I was kind of embarrassed when we walked out and I see him get into an early 90's Century.

I don't get why you're upset by his opinion, and why you think he needs to get a 69 z-28 to validate his opinion.

He doesn't like the new Camaros. So? Who gives a fig. Having an old pickup doesn't change his opinion, nor does it invalidate it.

Why get all beat up because of someone's opinion.

I'm always polite, though I do thank them for taking one for the team in allowing me to purchase the balance of the fuel they don't use at the pump...often.
That was awesome.

I have 45th RS
Not to be a hater, but isn't the retort stating the obvious? Since when do people buy what they don't like?

Lots of people buy what's "popular" so that they "fit in"

I assumed she was making a reference to that.

Ahh. It is sad though that we have to even justify our purchases.

I think that if someone is snarky, then no matter what you say, they're not going to respect you. The only way to get respect from people like this, is to be so far above them class-wise, that there's no room for ambiguity on the matter.

Today going through the drive through to get lunch the cashier says "man I love your car" then turns around to get me my change and turns back to me and says " I don't think you understand I REALLY LOVE YOUR CAR! then another girl behind her asked if she could take a picture of it. Of course I said yes and she took the picture.

I wonder what they would have thought if they could see the car at night with the ABL all lit up or with the hood up and the engine all dressed up. Don't get me wrong I still have a lot to do but I get al ot of compliments and so far nobody has said anything negative to me.

While it was parked curbside at the college my son attends I was leaning against a pole a few feet away. A boy and a girl are walking up the sidewalk and as they get to my car she stops and begins to stare.

Her: what is that...it's pretty..
Him: It's a Camaro.. it's Chevy's version of the Mustang..just not as nice..
Her: I like it..
Him: They are junk..
Her : I have never seen one before..
Him: That's because they just came out..
Her: Then how do you know they are junk..
Him: They are
Her: Did your dad get your Mustang fixed yet
Him: Not yet
Her: Why not
Him: The parts didn't come in yet
Her : Whats wrong with it again
Him: (as they walk away) I not gonna bother telling you because you wouldn't understand anyway
Her: Your mean

That made my day..

Some guy in a rusted out Lexus told me I was an idiot for driving a gas hog Camaro. First he didn't know that it wasn't my Daily Driver. Second when it was I didn't care. Thirdly as I pointed out, I wasn't the guy driving the rusted Lexus.
