Need Help From The Y Generation

[MLCrisis]

Hi, everybody.

I know I should not expect everybody to have the same appreciation of cars as have you and I.

I know that, at times, those less blessed than you and I with intelligence, taste and decorum will do something that causes me to ask "Why?? Why did they bother???"

I know that I should take care about where I park my pride and joy, because otherwise these two connundrums (in fact that should probably be "connundra") may become joined and achieve a level of attention from me that they do not deserve.

Yes, I may even become fleetingly annoyed.

But still, this one got me!

You see, I parked my car in the Harbour Town car park on Saturday arvo for about half to three quarters of an hour. (Quite why the place is called "Harbour Town" is another mystery, given its location, which probably goes some way to explaining why it attracts a certain type of people .. ... .... .....)

When I returned, I found that somebody had kindly left a note on the windscreen, in which they sought to share with me their innermost thoughts, having been moved to words, no doubt, by the sight of my car in all its glory. I pulled the note from behind the wiper with some trepidation, as the note paper chosen was, alas, not high quality and rather crudely torn from an inexpensive ring binder notepad.

Might they have expressed awe at the glistening Bayside Blue? Might they have wished to congratulate me on the Do Luck side skirts, with the Nismo rear quarter pods that give the car that low line? Might they have wanted to comment on the Do Luck carbon wing stays that lower the rear wing and give a more subtle profile to the car? Or might they have enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek word play of the number plates? A thousand questions were spinning through my mind.

I opened the paper. It said:

"LEO Wanker"!

WTF????

Now I am sure, because of the second word, that this was meant as an insult. But an insult is only worth delivering if it is received as it is meant. What the hell did this mean? Is "LEO" an acronym for something?

But overall, why did they bother??? Why go to the trouble of getting your notepad and pen out of wherever they keep it, write this intended insult down, rip out the page and carefully place it behind my wiper?

I did check the car and could see no key marks, or bottles under the tyres or anything else. Even the tyre valve caps were still in place.

Can anyone offer any thoughts on what this was supposed to mean?

Yours in bemusement.

LED instead of LEO?

[MLCrisis]

LED instead of LEO?

I wondered about that. It is definitely an "O". The car does not have LED lights, either. (Although some LED rears are about to happen .. ... ....)

Cheers.

Well you are not mistaken it is LEO not LED, this movie below gives you an idea of what he is saying and were it comes from.

[MLCrisis]

Well there you go. It is an accolade. The greatest wanker of all time.

Now I understand the intended insult - and many thanks to DRIFTT. I was mistaken in that it was not a Generation Y thing, though. Generation Y probably never knew that Paul Hogan had a TV show.

I still don't understand why my correspondent felt A) that I deserved this accolade or B) why they had to deliver it.

I can only assume they are Falcadore fans.

Cheers.

[J_R32]

you might find it was simply a case of mistaken identity! my friend has a bay side blue r34 gtt with a bodykit i cant recall, and whoever wrote the note may have thought your "blue skyline" was his. Yes his name is Leo

Now that's funny!

Perhaps he and I should meet!!?!

[Boss-zilla]

to pass on the note? lol

If you put "LEO WANKER" into google translate, I think that you will find it translates to "I'm jealous and have nothing to show from life"
