Title: My Embarrassment
Post by: ADavis on June 09, 2005, 03:21:54 PM
Okay, you all might appreciate this.  I had to drive my 90 Tracker to work the other day and one of the directors of a department approached me to state that my little Tracker was a complete embarrassment! (no joke).  wow, that took balls.    Yeah, it may be dented, scratched, and have rock rash on all four corners, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.....plus it has air conditioning ;D  People like that probably buy jeeps for us to rescue!  Have a good one all and keep on wheeling.

no people like that buy a Hummer 2 and never take it off road and swear it could go anywhere and not ever get stuck. bucause they don't understand its not the size that matters its how u use it. oh did i mension if he gets his $50,000 "tahoe" i mean hummer2 dirty he would have a breakdown right there. he probly doesn't even know what offroading is, to him it is a sticker on the side of the truck. people like that give us all a reason to kick someones ass and not stop to help them when they have a flat tire because they refer to a tire tool as that little twisty thing. well if he is ur boss that sucks if not take his valve stems so he can call AAA and put his membership to good use. Oh have a good laugh. sorry u work with a jerk to by the way. i guess u could just smile and go on with life knowing ur a better man. i like the valve stem idea though.

What a dick. You should approach him he next time you see him in the lot and tell him that he is an embarrisment to the entire education system. Any one as ignorant and judgemental as his ass is an embarisment to any one around them.

I bet he drives a BMW ::) Here is an oldie but godie:

Dies any one know the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? ;D

people like that i just dont even bother about. it just goes to show how much they really know. i just turn my ears off, and they disappear.

people like that give us more reason to continue to build our machines the way we are.

i cant really think of an exact way to describe those type of people. well, i guess its not even worth trying to describe them.

well, i think those people are the ones that buy this kind of stuff:

That sucks my boss thinks my rig is really cool. He loves to see it parked in the parking lot all dirty.
and I work as a computer geek so the rest of the cars in the lot are more expensive.
I have to agree I wouldn't trade it for anything.

My approach would be more subtle... I would continue to drive the Tracker to work, making sure to have it good and muddy every time, and I would park it right next to HIS car every time! And I might even open my door a little hard and if the mud was nice and fresh/wet, I would grab a handful and splat it right in the middle of his windsheild! LOL!!!

aww just park it so that the passenger side is just close enough so that he has to brush up against it in his suit.

I love doing that to the exec at work who can't figure out that his Land Rover does not belong in two parking spots.
course when he does this I'm guaranteed a parking spot since the Sammy is the only thing that will fit next to him.

Ah, I love parking next to those people who take up two spots.  The tracker is small enough to fit and I really don't care if he opens the door to his caddy and hits my door.  Of course, I'm sure it scares the hell out him seeing that my car is sooo close ;D  I think your right, I should just drive it there everyday and really screw with him.  Of course, I like the idea of taking out the valve stems....then I could sell him some on-board air...$10 per psi 8)  Anyway, what it all comes down to is that some people are really ignorant and don't realize a wolf in sheeps clothing.  Then again, that could be a good thing, I really don't worry about people stealing the car.

yes drive it each day park beside with fresh mud each day and if he says anything drive over the curb on the way out thru the ditch and onto the road and definately thro mud on his car
Title: Re: My Embarrassment
Post by: Craw4x4PH on June 09, 2005, 07:59:07 PM
You've said it all ;D

Another thing to do is: put a small stone inside his valve caps and put it back on tight. This way the stone will push on the pin and slowly deflate his tires ;D by the time he gets a flat you'll be far away from the crime scene :P

Supergluing a BB into the valve cap also works, and they might or might not realize its there so tire goes flat they fill it up, and it goes flat again. Not that I would ever do anything like that..

hmmm, dont get me wrong now, but i cant see how this certain person who we refer to, can have enough brains to pump a flat tyre up, or ever know what a valve is, let alone change a wheel.

anyway, i would think BMW, or MERCEDES would have a 24hour roadside pick up and deliver service for their customers.

anyway, its always funny when you hang around just to see what their expressions were when they see their flat tyre.

i've once seen a lady driving a pick up with a flat rear tyre. she pulls over to the side of the road, and doesn't get out. 5 mins later, she starts to drive off again, totally unaware she has a flat tyre. turns out she got a phone call, and pulled over to answer it.

there are many people in the world like this. just never ceases to amaze me.

