That guy with the pristine Miata called my rally hatch a parts bin reject
At the Sunday meet in Austin last month, some dude in a $30k garage queen ND walked over, pointed at my lifted Impreza, and said it looked like a dumpster exploded. I laughed, told him my car actually sees dirt, and offered to race him up the gravel fire road behind the lot. He just walked off, but now I want to know, how do you handle the polished show crowd when your ride is built for function over looks?
My buddy Dave has a beat to hell Cherokee on 33s and at a Cars and Coffee in Dallas some guy in a ceramic coated Corvette told him it looked like it crawled out of a junkyard. Dave just asked him how many miles he'd put on it that year, and the guy went quiet because the answer was like 400. Shiny cars sit in garages, built cars go places, so let them talk while you're out actually driving.
