Somebody with a Corvette who eats at Mc Donalds is a tad too sensitive about not getting the "universal approval" he paid for and got a little butt hurt from someone he obviously feels superior to....truth.

Nope, I sure don't eat in my car. I just grabbed the sandwich and ate it when I got home. I'll drink water in my car, but constantly put the cap back on the bottle.

Best to ignore the comment, you probably have more to loose than he does if it escalates !!

I think there's a big difference between looking for "univeral approval" and being subjected to an "unprovoked dumb ***" comment.

My original post was only meant as a humorous comment on some guys bizarre behavior. I wasn't looking for any kind of sympathy, reparations, or suggestions on how I can get enact my revenge. A few of you read WAY too much into other people's threads. If you believe this forum is ONLY here to discuss brakes, headers, new model sightings, and Corvette waves...then I apologize for apparently forcing you to read something different. In my defense, I did put it under "General Discussion".

But if you want to go ahead and think I'm an idiot, that's fine. Now that we both feel exactly the same way about each other, I'm sure we can become great friends! :-)

If it was a C7, the statement would probably have been closer to true. However, with the euro inspired front bumperettes, running him down would have put him on your hood.

That's correct. Corvette drivers are special.

That's also correct.

well he might be right, corsa? cam? or even a open NPP? bone stock dosnt sound much better than a prius.

Who cares.... besides... if you have owned a Corvette for any length of time you probably have already been a victim of Vette Envy...

While standing in line at some store a while ago, some guy, having seen me get out of my Vette, commented that he had a buddy whose Mustang something or the other could beat my car. I looked at him and simply said, "That's nice" whereupon he continued walking out of the store and got into his '80's Toyota something.

Why let those kinds of comments raise your blood pressure? What's the point in even responding?

He probably had a Mustang and considered it competition to the Vette when in reality it's on par with a Camaro.

Yesterday I was in the ATM line at the bank, and the car in the next lane blew his horn and asked me to roll down my window. He just wanted to ask what year the car was. Our cars receive a lot of attention, be it positive or negative.

BTW ... the expression is "tongue IN cheek". Just one of my pet peeves. Once saw someone post in another forum "another words", meaning "in other words". Not sure if he was joking or not.

I know, I was waiting for some horrible bike-scratches Corvette story.

The guy on the bike - and anyone defending him here - is likely an Obama voter.
