Rather than get sick of them, you could easily just not give a shit because who cares about some random person's ridiculous comment on the internet that has literally zero effect on your life at all.
I get that a lot from coworkers with all my cars I had from the past to present. I always said stay single?. It costs more to get married and costs alot more to get a divorce.?
I have a lot of "car guy" friends who are all cult like brand loyalists in disguise. When the news of the new Z popped up last week and it was confirmed that the twin turbo engine was going to be in it, all they did was start talking crap about the Supra and started asking me what I thought about all the controversies that were being spread online. I told them I didn't give a damn, I owned a 370z in the past and it was a good car, but Nissan's build quality is no where near as nice as what I've gotten in this Supra and lets face it, the new Z is going to be a parts bin car that they've put together from all kinds of old pre-existing parts from other cars that came before it. Does it look good, sure, will it make great power, sure, but so does the Supra. Currently my Supra makes 443whp and 521wtq from just a downpipe, and I'm on 93 octane and the sky is the limit with these B58 Supras. I personally think the Supra looks better, sounds better than the Z from the sound clips I've heard, and I think it's going to be really funny when you see the majority of these new Z owners rocking an automatic gear box for the best performance, when all we've been hearing for two years now is how it's a "real sports car" because it will have a manual. For all the Z owners who buy the manual, prepare to get gapped all day long!
I have to listen to that exact same crap myself. Everyone in my family grew up poor, the most expensive car anyone in my family owns is an SRT Challenger that was bought used a few years back for like $30,000. I try to explain to all of them or anyone for that matter, that what you're willing to spend your money on is relevant to the person and their income/expenses and I am 100% fine with what I spend on this car. My car was $58,000 with tax/tag/title, then I put $15,000 down and traded my car I had at the time which got me a pay off and $2,000 positive trade value. To me, that was a damn good deal. My insurance payments also went DOWN $45 a month and I was driving a damn 2016 Genesis Coupe R-Spec Manual..... I currently pay $144 a month for full coverage on my Supra.
True, but we all care at least a little bit. It’s part of being a social species. That said? It’s good to keep it in check best we can.
I beg to differ.
I pay $82 bucks a month with full coverage in NC. That’s quite expensive to me at least.
I feel like the best way to respond "but it's a BMW" at least in person is just to ask, "And that's a bad thing because?" and see if they can finish that sentence.
