I was 20 had a new 2000 Chevy z71 I think it was 2 months old, went to my now wife's hs graduation and one of her friends dad wouldnt stop talking crap. Pure jealousy, what little he knew was that I worked 80+ hours a wk for 2 summers ad about 30 hours a wk durin college and saved up and paid cash. It helped I didn't have many bills and lived at home.

That's kind of the situation I'm in.
It's just jealousy and hatred, and it gets really old.

After awhile it does get under your skin and Unforntually this dbag and his friend got attitude bc OP was tired of jealous peoples crap.

I can totally relate to you OP.

Agree 100%

If someone wants to be an ass and call you out on something that has NOTHING to do with them, then you are well within your right to tell them to f%ck off.

I don't know where this mentality where you should just tuck your tail and slink away from your problems comes from but it's sad. You have a right and a personal responsibility to defend yourself, from physical AND verbal attacks.

Good job OP.

But that's just me, and I'm 29.

For sure.
I'll say it again.
I didn't ask for support or advice.
I asked if it happens to other owners around my age.
That's cool how you would handle the situation.
That's not what I did. It's just a matter of preference.

Social media has added so much value to our lives.

I remember the days when car forums were used for actual car discussion and not Dear Diary threads where everyone preaches about how they are Ghandi and we can argue about how to act like adults.

I know but how many " will a tune void my warranty" threads can we read before we all go nuts?

That reminds me, what happened to our "mod of the day" thread for today?

I always enjoy those.

Dear Diary

Even though I am in my late 40's I would have said "listen here dude, that is 217 CI under the hood putting out 312 HP(in my case 323 HP), and even though it is a V6, bet it looks better and outrun what you pulled up in!" Provided I seen what they actually pulled up in.

The only thing that got me and I just laughed was when I took mine to my first car show last June and over heard a couple teenagers talking to each and said if I was buying one I would by the V8 and not waste time with the V6, or something on those lines. I just chuckled to myself and thought, you had better grow up first, get a job and find out how hard it is to afford something in this day and age and not just handed to you on a platter young man. I actually wanted to tell them that but thought it was better just to keep my mouth shut instead.

I think that it is more people trying to HELP by sharing WISDOM, rather than HATE.... comrade
