Skyline Prejudice

[Betz]

I've only had my GT-R for about 4 months now but I have had a few strange happenings already.

when I picked up my car from the seller it had no plates so I was driving it to and from legitimate destinations for the purpose of complience, rwc and rego etc. No plates on the car and on atleast 3 occations I had people in shitbox cars trying to rev me up to race them, one driver even went to the extent of stopping then driving full pelt and slamming the brakes on behind me... wtf?

my car has an exaust and BOV, they are both reasonably mild and the car is relitivly stock, it does however make a bit of noise under acceleration and I try to keep it to a minimum especially in residential streets, I do however get heaps of dirty looks from elderly people and people gesturing for me to slow dow (I am careful to obey speed limits especially in residential streets)

I havnt had to many run ins with the cops, once I was random breath tested and warned not to speed (again residential street and I wasnt speeding)

on a few other occations I have been blatently targeted by the police to see if there is somthing they can stich me up over, ie; cop car comes up behind me, overtakes, slows down, over takes me on the other side, then sits next to me before turning off.

its all quite annoying....

that said, I have seen a few skyline drivers being idiots, generally riced up r33 gtst's with P plates.

all this and I'm 32, cant people just give a guy like me a break? kinda wish I'd bought the 911 like I'd planned.

once u get into a skyline, expect all this crap to happen to you. But dont let that get to you, just enjoy the car

Yeah, unfortunately it's a hazard of the profession. I get ridiculed by old people and such through streets even when I’m at the speed limit. It's just that it sounds like I'm going faster. I'm sick of it, I'm sick of the wankers out there, as said with P plate, riced up Skylines giving the rest of us bad names!

I'm not a hoon, but everyone who pulls up next to me in another import of VL Turbo ule! seems to want to have a drag, I'm not going to waste my petrol on such peasants!

If you can't take the heat,get out of the kitchen. Or buy a porche or ferrari,then you will be envied .

Yeah it sucks , cheap cars ,cheap frills ,cheap performance makes every one but a lover of high performance

Jap Cars angry.

As stated enjoy your ride and have fun.

There are some upsides, I was sitting outside a club last night trying to find a friend and a couple of hotties were pretty unhappy when I wasn't actually interested in them only finding my friend

I don't think you can really blame the general public for their hatred towards our cars, I remember 4 or 5 years ago crusing around in my mates FD, straight exhaust, to4z worked of it's tits, the car was and still is the loudest baddest dirtiest car i know of....and it was like being in a Ferrari people envied you. But since the government has pushed all the anti-hooning stuff so much any commodores on mags, imports and basically any other modified car have become "hoon" cars and hence the public hate them......Just one of those things, forget about it and remember for the simple reason they ridicule you without better knowledge your a better person than them

i cop this ALOT from other skyline drivers with their riced up and stocker gtst's.. Just because mine looks like a stocker its self, doesnt mean they haveto prove a point to say "i beat lthlrb"... Peasents dont know whats going on when i scream past them frying 2nd . That shuts them up good and propper. Also cop alot of death stares from other ladies driving next to me.. OK im 17 OK im on my ls OK my mums in the car with me.. BUT IM NOT A SPOILT BRAT WITH EVERYTHING I WANT.... Its called.. Earning it.

aint that the truth...

[LTHLRB]

arnt all 18 year olds invincible?

[dezz]

i dont see what all the fuss is about...i drive my r33 with p-plates clearly displayed, and ive never gotten what id call negative attention.

i get the usual VL guys making sure they flutter when they pass me, to show me how much cooler than me they are....and the odd shitbox VN that wants me to race his performance car.....

Just the other day driving home from protek I got a bus load of school kids yelling out the window to rip it up etc.....

I dont know why everyone's getting so upset....

and well done LTHLRB...you've pretty much told everyone that you do what they've just told u they hated...only you're NOT EVEN on your p's, and you "fry 2nd" with your mum in the car....good work.

you're my hero.

was that a smartass comment?

just to the people that try to do the whole street race thing. I dont go around looking for people to drag even though drag racing is great fun. Its the fools that try to rev you up.

of course not...

so you dont look for street races...but when people try to race u, you "shut them up good and propper" by beating them...

[LTHLRB]

ok i may have sounded like a hero saying that. But come on, alot of people do piss you off when constantly they give you a "dose" next to your window for ages. Thats mainly the vl turbo drivers.

[ctjet]

you can afford a 911? mad...

Best law's they introduced were the P plate restrictions... So many assholes in 200's, wrx's, skyline's, vl's, old ss commo's etc wanting to show everyone how cool they are. They're not cool, they're noobs with nfi what damage they can do

[dezz]

hmmm...if you can afford a 911, why did you go for a 32 gtr...if it had to be a skyline for whatever reason, why not a 34GTR...

seen that happen many times before, the spur of the moment thing when everyone wants to see them go sideways, then when their around a pole like a doughnut, no one wants to know them at all.

haha at school kids these days.. 'rip it bro rip it upppp'. Funnily enough ive never had anyone try and 'go me' which i guess is a good thing!

[LTHLRB]

i was one of those school kids... back in grade 6 / year 7 haha.
