Just get used to it, because when your my age you will hear the other end of it. Oh, does your son know you took his car?

Never argue with a idiot , They have so much more practice then you.

Only happened twice .

The funniest one was some 12 year old kid sitting on a bike who yelled "your car sucks"as I was stopped at a traffic light.

I started to laugh,most kids love it.

It stopped looking like a Charger when Dodge made it a 4 door sedan.

"Is it a V8?" is the only thing I get really, it seems to be every guys first question. Now I just say "No just a little V6..." (and I laugh inside)

If it seems like a car guy I'll tell him its a V6 with a couple turbochargers. Which usually sparks up a conversation lol

Everyone knows that vette drivers have small dicks.

If my parents ever heard me say something like that to an adult, or anyone really when I was 12, I'd be eating through a straw until I could get a job to buy new teeth. Kids seem to have no respect now, and I'm only 32, so not a, "Back in my day" situation. Times have changed.

I hear people yelling stuff like "your car is slow" or "mustangs are faster" all the time - usually kids on street corners or hanging out of their friends cars window. I dont drive like an idiot and mind my own business, not sure why people feel the need to shout things at me lol.

We don't have kids hanging out on the corner or hanging out of windows much. Maybe that is why I never hear this stuff. My nephew does try to talk trash occasionally, but he is not very good at it and I'm sure it's only in retaliation for the crap I give him about what he does not know about a car being a "trained mechanic."

I have been told the same thing. So far no one has said anything negative about my car or me where I could hear them, but I take criticism well. I don't care what people think of me or my car. Everyone has a right to their own opinion.

Only downside is if I break down or run out of gas and need a ride, no body will pick me up. I just drive a good vehicle to solve that problem.

1. Why did you get a V6? For that kind of money you should have gotten a V8. The reply was well, when you buy a Camaro, then you can get a V8. Conversation ended.

2. Lucky you.

3. Why didn't you get a convertible? (I live in Wisconsin, the weather changes daily around here, today is 42 degrees.

The best response would be I'm glad you finally got the car you wanted. I'm happy for you!

Plasti-Dip does suck but I would never throw anything because of it, you should have kicked that guys ass...
