Default A little rant

Well my first post, thought I'd start off with a little rant

I'm 26 and drive an 04 Blobeye STI, mildly tuned with a very loud Kakimoto exhaust!

Anyway, most of my mates drive BMWs, Golfs etc
and I get a lot of, "when you gona grow up and get a proper car instead of a boyracer's car" from them. Get this alot from older family members too.
I don't care if I'm 40, I'll still be driving a Subaru at the least if not an Evo. I'm a lover of Jap rides, so why should I conform to society's obession of BMWs??!
Comments like those really get on my ****.

Surely you have other things to worry about. I didn't buy my first Scoob until I was well into my 40s and I still have one at more than twice your age.

Just enjoy your car

my thoughts on this is that bmws are as common as muck, there heavy, slow, boring and always break and i love nothing more then destroying them on the roads with a cheeky grin on my face as i go past them and they no it lol

Being 20 im still quite young so i never get abuse like that, but whenever somebody tries to get mouthy in that way, i just say "my car can be chavy looking, hold the boy racer image or even be ugly, but that doesnt really matter because when we get to the twisties® ill be too far infront for you too see"
