I just go to IDGAFF Mode. Why bother, it’s mine, not theirs.

Exactly what everyone said about my old car, Except the classic part. It was a classic’s little ugly brother that no one liked.

8.5 Someone makes jokes about subframe cracks because you drive an SMG E46 M3.

At a car meet? The only thing I hear people tell the owners at a meet is “nice car.” People only criticize if they are behind a keyboard on facebook or youtube.
Or Car Throttle. (Sorry but it’s the truth. There are a lot of haters on here)

Carthrottle is tame compared to other social media. There is the occasional obvious troll that gets destroyed though.

I’ve only had one person criticize my car and they said I paid too much money for the wrap and that a “buddy” of theirs could have done it for half the cost. I just smiled and said “I’ll keep that in mind”. In truth, I did overpay for my wrap, but I went with the best place I could find as the quality and integrity of the shop was far more important to me than the money

Pulling into the Car meet and I hear from the entrance. “Nissan Skyline R33. GTS. NONE Turbo.” So you know what I did. Sweet sound of turbo spool and watched all his buddies shun him.

Also had a guy say “Thanks” after he took a picture of it. That was a bit weird.
