A janitor asked me about my car, and it came up that I wanted to debadge since I dislike chrome/flashy **** (thus I dont like my tails)

so he says I "should make them light up"

he also tried to talk me into going to some dumbass seminar on some pyramid scheme that was going to make him rich enough to not have to be a janitor for a gym any more, yet here we are months later and guess what his job is...

I really didnt know what to say. It was such a weird question, i would have preferred a traditional 'Yo that whip SICK sonnn"
Same.. Workmates tell me Im speeding and ask if I have gotten any tickets yet. Im going the speed limit the same direction everyday to work

You can check any honest business and you would find out that it doesn't take months to be rich. Heck, it takes years just to get your money back (i.e. restaurant business). What's a pyramid anyways?

No more get rich quick schemes Marge. This time I am going to get rich, and quick!

Yeah I know, red flag #1 was "you have to go to find out" #2 was the whole scheme.

Not sure if serious on the pyramid thing, as sarcasm doesnt work well online, but its along the lines of I sell you some ****, you sell a couple others some ****, they sell others some ****, while I take a cut of all of it.

Kid comments "That's total bull****. That's not an STi, it doesn't have a top mounted intercooler. That's not even a WRX."

Glorious.
hahaha i replied to that kid's post on NS! good to see you on here lanks

Doesn't really apply.. If the sales guy tried to get you to sell fhi to your friends, and then get them to sell fhi to their friends, yeah. What you described is a business

I think he's referring to those scams where you pay xx amount of dollars to join, and your goal is to simply have other people join and they'll be under you're "branch" so to say, and those peoples goal is to get even more to join, etc etc...

I think what he means is a "pyramid scheme" - specifically referring to a business model that is like MLM (multi-level management).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme
Does not necessarily apply to all businesses.

go it

A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves promising participants payment or services, primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, rather than supplying any real investment or sale of products or services to the public.

So a mandatory(almost) Pyramid Scheme is Social Security. LOL


Back to topic:

I showed my cousin a list of mods on a car before I bought, which is a pretty good list (i.e. 6speed STi tranny, Exedy Carbon Clutch and so on.. )


He pointed to the Greddy BOV and said, "This is the best mod of out of this list" ?

Not really funny, but made my day. I was at a light and a school bus was next to me and the kids were all shouting and waving so I waved back. Then they all turned to each other and we're like "HE WAVED!" made both of our days I think haha

Alright, I have a few.

The first week I drove my car a to work got the usual comments from everyone...

"Nice rice box, boy racer..."

"Why did you put that huge wing, and hood scoop on?"

So hears the good story, I just pulled into work, getting back from lunch. I step out and open the back door and an attempt to fetch my phone from under the seat. (It fell while I was driving.) This less then highschool educated boob walks over...

FBK: Flat brim kid
AC: Another coworker
ME: Me

FBK: " Oh sh**, you even gots' the interior all done up"

Me: "No, no..just like the exterior, the interior its all stock, I've explained this a few times now.

FBK: "Nah, mang, no cars come stock with blue racin' seats, I sees' you even got the matching rears"

Me: "No really, thats factory... it comes like this.

At this point another coworker chimes in. He know subarus pretty well.

AC: "This is and STI bud, they come standard with all this race gear, you can check it out online if you don't believe him."

FBK: "I still don't think its orginal, what car company would sell a car that comes stock with a Smurf Blue interior?"

ME: (, I completely lost hope) "Thats a good point..."


So after a few days of ignorent comments and stereo types, I had pretty much lost all hope that anyone would ever know or understand what I'm driving. (I can't imagine how the general public views an STI when they see it driving around them on the road)...But eventually my boss says something to me about my new ride.
I nearly fell over after what he said...simply amazed.

"Hey, I saw your STI out there, love that boxer rumble. I recently test drove the newer body style STI a few weeks ago, the 5 door hatch in white pearl, I almost bought it but my wife didn't like the way it looked."

Mind you this guy is about 62 years old, and drives a Prius. His "nick name" is Jeff Goldbloom (sp?)

Epic.

haha awesome boss! I bet that was refreshing after the flat brim kid... and to him: the company that sells cars with smurf blue interiors is the same that puts pink emblems on an overly masculine car haha
