Default Dinosaur

A few weeks ago a guy in VW Golf called my Falcon a dinosaur, so what should I call his VW if I happen to see him again.

Seems my word was filtered. Ok, it starts with w, ends in r, and the middle letters are a, e, k, n in no particular order.

Tell him that's funny coming from a driver of a car brand which might pollute more then dinosaurs ever did.

call him unAustralian. ask him exactly what facets of the Falcon make it a dinosaur.

Tell him his car has no space and no go.

When someone says something like that to me I just agree with them.

I’m too thick skinned to care and usually they want you to bite and if you don’t, they get to walk away as the loser.

And regardless of the emissions controversy which would mean a thing to me if I owned one, I was in my brother-in-law’s Golf yesterday and they are a great little run around car, so why fight it.

By the way, what model Falcon do you drive?

Don't say anything, just punch him in the face. That's what they used to do back in the old days. Seemed to work. People seemed to get hurt more by words these days anyway.

I'm proud of my relics, I'd never be offended by some "guy" in a Golf, no matter what he said.

Did you ask what he drives when he's not in his wife's car?

Hitlers Revenge.

Seriously they are hands down some of the worst cars to work on and get parts for, he sounds like one of those dudes who rocks up to my workshop in their VW then gets the tears rolling, small violin orchestra playing and starts squealing like a stuck pig when they hear prices for parts.

My poor writing skills - it should have read 'wouldn't mean a thing to me'.

As others have said, why sweat it, I've had worst things said about my cars and myself, he's obviously the one who needs to jusify his purchase otherwise he wouldn't have said anything.

You can't say things like that anymore, you will loose your job and never be able to work again in your industry and others.
They will stomp all over you like Nazi's and they have all the power in the world to destroy you now.

Fwiw last weekend heading out of town i was behind a late model VW something and for the length of the whole bloody passing lane he simply refused to pull left,his mate kept looking back then when back into one lane he starts dabbing the brake pedal in order i guess for me to attempt to pass him,didnt bother as i was heading to a pub just up the road thing is so was he and upon getting there we park up next to him,mrs gets outta the GTP looks at them and says "should have ******* known a couple of faggots" my mrs is generally a pretty quiet sort of lady but every now and then....
