Default Had a C7 owner give me the stink eye lol

So i was at BJ's yesterday, it's like Costco. After i got done shopping i saw that there was a Cyber Gray C7 a few rows down from my car so i decided to drive over and parked in front of it. It was at the opposite end of the store where not many people park but it was still in the first parking spot closest to the store. There was a truck parked right by it as well as a couple cars a few spots down so it's not like it was all by itself.

So i get out and look over it for maybe a minute because i didn't want to look too odd checking someones car out and then got back in my car, which was not my corvette btw. My wife then started texting me and then someone called me so i was just sitting there in my car for a few extra minutes. Well then the owner comes out and before he gets in his car he just stares right at me before he opens up his door for a good 15 seconds or so. Then he gets in his car and continues to stare right at me for about another minute. lol I'm like WTF is this guys problem??? hahaha If i wasn't on the phone i would of gotten out of the car as soon as he got to his car and complimented him on it. But i was glad i didn't now.
Then as he drives off i didn't want to act like i was interested in the car but still took a glance and he was still looking at me and was saying something, of course i couldn't understand what he was saying.

What a weirdo though. So if Mr. Cyber Gray non Z-51 owner in Royal Palm Beach is on here i just wanted to let you know that you've got issues.
I've never experienced anything like that before...

BTW no he didn't see me checking out his car, which i could then understand that he might give me the stink eye. I was in my car for a good 3-4 minutes on the phone before he came out.

I live in Texas so it wasn't me, but i can tell you that if it is anybody on this forum, he probably had you on video the whole time and watching you on his cell. Then he came out and saw you hanging out on the phone, thinking you were up to something. lol Believe it or not, many people have video cameras in their C7's and monitor it. Not saying that is what happened, but i would bet it was something like that. He probably didn't post the sign "smile you are on camera"..

Really??? I didn't know they had those?
Well you might be right then. That'd explain it. But to be honest all i did was walked around the car one time and then got back in my car. Like i said i didn't spend much time checking it out since the owner wasn't around.

Owning a C7 does not necessarily equate to being a friendly person... neither does C6 ownership, Porsche ownership, Kia ownership... you get the idea. Not sure why it is relevant that they owned a C7... what if it was a Porsche?

It equates to nothing... that was my point. You will find unfriendly people owning all car brands. Nothing special that there is an unfriendly C7 owner and nothing really to be notable.

Door dings, door break-ins, getting keyed, etc is all available about 3/4 of the car.
