Any other younger owners deal with this crap?
The other day I went to santa maria to visit my aunt
I went to sub way I get out of my car and a man compliments it I say thank you In line he asks me "What engine it got?" I tell him it's a v6 3.6 LLT. He just turns away. His friend walks in and he starts talking crap. "This kid driving his dads camaro doesn't even know hes got a 348 in his car. stupid spoiled brat." "I turn around and say that's the 5.7L.. the LS1.. right? That's doesn't come in a current camaro. You're trying to think of the 6.2L Daddy drives a porche. go **** yourself" And I walked out.. I know I'm younger I OWN MY CAR. but that kinda stuff gets me pretty heated. I'll admit Im not a car person and don't know all the numbers and blocks... but seriously? Anyone else deal with this?

I'm guessing they were old enough that their first vehicle was a 50's truck if they threw out a 348

I haven't had to deal with much of that. Im 18 and have had my 2LT since I was 16 and no older people say things like that but other teenagers or young adults assume that its my dads or something.

You're come back was awesome tho
Unfortunately people are just jerks. I get a lot of crap too for being a girl. I use to get lot of the "is that your boyfriends car" and thats why the car has pink accents. And of course "it can't be a v8 bc the v6s are for girls" I have noticed that now that the car is noticeably modded, 99% of the comments I get are compliments but you'll always have those few jerks.

I'm surrounded by stupid daily. I can handle that stupid;frustration;anger;pain But when someone personally calls you out? I'm sure you got a right to defend yourself.. if it came to physical it wouldn't be at my hands to begin it.
