No matter what... a vette is still a chick magnet 
... unless you're a chick... in which case it becomes a dick magnet. Besides, most people can't spell camero...uh, camaro 
When I was in HS girls counted alot more than my ride, which was a close second. Of course, I wasn't lucky enough to have a vette in HS. How's that for grammar?

He also tells me Corvettes are over rated, over priced, and unwanted. I tell him his Camaro is a 17 second car but he says his Camaro in stock form can run 12's even with a six cylinder engine. And “I don’t know what I’m talking about because his uncle is a car builder and he hates Corvettes because they are over priced, overrated and people who own him are cocky.”
This upsets me that he pokes fun at my 1978 Corvette while he drives that junky Camaro. A few of my friends who are mechanically inclined and love engines hate him too because he said his six cylinder Camaro could beat my friends GTO that runs 11's. This guy thinks his Camaro with around 150,000 miles that needs suspension, engine, and interior work can kick anyone’s butt. When confronted about this he says “I’ll put a 383 V8 engine in my Camaro and I’ll kick everyone’s butt.
Of course my friends dislike him also and they tell him he’s poor because he doesn’t work. He has six cars with a total value of $700 and he brags about it.
Anyway, he really upset me so I’m going to avoid him because you just don’t do that to someone. Personally, I can’t be mean to people so I never say anything back to him. But I do tell him that he’s not a real car enthusiast because they wouldn’t talk about another person’s car like he does.
I’m at a lost at the moment but I can’t wait to get my drivers license so my friend and I can take him down to Cecil. Then we’ll race and beat him, which will show HIM.
How do you guys handle people like this???
It makes me sick
He talks about my car and doesn’t really have anything to back it up, also it’s disrespectful. ANYWAYS, what do you guys do about these people and why are they like this?
My school doesn’t have any nice cars. Last years best car was a 2000 Mustang with billet rims and this year it’s a 2000 Mustang again. There hasn’t been a Corvette or any real nice car at my school since it was built except for a 1969 Chevelle, that belonged to my friends brother.

[QUOTE=1982CorvetteDude]^ I fixed his paragraph to make it easier to read for the older folks
I resemble that remark!
Your POS 6 cyl Camaro driver is a poser.
Tell him if he'd fill his car with gas it would double the value of his car and then IGNORE HIM!

Why is it that all the young'uns here can't spell worth a damn? I admit, I have my fair share of typos but just reading the messages I get the impression that my grammar is better than some of what I read here, same goes for guys like groovyjay and others. Is the educational system really that bad over there or is it the influence of stuff like MTV?

Let this kid know that you know somebody that has a 1980 Corvette AND a 1980 Camaro Z-28. The Vette will smoke my Z. But I ENJOY both of them. Bench racing is cool but if you do race him, as stated before, do it on the track. Like the others, I'm not dissing you or your car, but please work on your grammar. It makes it hard for us simpltons to read. Enjoy your Vette and keep smiling inside, cause there ain't no way he's gonna have the PRIDE that you do in your ride.
