You can research it. You will find it in the dictionary between $hit and Syphilis.

It is hysterical that you called me on real men shopping, and not the misogynistic follow up.
Almost peed my pants! Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh.

If i came roaring up to the the grocery story, down shifting to first as a pulled into the parking lot, speeding through the lot in first gear just to show off how loud my car is, making sure to pass by the front of the store so that as many people as possible could smell the fumes, and then parked... receiving a note on my car should be expected.

However, entering at the furthest entrance of the parking lot, cruising just barely above idle, and parking as far away from people as possible, such as I did, doesnt leave much reason for a response such as this.

All of the replies above that support the action of the note writer, assume that he somehow heard my "obnoxiously loud" car or smelled my fumes. Less than likely seeing how i was just above idle and far away from any people.

Now with this being the case, the note writer didnt have much reason other than what i think is to show off that he could tell i have removed my cats from simply hearing my idle or that he is an environmentalist.

so no need to bash on catless cars, a large portion of members here have them. they just need to be driven responsibly and courteously.
I'm with you on what you say here. It doesn't appear the note writer was justified in leaving that on your car since you weren't really making much noise idling through the parking lot. There's no excuse for him.

I'm also pretty sure that when you want to you can make a hell of a lot of noise (and smell ) with your car. Maybe the note writer has witnessed you (on some other occasion) in one of your more aggressive moments and took the opportunity to let you know his feelings about it. It wouldn't be hard for him to pick you out of a crowd if he's at all familiar with your car. Hell... it may have been a neighbor of yours that did it. He happened to see your car in the parking lot and took advantage of the opportunity to remain anonymous.

You can't express sarcasm in a forum post. Use the proper tags: <sarcasm></sarcasm>

I'm not a fan of the smell without cats. However I removed mine since they were starting collapse after one of my HPD events. Not to mention three other cars in our club that were forced inducted had failed cats after a track day, one resulting in a damaged piston. So I will live with the smell of being catless if that means my car won't have mechanical issues.

Actually... you won't. It comes before $hit.

Oh wait! More sarcasm?

Yes, I can.

1.) Freedom of speech.
2.) Look at the context. Did you honestly believe that I was making the actual statement that "Real men don't use lists"?
That I was stating as a fact that anyone, who happens to be male, and uses a list at any point, is therefore less of a man?

Are you trying to troll?
Did any fiber of your consciousness actually believe that was not sarcasm?
If so, I pose the following question to you, and to you alone:
Why is the word "Gullible" not in any dictionary in the English language?
I'm serious, "Gullible" is not a real word, and is not listed in any dictionary. Look it up if you don't believe me.

I'm not sure anyone you didn't know would go out of their way to find a piece of paper to write on, and leave a note about your car. especially since you said you were going maybe 5mph. I think there's a great chance it was a friend, or someone you know, that knows your car. playing a joke, or someone that really doesn't like you.

Shame you were given that. I came out of the local outlet mall to find a note on my car too. It said "Your car is awesome"

Apparently, we cross paths with very different people lol

as i got in my car and drove off seeing the note under my windshield wiper i thought, "hmm, maybe someone liked my car and wanted to leave a note"

when i read the note, it still brought the same exact enjoyment and laugh as if it was a note complimenting my car. i actually enjoyed it

A good scare to say the least! Because a BMI of 5.4 would, literally, mean you are a skeleton.

Back on topic - LOL at this thread.
