: Another SRT8 at my job, should I be pissed or pleased?
Deraynged 04-25-2010, 11:53 PM So I went in to work a couple nights ago, I work at a refinery so needless to say there is always heavy traffic in the parking lot so when driving the beast I always park all the way to the rear of the parking lot, diagonally and take up two spots. So I'm driving to my usual spot and, lo and behold, there is another red rock parked in my spot, exactly how I usually park. I dunno how I'm feeling about this as I had the only red beast locally, there are about 4 blacks, 1 gray, 1 blue and 1 white SRTDesign. I can deal with all the other colors but another red...especially at my job sharing the same parking area, I dunno. Mine is debadged, slightly tuned and modded, his is bone stock but with the fishing rod antenna and people still get them crossed. Should I be pissed or pleased that there is a new local SRT8, what you guys think?
yungsrt 04-26-2010, 12:03 AM U should be pleased.
There is not a lot of JEEP SRT around.
But, u should be pissed if he starts modding the Beast to the point that it's faster than yours.
Then you'll have to out do him. hehehe
JohnsonSRT8 04-26-2010, 12:36 AM I'd be pissed if he took my parking spot lol
Three Oh Diesel 04-26-2010, 06:13 AM Looks like he was sending a message of admiration. Its easier just to embrace it and congratulate the imitator. :)
Billy Budd 04-26-2010, 06:33 AM "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", hahaha. Hell, this person liked your rig so much not only did they get the same color, they took your spot! Better watch your wife at the company picnic! Kidding of course. Someone just really liked your Jeep. Honestly, it would bug me a little, but I'd get over it. Unless of course it's a hot secretary or something. Regardless, we'll keep our eye out to see if someone starts posting here as "Deraynged2".
YoungMedic23 04-26-2010, 06:48 AM There is a silver Srt8 Jeep in my city....a friend of mine....his Jeep is modded, loud, and has a medic hood....people get us mixed up all the time...
Doesn't really bother me
Funny tho...whenever he gets pulled over...my friends ask me why did i get stopped and i'll just be hanging out at work or sometimes they'll do something crazy and drive up by him and notice it's not me a feel stupid lol
Joe Las Vegas 04-26-2010, 07:45 AM Pissed if he beats you, pleased if he's cool and talks about mods...
Rez90 04-26-2010, 08:25 AM Not to sound like a jerk....but seriously....do you not feel special anymore?
It's a car.....a nice car at that. Share your common interest with someone else who made the exact same choice as you did. You might have more in common then you think...
There's way more important things in this world to be pissed off about.........

So you're saying the parking lot has heavy traffic, but isn't completely full? Because anyone who parks diagonally across two parking spots is just asking to have their truck keyed to the high heavens.
KANOA 04-26-2010, 08:46 AM I'd be pissed if he took my parking spot lol
I was going to say the same thing.
pjs1965 04-26-2010, 08:55 AM My take is 'make a new friend', introduce him to the forum, encourage him to 'be different' :) I always feel it's better to embrace it than to let it burn inside you. No reason for that, life's way too short, way too fragile to waste the energy on it, ya know?

Nope, not special anymore now that there is a second red, I dont recall saying I was a pleasant person. My Jeep is one of the few things I get pissed about. I am so bad, I have put people out of the beast for things like slamming the doors, pushing buttons or interfering with my stereo equipment. There was this one chick that started acting up in the beast and chose to attempt to drop it in reverse while I was doing about 60, she was promptly thrown out.
WBSRT 04-26-2010, 09:34 AM Race him for pink slips problem solved, LMAO

Pretty good answer. ;)
supabusa 04-26-2010, 10:02 AM He may of figured you were saving him a spot since you took up two parking places.
HoustonHemi 04-26-2010, 10:43 AM Do you know the guy? Have you met him?
If not, he is clearly wanting to meet you by parking there.
rglax 04-26-2010, 10:49 AM I'd be pissed that he took my spot but you better than him and you know it
mustbf8 04-26-2010, 10:51 AM I have to drive three hours just to meet other forum members! I would love if there were a couple Jeeps in my area!
Deraynged 04-26-2010, 11:23 AM Do you know the guy? Have you met him?

Nope, not yet. Actually the word around the workplace is he's a girl, just found that out last night. I think I need to make it to work a lil early tonight. LoL!
Deraynged 04-26-2010, 07:00 PM So you're saying the parking lot has heavy traffic, but isn't completely full? Because anyone who parks diagonally across two parking spots is just asking to have their truck keyed to the high heavens.
Not entirely. That area is where all the toyz park; the usual gamut of WRXs, Evos, Hondas and Chevy 1/2 tons on 26s. The mentionables are the SRTs, a supercharged Mustang GT, a supercharged Mustang Cobra SVT, a twin turbo BMW and a twin turbo Audi RS6. No real chance of keying, unless from a hater in general.
BOYCHIKS 04-26-2010, 07:01 PM First race him, then you can see.
eddiefig 04-26-2010, 07:25 PM Nope, not yet. Actually the word around the workplace is he's a girl, just found that out last night. I think I need to make it to work a lil early tonight. LoL!
I think the thread title should be changed to, "SHOULD I BE PISSED OR SHOULD I GET HER NUMBER?". Lol. If I see another SRT somewhere, I try to park next to it to make the point of, if we're already a rare breed, lets let everyone enjoy the sight of two in the same place. Lol.
cyazo6 04-27-2010, 07:34 AM I would love it if another SRT Jeep owner came to my work! I wouldn't care if he had the same color either. Just my out look.
