Something like:

I love my new 2SS/RS and it looks amazing, its one hot car. I think GM sort of dropped the ball between 1LT/RS 2LT/RS and SS/RS. What I mean is the SS/RS I think should have a bit more styling to separate it more from the 1LT and 2LT models. They all look sweet but if GM put a bit more into the SS I would have been even more impressed. What do you guys think? Could GM have put more styling into the SS, the engine is great but im talking exterior.

See how that didn't insult the 1lt/2lt owners but explained my opinion?

Cheers to that.

People who bought the RS package are criticizing you because you want it to be more different on the SS model than the LT model because you're paying more for it. They're not hypocrites because they're happy with what they've got- you're not. That's the difference between them and you.
You want to talk about cars? Lock your topics. It's easy. Find a mod/admin online, throw them a PM saying "hey, can you please lock my threads?" include the links, and you're done. You can go back to talking about cars.

Yes. People can say things that come out the wrong way some times. That's why I opened this thread up: to explain myself. But instead of giving me a fresh start, people rehashed old wounds as if I truly meant to offend people.

I have stake in this, because people accused me of being "bad", and I'm not so I have a right to defend myself. The bigger question is why all these people are so eager to come to this thread and keep bashing - what stake do they have in wanting to make me look bad by insisting that their judgment of me is correct?

I'm cooler than you.

Yeah?
I've got sunglasses. That's perma-cool right there.

That's what respect is: respect for people's opinion. Since you asked the moderator to shut me down because you disagree with my opinion, then you obviously have no respect.

For the record, I think a lot of threads are frivolous and silly here, and I've mentioned a few. But I don't go on those threads to attack those people: I respect their right to think the way they do.

There you go, tellin me about myself again.

Go back, read my last 8 responses, and think real hard until you get it. It's not what you're saying, but how you say it. I might have had time to talk cars with you, if your post hadn't been littered with condescending attitude, causing me to completely forget what you had wanted to discuss to begin with. FACE. (As you can see, I'm barely taking you seriously at this point.)

Douchenozzle. (Suweeet! Thanks THUMPER20X for the use of your word. Quite spectacular in use, I must say.)

Yes, you're right. I could have said it that way, but I didn't. My mistake. So let me bloody apologize and move on! Why keep bashing me when I'm trying to explain that I'm not trying to be better than everyone?

As an AP English and Language student, I can tell you that its the way you phrased your first post.
I'm not gonna lie. You seem like a cool guy to me, and I'm sure you're not a spoiled kid, but the way you've been phrasing everything up until this point makes it seem like you are.
You can just go back in, change everything (like that whole "hot" thing) and try to avoid bashing LT/RS owners, and you'll be god.

Thanks man, you won't regret it! Love this car- I could have a 5th gen right now, if I were willing to trade my 02, but it's never gonna happen! Gotta see them sitting side-by-side one day!

Do you have a purple Camaro?
That's like triple perma-cool right there.
Haha. Just kidding. I can't compete with $300 shades.

Well, it's my dream car. If they came out with an '11 Z, I simply couldn't afford it being a 17 year old kid. If I could afford it, insurance would be murder.I've decided to refrain from buying a new car until I can afford to keep two. I simply couldn't part with my special car. It means more to me than anything I own, not only because it's one of the rarest things I own, but because it's also the symbol of the trust my parents have in me and the fortune I've had shine upon me.
I'm just too thankful to get rid of it.

...and I love the purple.

I can smell douche like a fart in a car with the heat cranked. Im exposed to it daily lol.

I'm sorry but you distinctly asked a moderator to shut me down. That's how they treat free speech in North Korea.

I'll say it again: I apologize that I offended you. My statements were misinterpreted due probably to their convolutedness. Let's talk about cars.
