I don't spend any time on that forum unless I have a technical question. But even then I don't ask for help. I just try to search for my answer. I have read too many posts that someone asks a question and all they get is a bunch of idiots trying to out insult each other. That's why I get upset on here when I see others doing the same thing. I don't want this forum to turn into one like that one.

The S-10forum is a total bunch off d-bags. The site S10Planet is much nicer but almost dead. That was my home before here. I still have a dime and about 1/2 a truck worth of parts. If you need help I have a 1/2 decent knowledge base of all things S-10 related.

Thanks, it didn't take long for me to learn that. They don't even follow their own rules, I reported one post for harassing and age discrimination and the mod basically chewed me out for reporting it.

Sorry for taking it off topic. Back to the topic now.

I've heard 2 stupid comments the biggest one from some Honda ricer guy that's like 34 years old always (tries) to give me shit and I hear it from other people all the time is always why did you get a automatic in which I reply I didn't buy this from Chevy I didn't even plan on buying a car when I got this second with 650 hp what's it matter you want to race they never do so whatever. Then the stupid question are you going to put Lamborghini doors on it....hell no. Another one I don't get asked just hear and it kind of annoys me are all the kids that say its bumblebee.

Sexist comment alert!

Seems like all the ignorant comments I get are from female co-workers. I described one exchange in an earlier post. Just last week I get this one:

female co-worker: Nice car.

me: Thank you.

female co-worker: I just can't see paying for a fancy car like that. I'd rather travel.

This coming from someone who has his and her Harleys and a husband who drives a late model GMC pick-up with a Duramax. The hypocrisy of her statement left me speechless.

1st Boy - Wow, look at that Camaro I just love that color.
2nd Boy - Oh you mean that GM shit green color. GM had that color as an option on the Corvette for 5 or 6 years and they never sold a single Corvette in that color. They had a million gallons of paint in that color so to get rid of it they decided to put it on the Camaro. A few people finally ordered it but they still had just thousands of gallons of the paint left. Now you can get it on the Sonic and nobody is still buying it. I heard a few weeks ago that GM is finally just going to just dump the paint to get rid of it.
1st Boy - Really, Wow I did not know that.

I just sat there and did the face palm as they walked away, How can you even respond to something that stupid?
I woulda straight laughed in their face... you can't really even get mad at something like that, its obvious hes got problems...

I for one LOVE that color lol

Had a kid(douche) in a brand new CLS550 tell me "Camaro's are slow" at a red light before a freeway entrance. I didn't say a word back and I laughed when he tried to beat me getting on to the freeway and I let him know just how slow his dad's new Merc really was.

Nothing but real compliments, other than my ex's mother when she first saw my car said: "What are you having a mid-life crises?" I considered that a compliment. I wanted to say, no crises, just a mid-life adjustment.

In my parking lot there is a guy (really cool) who owns a Subaru BRZ (manual). He was stunned to learn that I purchased the L99 automatic ... and said "but dog ... you gave up all the horsepower!". He is a really cool guy but I just thought it was funny. I figured my explanation was good enough .... I never learned to drive stick. In my family ... no one drove stick and cars were not very important. It was not until I turned 28 and started making good $$$ that I was interested in muscle cars. Why would i spend over 40k to purchase a stickshift car that I would destroy bc I cannot drive stick?

You would be surprised the kind of abuse a manual car can take 😳 I've ridden with some people who were absolutely awful and had owned the car for 7 years, it is quite shocking what a clutch can take lol
