She specifically walked past our car and when I asked about the show she said its for classic muscle cars only.
I guess our 2010 isn't considered a "classic".
While I can understand if it was designated for old school, or "vintage" cars, I think the gen 5 is as much a classic as any muscle car made.
Things don't have to be old to be classic. At least that's the way I feel about it.
I suppose it doesn't matter, but sort of felt dissed.
I'd be so tempted "Fine, keep your handout, I won't bring the SS396 either". Whether or not I actually had one wouldn't matter at that point because she was making an assumption that I couldn't possibly have anything that would have "fit in".
