Default chav car

Just had a conversation with what is now an old friend lol as they think my car is a chav car! its impossible to explain to someone who isnt interested in cars the difference between a chav car and a performance car. My car does stand out due to its colour but to call it chav lol. anyone else had this annoying conversation before?

the stickers thing leaves me a bit cold - rally rep look-alike maybe but for me unless you are paid to advertise the companies then it just not for me

then again i am just thw wrong side of 40, maybe if 20 again then i would be there

each to thier own.

Lexarse lights just look chavesque - end of.

Personally to term a car a "Chav car" its the way it looks to me rather than the vehicle itself.

A very clean tidy looking Nova with nothing horrible glued on and perhaps a 16V with bike carbs isn't what I term "Chav"

An Impreza with a horrible (to me) looking bodykit, lexus lights and poorly chosen wheels would to me look like a Chav car.

I see what you mean by changin the car from its orginal looks but most of us change the alloys at least or upgrade to a different spoiler, i wouldnt term that as chav. The impreza you shown however i wud say is lol its on my watch list apparently its owned by a 17 yr old who "borrowed" his dads credit card to buy it...interesting!

Anything thats Group 20 insurance is usually naturally excluded from the ownership of chavs I'd have thought.

But I've had a similar conversation with someone before.

I think alot of younger people male and female have got ther hands on the older (classic) subarus and thats were all the chav name calling stems from!

Then they add stupid lights,fog light covers with sti on them and silly bits of body kits and think they are part of swrt lol

Who cares what people think of YOUR car.

i get called a chav from time to time but on the same side of the coin i get complete strangers telling me that they love my car.

I couldn't really careless what people think of my car. I LOVE IT and thats all the matters.

Stop being so shallow and just enjoy the car

people are entitled to their opinions

i share the same view as your self regarding impreza's i.e not chavvy but i don't get offended or annoyed if someone else thinks my car is chavvy. Its their opinion and they are fully entitled to it

someone taking a dislike to your car is hardly a reason to get annoyed IMO.

Ineducation is hardly a crime
