One time I am wiping the bugs off the front of my car when a fella walks up to me and says "hey buddy how come you didn't get an old Camaro" I say "because I wanted this Camaro" to which he replies "everybody has one of these Camaro. I must have seen 5 Camaro's that look exactly like yours on the way here today".

Another time I see a kid across a show field point to my car and sprint a good 50 yards across the field with his friends. He comes right up to the front of the car, looks at his friends with disappointment on his face and says "sorry guys...... it's only an SS, my bad."

Had a Corvette elitest come over and ask me about my car. he goes "hey have you ever drove your car back and forth to work". I respond "yeah I drive it whenever I can" he lowers his head into one of this hands wipes his face and says "thats just a god damn shame son.... a god damn shame"

all in all I get this garbage all the time and I was wondering what kind of back-handed compliments any of you guys have heard about your car.
WOW, you got a tough crowd there man. I can't recall ever hearing anything negative said about my car. People are pretty friendly here in SC. Now if the football team is losing, that's a whole nother story.

I like Pitt. Downtown is really cool. Had a good time cycling there and gambling. Presque Isle State Park is really nice.

Had a guy at a gas station say car sounds mean but can you shift it it? I was like its an auto. He was like that sucks...... As he got into his Honda accord smh

But other than that there's negativity at the track but my car holds it's own so I don't care.

But normally it's everyone coming up asking me about it.

Still I can't get over little kids that poke there dad and point at my car smiling and giving me thumbs up. If possible I usually give em a little show lol

Absolutely! I had a kid wreck his bike once trying to watch me go past. poor kid hit his buddy next to him and they both tumbled over.

Yeah but as I pointed out.... I have an SS and I get the "is that a ZL1" more then I thought I would. If you dont have the absolute most expensive car out there you will always get that.

Nobody has ever said a negative word to me about mine.

Nothing but compliments and jealousy.

I get "you bought a v6!?" All the time and my response always is just "yup" and when they try to make a comment about my manhood or the crime I've committed I always have two responses depending on some factors but usually the first is "college chicks have no clue what a v6 or v8 are", or I go with the "it's ok when you decide to buy a car ill make sure I go with you so I approve of your decision"

Most people drive toyota sedans, what can they really say?

Average guy - That's not a SS?
Me - Oh where's your?
Average guy - That's my Corolla over there.
Me - Nice.
