Skylines and the attention

[dayne]

Hey guys,

Posting here because im sick of the comments i get about my car, specially from the general public.

Ok heres my rant!

Ive had my skyline since october, and only been drivin it the start of january, its a p plated car for your info. and ever since i got my car, i havent had shit but shit said about it! sure there are the good things, but the crap i cop at school and from the general public is just not worth it! :bs!:

For example, driving along, driving normal get flammed at by a middle aged lady calling me a hoon, driving a corolla! :flamed:

And today to top it off, a mate walks over to my car and finds that i have 3 eggs over the drivers side, on my FRESH new paint! its completly ****ed the paint, and is going to cost a decent amount to fix!

So what im basically saying is why do you guys keep your cars?? dont you find that the shit u cop isnt even worth having it anymore? I've been talked out of selling my car, but i think this time its just to much and i will most likly end up selling it in the comming weeks!

I wish it didnt have to come down to this, but what else can i do to protect it these days?? I thought where its parked at school was an alright spot, and no-one would do anything to it, but obviously not.

Sorry for the long post, i am just absolutly pissed off that i cant even have the car that i love!!! Its just too much of a hassle anymore..

Tell me your experiences with this type of shit!?

Dayne :flamed:

no offence but thats college for you... never have a good car at college their are to many tools who are envious that you have something better than they do. in regards to you getting bagged and having done nothing wrong. You should probably have figured that a skyline will draw attention to you usually the good sort but as you have even said you take the good with the bad. To top it off with all the shit the media has been saying about p platers in skylines i would almost be expecting it if i was you its sad to hear but the truth. ps i have not been abused yet i guess people just see the p plates and jump to conclusions.

only you can decide if you want to keep the car but you sound like you have put alot of hard work in so just keep that in the back of your mind when you make your decision. PS get like a protective monkey and teach it to catch the eggs and throw em back

even with a shitter at school, MINI worked. I had ppl moving it, stuffing up the paint all sorts of shit. Most ppl of that age are dickheads (mostly footy heads) of ppl who have penis enve

it shits me to that i cant leave my car any where and not worry about some, di(k hitting it, because its better then there commm crap

[leech_]

mostly footy heads

bahaha welcome to erindale college

to add to my first post my datsun 260z got shaving creme put on the bonnet and boot as a smiley face as i was pissing people off with silly string didnt realise but yea it also fades the paint really bad. so if you notice anything on your car i now know wash it off straight away

As said above, youre at college and youre going to get shit from people who are envious of you having such a nice car. Id put my money on that whoever egged it was someone from your school.

As for comments, a few weeks after EVL-R34 crashed I was at my local servo buying ciggerettes and as I was going back to the car some mid 40s wanker decides to turn to me and shake his head saying "****ing unsafe cars, youre probably going to be next...". Just take comments like that on the chin, you bought the car for YOU to enjoy, not for everyone else to judge you on. Their opinion is worth a grain of salt, or thats how I see it at least.

The choice to keep your car is ultimately yours, but it sounds like you have invested quite alot of money into it and it is one of the better examples of an R33 I have seen. Id personally keep it but not drive it to school. It seems to be the way with skylines, alot of people will not drive them unless they have somewhere secure to park it, including me. Have a long hard think about it, but my advice is dont let some old ****wits comments and some jealous haters ruin your love for the car.

Sorry to hear that mate. If its any consulation one of my best mates has been building a car for a couple of years now. It was about two weeks away from being completed when last week some tossers kicked down his garage door when he wasnt home and stole gauges and a stereo from the dash. The dash was a custom Autometer unit costing 4k. The dash is now fcuked and he is put back another six months while he saves to complete the car. The car will no doubt have to be moved to another location. He is even considering selling the thing. Bastards!

We copped a lady in a small hatchback beeping at us @ the museum on the weekend. She couldnt wait 2 seconds for us to move the cars. I could see what she was thinking "bloody hoons". What she didnt know was that we were raising money for a very good cause, she probably hasnt lifted a finger to help. Its that kind of narrow minded people that we can do without.

Dont worry about what other people think mate. You own a nice car, look after it and drive it responsibly give imports a good name. If you can its a good idea to get some driver training if your on your Ps. If you can afford it, practise days out at Wakefield will really show your cars limits and more importantly your own.

