Yes, this person is probably poorer than your average person being in what looks to be a duplex/apartment/townhome neighborhood. But really? You think she is a prostitute? Why can't she be a factory worker living with roommates? You don't think somebody making 40k a year and paying $400/mo on rent could afford 28" rims and a V6 Camaro? give me a break. If I lived in my apartment still. I could easily afford the payments on a Porsche 911 Turbo. Heck maybe even a slightly used Ferarri. But you know what, I had different priorities. I had friends in college with fast and expensive cars that they spent half their paycheck on every month. Some people really like their cars and they are status symbols. To instantly judge somebody so harshly with derogatory generalizations is completely unacceptable. You don't like the car, fine, but to call the woman a prostitute, or the "man" a drug dealer is so hateful that it borders on insanity.

This thread is displaying ignorance of titanic proportions. Cripes people! I am embarrassed for you by some of the posts that I just read. Are these kinds of threads where people seem to feel a need to pontificate, judge and criticize becoming more and more common around here lately...or is it just me?

I was first attracted to this forum by the idea of people sharing a common and mutual passion for the 5th Gen Camaro. If we can develop a little camaraderie in addition to it all, that's a good thing, but I am not interested in your politics, religion, social commentary and I certainly am not interested in being exposed to bigotry and narrow mindedness.

I guess its the sign of our culture with the Internet and the social media phenomena, i.e., Facebook, Twitter, etc. Places where we think that somehow others are interested in our opinions, even if sometimes those opinions are expressed with a lack politeness, civility and respect.
