What I don't get is "that guy" that cares why others bought the cars they bought.

In fact the only one to give me crap about it being a v6 was my uncle and thats just cause he likes giving me a hard time.
Same here... I have a messed up elbow so i wouldnt be able to shift. But yea i just dont converse with those kinds of people.

I get it from people all the time. The look of disappointment in their face when I tell them "its a V6"

I then proceed to ask "Well, what do you drive?"

When they point to their honda civic I shake my head, get in my car, and drive away.

Yeah I get that about L99. All I have to do show people the six inch plate in my left arm from a compound fracture that I had when my car was ordered and that talk ends fast.

What dont you get about it a 2lt guy can tell you the same thing why are we gonna pay around the same for a simple SS when I can own a 2lt that looks way better.

You see not everybody bought there car to go to the track.I was 18 when i bought mine it was my first new car and didnt see the point with getting the v8 sense insurance and just flat out keeping up with the v8 maintainace wise was money I didnt want to worry about in the future.

i see it mostly just us younger v6 ers that get hated on.. it because of age imo.. nobody cares about an older dude in an SS, theyre gonna pick on the younger crowd because of jelousy... i was 18 when i got mine too.. ujust my opinion when your older, have a decent job you could afford a loaded SS just fine.. heck i know a few janitors, with BA camaros... its an age thing.. now the many 15-20 year olds with loaded 2ss's .. those are some BAMF's right there

Damn that sucks, better to get it fixed if you can. Believe it or not my arm almost works completely fine after getting this.
