Default Ug, what would you do?

About a month ago some new tenants’ moved into a building next to ours that shares our parking lot. Its a small lot. Most employees have to walk from a few blocks off and we have reserved spots in the back. I have one of them. So since that tenant moved in, they took about 5 of them and one of the cars parked about 25 feet from mine is another red IS250. I was ok with this. Well...

2 days ago the tenant in the third building bought showed up in the parking lot, in a space not 10 feet from my car with a brand new silver IS350. The exact same car as mine in every way with the exception of different wheels and a shark fin. This one kind of pisses me off, this guy has seen my car parked out there for the past 2 years (I don’t even know him) and he gets the same damn car as me. Why the hell would the guy do that?

20 cars park there and there’s 3 IS's within 25 feet of each other. UG.... how lame is that.

I still rarely see IS's around here and never see IS350's and now a guy has one that looks exactly the same and parks near me.

Hell the dumb arss should have talked to me, I would have sold him mine... I still only have 9K miles after 2 years.

I consider it important for me to own a car that is low production and rare in the area. Meaning if someone sees my IS, its probably the first time they have seen one in my color and model. I dont want to be in a car thats a dime a dozen (aka my Sti and S2000's fetishes)

Time to trade in for a M3

Hate to break it to your bro, but it is a mass produced car.

It's not time to trade.

It's time to modify...

If you want further exclusivity, just start making the car your own. You have the best source for mods with this forum!

Because it's a good car? It's not his fault you're one of those people.

PS the M3 is not exactly rare either.

edit: wait a minute, you care about exclusivity, but you bought a silver one? Ahahahaha.

If he mods his car to look similar to yours(if it's modded) then you have a problem. Other than that, i say get over it and tell him he has a nice ride.
