Okay first priority tomorrow is to purchase a wheel chair and I cane because I'm totally lost. I knew this day would come when I didn't know what the young folk were talking about anymore. The whole blow cut and skin tight jean craze should have been a clue that I was long in the tooth.

I'd dread to know what popped up when you ran that search, popular websites to be sure I'd venture to guess.

On another note...we have a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L as a shop car. I was driving it the other day, and the light let us through an intercetion. There was some kid in a 4th Gen T/A sitting there at the light wildly reving his cammed car at us like he was a rock star. Keep in mind..he probabaly does not know that the car is owned by one of the bigger LSx parts suppliers on the east coast (which likely supplied some of his parts), located a half a mile up the road, or that I have 3 supercharged LSx shop cars at said location. Some people just put too much status on what car they drive, and how much better is is than the next guy.

I've gotten crap because its a V6, because its yellow, because it's impractical to have in Wisconsin, because assumed the insurance is 'probably high', because the tires are to expensive to replace, because its 'not a Dodge' or 'not a Mustang', ....and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few..

But, with my last car, I didn't get any crap at all and the car was barely discussed. It was a plain Jane '07 Charger SE. So the Camaro's got people taking notice and talking--good, bad, or in between so whether its jealousy or whatever, don't much care, I get to own it and enjoy it.

That statement is your problem right there. You think driving is a competition just like the 5.0 guy, and just like the 5.0 guy you need something to prove. And if you think that way, guess what, someone will always have a faster car than you and that will pss you off.

The problem is you.

When they point to their honda civic I shake my head, get in my car, and drive away.
that my friend, was a richard move.

Maybe that guy was all excited about seeing a V8 and you had to be a big richard head.

Honestly, what is it with these weekly self esteem issue threads from sixers?

exactly. People get excited about the "v8" - it has mystique. When people ask that, they're not trying to diss you - they just want to share in that mystique. Acting like a douche and making fun of their Civic or minivan just makes one look very shallow.

No offense but your stock v6 ain't beating any s197.

Keep dreaming.

And it's this attitude exactly that makes people bash and hate on the v6.

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.


And in all cases anyone who has ever said anything negative about my car was always driving a POS so anything they say is not valid to me.

Exactly. One of the few people who talked bad (it was about it being auto) about my car didn't and still doesn't have a car. Either way there isn't anything that could make me regret buying a v6 I got the exact car that I wanted.