If i drive the sub to work people wont park next to it.  the tracker is stock, and people wonder why i drive it to work and never wash it, i told my boss its a crime to wash a 4x4. now the ricer always shines,"but its getting dusty sitting in the driveway".  

but these are the people that dont understand eating a hamburger for breakfest? thats normal

offer to take the "director" on a trail ride someday ... the "embarrassment" will be him crapping his pants when you take a steep off camber hill climb or that 3' deep "puddle".

What an |removethispart|@ss....I mean really...who comes up and tells you your truck is a complete embarassment? I mean maybe say boy its had a rough life...but a complete embrassment? Tell him his wife is a complete embarassment but he kept her...:D

I vote for the mud/park close thing.

Actually here at work when I still had grey primer on my white sidekick , they actually looked up the number of the sticker to see if it matched the vehicle, they thought noone that is staff (university) would drive something like that.  Luckily I know the chief of saftey & stupidity and the officer that checked my sticker got harrassed back for being stupid....still pissed me off though.

It runs well, its paid for so I don't have that huge new car payment or insurance, and it has served me well for many many miles....so where is the problem?

Hey Aaron, can you really make hamburgers for breakfast in that super neat little RV? Park that by the idiots Beemer.

It ocurs to me that some of my zukbrothers might classify my Calmini project Vitara  as part of the   "Asphalt 4 Wheelers Club "  because it has yet to get a dent in it or break anything. ...Ok I can take it. Give me your best shot  ;D

Hamburgers, Chicken, what every you want to cook.  It has a three burner stove, ice box, and 15 gl of water.  I like your idea, I think I'll open a breakfast nook in the morning and have a sign that says " all proceeds go to my Tracker". ;D

My Vit won't pull my RV, so my RV pulls my Vit. But hey, what ever works, right. Besides you can get into those spots close to the fish.              

I have thought about making some sort of slide-out bed platform for my 88 sam for when I'm out in snake country. Hang a tarp off the roof rack and you've got "Home Sweet Home" Or you could even back into the fishing hole and fish off the back deck. I'll bet the beemer dude wouldn't understand than either...  ;D

Post by: ADavis on June 11, 2005, 03:22:00 PM
Yeah, I understand.  Pulling my little trailer is no longer an option with the 4x4 vehicle.  Since I sold my bronco, I have to use my 4-runner to pull the trailer.  Although the Tracker weighs about a 1000lbs. more than the trailer, it doesn't have the power to pull it.

Sorry this is a little off subject, but how do you run ac and onboard air?
Did you offer to take the director wheeling?  That way  he might see the "beauty" of your beast. ;D

I have a QuickAir electric pump on-board.  The A/C Compressor does work really well but it is not worth the trade-off of cool air on a hot day.  Call me a pussy, but I had enough hot days in my bronco, A/C is very enjoyable ;D If you want a electric pumb that kicks, look up Kirby (I think that is it, if you are really interested, I'll find the info on it).  He has mounted a York A/C compressor to hook up to a 12 volt system.  I ran the York in my bronco and it was absolutly amazing.  I could run air tools off of it.

I would demand an apology or he would be feeling the floor mighty quick.

I once had some dumb-ass construction worker call my Sidekick a piece of shit...at the time I wasn't as ballsy as I am now, and lucky for him I wasn't, because I would have knocked his teeth out.

I never bash anybodies ride.

I really can't count how many compliments I have gotten for my ride in the last 12 years.

I work for a rental car company and we have more service issues with Caddys than any other car. GMs sticking too much crap on them, and the more complex they get, the more that can screw up. I personally had one break down on me in BFE (in between Sioux Falls,SD and Sioux City, IA), after that, I vowed to never rent another one. It was 30 below zero, and I had my 6 month old son and wife in the car, not good I will tell you.
