I get that ALL the time from my family. The comment usually goes something like this "Why would you lower your car?!? Now it looks like a ghetto Mexican is driving it, you ruined your Lexus..." (no offense to Mexican people, just reffering to that cheap modded car stereotype)

I hope others dont view my car like that

not only "mexicans" can be put in this subject though, ive seen every race do some off the wall type stuff. but anyway

moving on with this thread.

Heh, I just traded in my grey 04 Corolla LE for a grey 2012 IS350 AWD. If the kiddies in the neighbourhood think I still have a Corolla parked in the driveway then that's fine by me ! I think I would prefer it that way.

I think some of you guys are missing the point of this thread. It's about the worst compliment, not worst comment. In other words, the person saying it wasn't trying to be mean, they were trying to be nice, but in reality it doesn't come across that way.

Calling the car cute, for example, to the person calling it cute, that's something they like about the car, but to the owner, they wouldn't want their car to be considered cute.

This thread is about people saying something they think is positive, however to you, it is a negative. If they mean it as a negative, it's not a compliment, lol.

"I love the look of your Mercedes-Benz" does that count? I had to look around the gas station to make sure she wasnt talking to me and to check if if there wasn't a Benz around me.

When I have Carolla's try and speed on me. I just drop gear and handle it. Last thing I need is some carolla saying I have an expensive version of their car. I tell them they have a cheap version of mine. Seriously, leather isn't even an option for them...

"I like the way the door closes!" ... she then proceeds to open and closes the door a few times. I guess it does sound pretty nice

A handful of people have called my IS cute (even with the F-Sport package) but it doesn't bother me. I know a lot of women think the IS is cute and I could see why they would think that.