Rant over

Thanks guys for being so understanding, i duno wat to do right now, dads going into school tomorrow to see if it can be somewhere else on school grounds not around it (st edmunds college)

Butit just hurts and hurts as i've just had to spend money on 4 new wheels, and now this... its going to be close to 3000$ spent on it in a week! less then infact!

I havent even got the wheels yet, im just waiting for approvals n stuff, n it just puts me back further n further, and i was hoping to do some small mods to it soon aswell, and now i just cant afford to... i work my arse off and trying to balance yr11 with it is hard enough as it is, and all my money goes to, is the shit that jealous fc%ks do to it!

i dont wana sell it, but i duno wat i can do about it either!!! everytime i hop in it, all i can do is smile... but yet i dont know if its worth it just to keep it, its been my dream for along time too and i have been working along time just to have it! but sure as hell, the wallet has felt it ever since i baught it...

year 11 + piece of crap car = just enough money for booze

year 11 + import car= $0

cars are money buckets they just keep taking and taking but get an import and for some reason it seems to be even worse. stupid cars

[race_snooze]

I went to eddies as well, the only place is in the teachers or in the gym carpark, but up there you run into ppl hitting the cars with balls and shit. The other place is across the road (canberra ave) in that dirt carpark next to aviss building (thats not the spelling but you get idea) hope you find somewhere, I know what ppl are like at that school, rich boy pricks and if they cant have it they will break it.

[dayne]

Its only bad because every little shit decides a key mark would look nice here, or an egg mark would look good there, and then the birds liek to do shits here n there on them...]

its all too much, think i really just either need to sell it, and forget about it till im outa school and get something less attention seeking, or buy a little gay v8 holden/ford ute so i fit in with all the bogans n have my skyline as weekender..

[dayne]

Your on the ball snooze, might park right out the front of the school in that little 'U' bit, ive got permission to park there now anyway, but ***in shit school i knew i should of never gone there!!! i really regret it now, but its too late to change!

The school got egged too, but cos of where i park (across the oval) its so easy for people to drive by, my car out of all of them (damn it why couldnt they egg the little shitbox old cars) got targetted! presuming its because its the only nice on there n theyre just jealous ****s!!!

[Veilside R33]

maybe your just a wanker?

lol jokes!......seriously, your not though right? bahaha

[race_snooze]

eddies is not that bad well it wasnt when i was there, I still had a bit of freedom and got away with what ever I wanted, like being drunk in class and stuff, I wouldnt try that any one. Some of my friends were smoking a j in ther middle of class (sience)

[SKYLVIA]

lol eddies sucks the rod big time!! but yeh there are pricks at school and most footy heads too. we cant do that sh!t at school anymore sean we get in the shyt, thats why i wanna go to bunda!!! and if my mate who lives in bungandore got in then i think i have a fighting chance!!, anyway back on topic. do what you like dayne its your life, but as you said maybe it is safer to buy a line when school has finished so then not everyone is doin shyt to it. remember alot of people from school know you have a skyline so it couldve been anyone maybe even that smart ass new kid, who knows, but yeh maybe it is safer to get a line after college (and if you save maybe enough to get a gtr?)

[race_snooze]

maybe it was a marist or dara prick or maybe even gramma

[Gus-]

maybe that gus ki...i mean erm maybe that bus hit it

keep it man, u have worked for it and deserve it. even if its only for weekend/after school use who cares. i sure as hell wont be driving my line to collage (seeing as ill be at erinale and all) it'll only be for after school and wekends.

KEEP IT

[dayne]

Im certain its either a guy with a certain problem who has threatened my car before, but i dont know if he is dumb enough?? good thing is i know where he drives n hes about ALL the time, plus his car stands out from the rest and there is few of them in canberra, beau, its not an inside job, it was a driveby, it was either the guys who egged eddies at the same time (which dep head knows who they are) and theyre in big shit, or its the other guy...

I'll find out.. just wait n see!

[dayne]

Angus, as much as i want too, i really just have to think this out myself, at the end of it, if i sell it, i will make sure i get something just as good!! promise!!

Anyways, im going to try get a GTR by the end of year 12 anyways man!!!

its gota be a nissan, cant be a traitor

[Gus-]

wtf, a gtr by the end of year 12. hope u win lotto, cuz u gotta be dreamin man

[SKYLVIA]

hmmmm it couldve but i think everyone gets over that sh!t in yr11 and 12...... hold on maybe.........
