Another rant

I had just finished installing my noweeds diverters today and wanted to test it out so was heading to the remote areas of the neighbourhood. Enroute I stopped at a signal so thought I'd open it up a bit and had the diverters open at roughly 50%. Along comes this dude in a rather nice looking header orange SRT8 from the opposite direction and just as I thought I'd give him a nod/smile this douche gives me a thumbs down. Just then the signal turned green . I fully opened up the diverters and gave it a little gas. Pretty sure I blew his eardrums off. Hopefully that will be the last time he gives a camaro the thumbs down


What's with the hate going around? I would have expected it from a stang but from a chally. Come on. Have any you guys gotten hate from the challengers too?

Anyways apart from that minor blemish today was a real fun day . Noweeds is definitely a super fun mod. Highly recommend it.

It is beyond understanding. I like all most all decent cars and I can't imagine giving someone a thumbs down unless they did something to intentionally piss me off. You'll never figure out what makes people act the way they do, though. I'm 65 and I haven't yet.

Most of the challengers I've seen just do their best to pretend to not notice me. Not sure why.

Yeah, most Challenger drivers I see don't pay any attention. One did do a friendly drive by me, slow down to my pace, rev up and blow by me with a smile on the highway. He had his 3-5ish year old son with him. It was kind of a fun jab/muscle car thing.

Most haters gonna hate....as said above....and we don't care what haters think because they're obviously ignorant.

To the OP, whenever someone gives the thumbs down just like that , one should have the piece of mind to give back , with likewise love one finger at the time , and it's really up to you to pick the finger for each situation .
