Rice Burner haters, why????!!!! Options

[YellowTwo]

okay, these 2 people were talking about burning out and stuff cause they had their so called "american muscle" cars and i said that my car can burn out pretty well but not really good. so one of them gets pissed off! he tells me "you might be able to PEELout but you cant BURNout"...i didnt know there was a difference!

so then he tells me "you cant even talk in conversations like this cause you have a rice burner you f***er." so then, later, they are talking about how many valves they have in their engines and they both say 2 valves per cylinder and i say "i have 4 valves per cylinder so thats like 16 valves." (not trying to act like my car is better or anything) and the guy gets pissed off again! he's all "no you dont! thats bs." anyway, i tell him im positive because it says right on the engine "16 valves".

this just pissed me off very badly. he always talks about how "4 bangers" suck ass. some of them have over 300 hp! plus, he has this crappy $2300 '89 mustang w/a crappy paint job and he thinks his car is sooo much better than mine. he hates all rice burners and i just dont understand how people hate them so much. he knows that i know that his car is faster than mine...but its not slower than **** like he says it is.

thank you for listening to my frustration of these kinds of people.

Yeah, I dunno what the point of people going on and on about what car is better get out of it. Its whatever you are happy with, not what makes other people happy. That said, I WILL NEVER EVER buy an american car again in my life after my first car, a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3. That car, hands down, has to win the biggest piece of sh*t award ever. In the 45,000 mi that i had it ( I bought it new ) the emmisions system failed 3 times, the battery exploded, and the transmission failed at 30,000 (auto)! Thats not counting all the "minor" problems like loose mirrors, loose trim, and the CD player never working for more than 30 min. I was at the dealer with somthing under warranty at least every other week. Needless to say I got sick of it and bought a car I have always found to be very very beautiful, my Celica coupe. As much as there are people who swear by domestic cars who talk trash about how our imports are slow and worthless, there will never EVER come the day that you will hear of this guy's chevy or that guy's ford running 100,000 mi without somthing going wrong. I mean come on- most of us on this site have celicas approaching 100,000 or better, all without ANY mechanical problems. Now you go and tell me when is the last time you saw any american car commonly go 100,000 mi with no problems? You dont. It makes me think of my grandpa when his buick died and he got a toyota camry for a loaner. he said that his 1936 pontiac he had way back in the day was a nicer car! OOOOOKKKK! Its attitudes like that I cant stand. So for all the trast talk us import lovers may have to recieve from the ignorant- just smile in your head at the fact that you know you'll never need a tow truck, unlike the unlucky man with the mustang who just blew a head gasket trying to show you what was up...
