Does driving a manual Nissan get me negative points? I should have -1.

So, you are somehow better than me because you drive a foreign stickshift?

Here is my pity scale

-snobish manual import drivers: give yourself 100 points.

My pity scale is as follows:

0- no pity for you.
10- I look at you and wonder what prescriptions your mother was on when she was pregnant with you
100- I won't even describe this.

Actually, manual import drivers get zero points. Its the snobbish part that does it.

I don't care what you drive, what music you listen to, what shows you watch. I think that your worth as a human being is determined by how you treat other human beings and how you contribute to the well being of others.
I'll take it you drive a domestic then. One point for you.
Unfortunatly, I generally don't sling insults around on ATOT, so when mister 30k posts come back, I'm sure he will outpost me by a whole lot, and thats all that seems to count aroung here.
I'm not mister 30k yet, and I see no reason to get personal with this. Just because I feel immense pity and sorrow for some of the people here doesn't mean we have to get personal. I lament the existence of some of the people here, but there's no reason to get nasty!
I DONT NEED YOUR PITY
Here, take it. It's free!

Me.

- you drive a domestic automobile (exception made for SRT4, mustang GT/Mach1/etc., Viper)

Uh, does a 1987 GMC conversion van count? They don't make anything like them overseas.

- you use a Mac with any significant frequency
What about my mac clone running NT4? Do I get bonus pity points for that?

- you thought that Matrix: Reloaded was as good or better than the first one

It's CLOSE, but not quite the same caliber. Kinda like .50AE vs. .50BMG. So I'm safe here.

- you consistently spend $2,000/year or more on upgrading your home PC

I consistently spend ~$1500 maintaining the ENTIRE FVCKING PC FARM. Anyone spending $2000/year on upgrades for a single machine needs to stop buying every f'n video card that comes out @ $500 a pop.

I need clarification on whether or not my vehicle qualifies and my mac clone qualifies before I can tabulate the final score.

Edit: Spelling
 
whats wrong with buying/driving Domestic auto's?

Let see you go to Home Depot/Lowes with your nissan/toyota,etc minivan,and get 40 sheets of
4x10 sheet rock,and Close the doors.

I can in my Chevy full size van.🙂

Oh,and my Car is a neat old Domestic car,a 1967 Camaro,how many 1967 Non domestic cars are left?

{it is Not an Automatic tho, 😉}

EyeMWingSeems to me that your van is a domestic 🙂 And NT4 or not, you're using a mac! 2 points!

Technically, it's Canadian. But since you say it's domestic, I'll believe it.

And it's not a mac - but a mac CLONE. It bears no fruity logo of fruit. has more architecturally in common with a Slot1 PC than a mac, and doesn't even run MacOS (Although it can). In my opinion, it is no different than any other non-Apple PPC-based system.
 
2 - I drive a domestic car w/auto. It is a 1988 Trans Am though - auto because the 350 wasn't available with the stick! It is all one color (triple black) and in nice shape - i.e. not "mullet- ey" Any exemptions for that 😀?
 
- you spend a good portion of your time driving an automatic 1 point for me
- you drive a domestic automobile (exception made for SRT4, mustang GT/Mach1/etc., Viper) Well I have a Mustang but I also have an Explorer. 1 More point
- you use a Mac with any significant frequency I wish I could use a MAC.
- you watch anime with any significant frequency Nope.
- you thought that Matrix: Reloaded was as good or better than the first one Neither was that great.
- you consistently spend $2,000/year or more on upgrading your home PC Doubtful
- you own, or frequently use, a Nintendo Gamecube (exception made for using the Gamecube as target practice) Nope
- "I could care less" is used when in fact you mean "I couldn't care less" (whether you could or couldn't care any less about it, give yourself a point) Nope never say that
- you spend a significant portion of your time watching/consuming/enjoying either football, baseball, or basketball Yep footbal and baseball, so that is what 2?

Final score:
0: I feel no pity for you and consider you quite possibly a wonderful person.
1: I feel some pity for you, but you're probably still decent.
2: Yet more pity. Though I still think you can be saved, you're truly playing with fire with my pity-levels.
3: There is no chance for you. I feel very sorry for you as a person.
4+ Frankly, I'm quite upset at how far down you've let your life fall and pity is too weak a word to express my feelings about you.

I hope you enjoy the thread! :heart:

So I had 4
