have a awesome car... just enjoy your zed like i do :driving: (Sorry, but people can we so horrible)

Go to France, A couple of years back a few of my friends all with Z3 and Z4's were going through central France. When we went in column through large tows with restaurants and caffe's lining the load the number of people that would applaud the cars and give approving gestures was amazing. They never took the piss, just admired these beautiful machines.

Take no notice of the tossers
 
I quite like the idiotic comments. They show that these people have some sort of inferiority complex.

Just remember that and laugh it off.
