I did something like that to my last boss who enjoyed making his employees miserable, he was probably one of the worst people I've ever worked for, the stickers on his car always showing up was one of many buttons on him that got pushed and eventually he surrendered and quit. I like to take the proactive approach to dealing with such people in the work place. Know what I mean? |

"Ostensibly", mine belongs to the wife. A simple, "it belongs to her" seems to work for me.

these cars bring a lot of jealousy. I'm 22 with an SS and you can only imagine how people treat me now. At gas stations, pulled up next to stop lights, etc. you can just tell they think i'm a spoiled brat. even a few of my friends just straight up act differently towards me now.
thing is, i have every dime i got locked up in this thing, still making the payments for a long time, and will be living at home for a long while. I know what I got myself into, but I stick by my decision. I love the car and won't ever lose it.

I'm sure there is a bit of jealousy in there, but are you sure they're not just ribbing you. As a man, the best compliment you can give to another man, is to actually make fun of them. (especially when around females) The guys I work with, that's pretty much how we talk to each other unless it has something to do with work. So of course, even though mine is a V8, they still try to make fun of it. That is mostly my doing though, because when one of my coworkers tried to "race" me in his windstarr, I let him just walk away from me. So, that's pretty much all I hear now. There are two other Chevy guys that I work with, both have given me multiple compliments on my car, and yet they still continue to make fun of it / me. And just to be fair, I make fun of everyone elses vehicles also. (except the guy with the brand new sierra 4x4 and the guy with od school C/K) Hell I even make fun of my boss who just bought a '13 Silverado 2500 LTZ Z71 4x4, and that thing is a beast.

Truth be told, I like the current style better, but that is one of the things I make fun of him for, also because its a diesel and that's the only difference between his new truck and his '11

Haven't had any jealous co-workers but my "best friend" loves to keep referring to mine as a "base"model to anyone he mentions it to (he also bashes my new home I just had custom built while he's recently been evicted from his last place and had to move into a roach infested, drafty rental built in the 50s) I know he does it out of jealousy for several reasons- one being me just saying one day that I was gonna trade my Accord in on a Camaro-and did it right then cuz i could and i didnt get stupid payment-wise like he did. My payment only went up $30.00 a month from what I was paying on the Accord. Another reason is his a$$ is paying $900.00 (not exaggerating) a month on a NISSAN Murano that he's already behind on and is on the verge of being repossessed. That leaves him with his early 90s Olsmobile that he inherited from his grandpappy and has been smashed to hell by baseball sized hail(body panels literally have holes right through it). So I just let him say what he wants. A couple of times when I've gone to pick him up for lunch or whatever, I've heard him mutter to my car "hey baby!".... But it's just a "base" model he reminds me several times through out the day. What sold me on the car wasn't necessarily performance but it's appearance- something about that wide puffed up stance that spoke to me-and the first time I sat in one, the quality of the interior materials blew that Honda away... I'm still 100% satisfied with my decision in my "base" 2LS V6. May just be a V6 but I still get plenty of nods/attention/haters/gawkers as I cruise around town in it. I work at the Air Force Base here in OKC and this past Friday I was stopped at the gate by the military guard for a random vehicle inspection- he opened up my hood and asked if it was a V8, I said no and patiently waited for the bashing to begin- he just said "damn- that's a NICE engine for a 6!!"
