Why do people keep buying a fancy muscle car and then complain about the attention that they were craving to begin with?

Apparently you should move from AZ because it obvoisly has a high rate of this if you don't like it!
I am looking forward of leaving AZ but not because of the drivers.
BTW I did not buy a muscle car to crave attention... I am not that desperate.
I wanted something that looks nice and was affordable.
The SS 2 just so happened to fit my bill.
Obviously

I won't be coy or make false statements I bought my car to pwn sti's and wrx's! They're a disease in my town and honestly I could have picked another boosted faster car but I don't like the streetability or lack thereof of high power boosted cars, the camaro has power everywhere no need to wait for it :-P on a side note I agree with an old post that said that they're just trying to have fun, a lot of them just want to see how fast it is they know they're not going to win :-P Anyone who gets on here and says it doesn't make them feel good when they get attention is full of $&it!! Lol

....that's funny. OK...a saying. Fun is what you make of it. It's better to feel good than to look good behind the wheel of a ZL1. This is a car to be driven.

Almost like if it is an accomplishment when they pass you.

I think I will tint my windows black....maybe that will help?
The American Dream favors the under dog and you're on the road in a Camaro. I'm not saying you didn't work hard to earn it, but you have to expect to be treated a certain way if you look a certain way (namely: fast).

I just brush it off and take it as a compliment, but it can be annoying at times. Our cars are nice, but there are some definitely wayyy more expensive toys riding around the streets around here! lol it's not surprising to walk around my office park and see aston martins, porsche gt3's, rolls royce, ferrari, or bentley! ahhaha i love scottsdale!
Way too many Lambos and such in the Phoenix area. Lots of money being made off of running drugs here. Usually, it's some idiot in a pick-up or beat up van who tries to race me or cut me off. Since mine looks like Bumble Bee, the ricers just sit and stare. Get caught flat footed at the light, and I just motor away without even hitting the gas.
