"She HATES it"
« on: March 16, 2010, 11:17:29 PM »
Just a funny lil story. I live in a culd-sac and have a real snobby neighbor. The parking is first come first serve and her spot in front of her house WAS always open cause she likes to park i lil further away and in the sun. I personally love the spot cause it's always shaded. I happened to be in the office when she called the manager and the speaker is loud so I was able to hear most of it. So here goes "I know that the parking lot doesn't have assigned parking so it's open to anyone, but is there anyway you can tell joey not park his car in front of my house cause it's not the prettiest and I don't wanna look at it every time I look out my windows." So guess where I park it EVERYTIME now? I don't like to be petty, I don't usually sweat the small stuff but hey if she don't like it cause it's"not the prettiest" than she can look at everyday from here on out. She better not call me when she's stuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Normally I'm a very helpfull, kind person but that just :censored: me off. "not the prettiest". That car is like a child to me, you don't call someones kid ugly do you? :angel12:

You need to make it uglier. I suggest wrapping tinfoil over everything. And maybe some electrical tape flames. Do it for the thread! Haha

i'd park there everyday too. i mean really.. if its that much of a bother to her, she should start parking her OWN car there to avoid you parking there. Maybe you should start leaving her cards with REALLY UGLY HORRID cars on them, and write something positive on the inside.. some little tidbit about always thinking the grass should be greener, seeing the glass half empty instead of half full.. i know theres some quote out there that would be pertinent. Take morning glories for instance.. sure, looks like a nice vine with flowers.. in reality in quite a few states.. it is a noxious weed.
Or cards with extremely pretty cars on them, don't forget to include a roll of scotch tape so she can tape them up over her windows that face your car ;)
Maybe print out some fake car awards.. "BEST OF SHOW" or "Diamond in the rough" and pretend to be all excited.. so excited you just had to share your 'joy' with anyone (including your neighbor, which is the whole point) and show her the 'award' while jumping up and down. Maybe she'll start doubting her judgement and leave well enough alone. being that she is 'snobby'.. i would try the 'car awards' first.

while it may not alleviate anything.. it would still be quite fun to do. (i also like the tinfoil idea!!)

Now you need a bumper sticker:
"Better an ugly car than an ugly face" or something like that (ouch that's nasty).

Or...put a picture of a very large ugly face, (gorilla or baboon or the gray guy from Roswell, maybe), in the car window that's facing the house.

I'm gonna have to find that sticker, I should probably start doing some tinkering in that spot too. Maybe I'll test the sound of the glasspack there also. The best thing is when I see her come out and walk to her car past mine and start to scoff and shake her head! Priceless I love it!

Love the thread.... LOL... I do know there is a select group of people that do not like AMC's and every time I come across one I lok at what they are driving and bag on their car about how ugly or in capable it is, it usually shuts them up, or I snipe off, I would rather be in a not so desirable vehicle and know that it will get me anywhere I want to go reliably then to own a computerized piece of junk that spends more time in the shop then out having fun.

I also live in a cul-de-sac, and also have to deal with a snob who hates my cars... although in my case, the snob is my wife.  >:(

She thinks anything over five years old is a beater, and we should all be driving hybrids.  Why did I have to make the mistake of marrying a tree hugger?  ::)

Guess I'll start parking my Eagle out front again... maybe a Concord beside it for good measure.
