Worst GTI/ED30 Insults.......
« on: 09 March 2009, 21:09 »
I expect we're all used to the demonstration of ignorance that starts with a passenger commenting 'yeuch, it's an automatic, I thought this was a sporty car' - but what I heard today topped it all:

'Oh, it has gears like my smart car......'   :laugh:

So, what's the worst (and least intelligent) insult that your car has received?

I find the GTI is one of those cars that people love and respect.  Only negatives I hear are from skoda/seat crew who start with, "i didnt buy the golf because" and then basically beat around the fact that it was more expensive

"I don't like that you colour coordinated the bodykit"

"FFS you dumb idiot....it's standard on the ED30"

"What's an ED30?"

Wife's friends hubby, trying to act intelligent!

It's the first car I have ever owned that has never provoked an insult.
I can't think of any other car on Earth that could do that.

The GTI seems pretty immune from insults, but this thread reminds me when I used to own a Alfa 156 a bloke said to me that he didn't like the offset number plate "you would have thought they could have put it in the middle".

Actually didn't Tiff say how he hated the GTIs retro seats, that was one of the main reasons I bought the car in the first place.

Me: No... its petrol (you idiot).

Me:  (Icy Stare) Well I've been putting petrol in the tank for the past 30k miles without a problem?! (WTF is this guy on!)

No-one's knocked my GTI yet, the insults are normally like "they're paying you too much if you can afford that" or "who did you steal that from"

Jealousy is a terrible thing :)
