lol on the ticket betting pool..............and though I've avoided being among those caught for nearly four decades. I've deserved a few................for applying the true idiotic speeders rule "That it isn't how fast its capable of going" but how fast your willing to make it go.............knock on a plastic dash. lol

almost too many to recount now, but most recently...

A guy down the street from me has an ABM w/ white stripes. We were coming in opposite directions and going really slow to squeeze by all the cars parked on the side of the street. There was about 5-6 10 year old kids playing in a front yard and they were all looking at us. One kid goes "Hey look at the cool new mustangs!" and the rest of the kids in UNISON go "NO THEY"RE CAMARO"S!!" haha I had to give them the thumbs up for that one.

at the gas station one day I was just getting back into the car after pumping and the guy at the diesel pump next to me filling his 2010 duramax jacked up with skyjacker stickers all over it and 35" tires goes....."must be nice to make all that money" haha I said "Go look up what one of these things cost and you'll be selling your truck for 2 of 'em"

had a guy pull up next to me at the gas station and say "they really dont know how to make corvettes anymore."
also had "is that a ferrari" i replied "yes it is actually" he then said "how do you have so much money?" I kindly said "I do not"
And lastly I had someone pull up next to me in a Nissan GT-R, yes a NISSAN Gt-R which costs lets say 3x what the camaro does, hes says "man i wish i could afford one of those new camaros..." thinking he was being cocky I replied, "well i wouldnt waste my money on something not american" to be a smart ass, he says "well if i could have bought one of those considering they're over a 100 grand i would have..." WOW. talk about buying a nice fast car and not knowing jack about anything...

I was driving home last spring, enjoying the warm weather, riding with my window down, traffic was moderately heavy, and I suddenly hear someone scream "OH MY GOD!" panicking, I look around to see what had happened, but it was just a car load of teenagers gawking at my Camaro, one kid hanging out the window saying "NICE CAR!!" I just gave a thumbs up and kept going, but it scared the CHEESE outta me...

Yesterday morning I was at a traffic light in the left lane. A truck was next to me in the right lane. Light turned green and I jumped on it hard and left the truck standing there. I had to because 1/4 mile up I needed to get into his lane so I could pull into the gas station for my morning stop of coffee and paper. Turns out he came into the same gas station. Gets out and yells over to me " SHOW OFF", then continues to tell me that it did sound really good.

That made my day.

My wife took Nightmare to get the 1k mile oil change and the guy at the shop came over to her and ask if she was the one that drove the new Corvette.

she laughed at him and told him it was a new Camaro

My husband took a little kid from church for a ride in his car. The kid asked my husband if the wings were engaged yet when my husband hit the gas a little hard and put the kid back in his seat. Apparently the kid really thought the camaro would transform into a jet.

The main thing that I get told is "PTSHH, wow must be nice"...said in a sarcastic tone.

I'm a E4 at a command that is full of E6-E8's and most of them just hate (IMO) because they all drive crappy imports with 4 doors and kid seats in the back and don't have the stability to enjoy a brand new coupe...

now before anybody gets up in arms about my comment, I'm not knocking the guys that drive crappy 4 door imports as a DD to conserve on gas and preserve their Camaro. but when that's all you drive because you don't know how to plan financially and decide to have 4 kids on a single income you shouldn't be hating on somebody that planned ahead a little bit.
