Absolutely nobody has said that as of yet? Well, you have now...

It's amusing that this is the automatic response whenever people point out a dislike for tasteless mods.

Stormster · 17 Jul 2014 at 11:13

Those types are quick to judge, but their cars are so dull nobody really comments

Mrdeath69 · 17 Jul 2014 at 11:16

Tasteless to you, maybe. He isn't bashing your standard motor, I'm not sure there's a need for you to do it to him, either.

mrk · 17 Jul 2014 at 12:02

Perhaps I should have clarified and said "seen as tasteless" - Considering the responses to it so far because that's exactly what the issue is.

Edit*
And let's make no mistake. This is a discussion thread and good and bad will be discussed. Many of us have had our choices mocked at some point, great we deal with it and move on and have a laugh. Even Death himself is having a laugh about it. Those of you getting offended on his behalf though are being rather stupid.

You are the first to mention either of those...

But you are right, the dislike is not because of the bizarre bright yellow tow strap fitted to make it look like a pretend race car, not for the random and odd collection of strange stickers but... because it isn't an BMW or an Audi. Obviously.

I'm not defending the owner, nor getting offended on his behalf. I'm simply puzzled with one concerning themselves over what somebody wishes to do to their motor, when it doesn't align itself with their own desires and or actions.

Edit - I do appreciate this is a discussion forum and don't wish to derail but calling someone out on being someone who "looks like they should be sitting in their motors in a carpark" seems a tad unnecessary, whatever the intended sentiment. I recall mrk saying that a typical 7 series driver should be in his retirement and a young twenties something (Vox, if I remember correctly) has no business to be seen in such a car. It's a similar response.

I think you're jealous of his car due to how boring your new ride is.

^ Pretty much that and also whilst death might be having a 'giggle' at himself, some of those comments would have been a bit hurtful.

Well on the plus side at least it's more interesting and characterful than a beige and gloomy auto barge.

I bet I would have had more fun in that than Fox does in the diesel he hates with the black interior he hates...

I sold it though because it was boring.

And, it was silver.
