in the summer time we have a cars and coffee every month not far from here, and its not just vettes.
I have met a lot of viper owners, and i totally disagree with them all being a**holes.
Just because you own a certain type of car doesnt make you an a**.
All car enthusiasts come in different shapes and sizes and personalities.
I for one dont judge someone by what they drive or if they make an off hand remark or two, as we all have at one time or another.
I like to actually give someone the benefit of the doubt until i get to know them better.

But yeah, thats the right attitude. I always try to analyze peoples comments and see if they are reasonable, if not forget them!

I agree, if anyone thinks a cool car makes them cool they have a lot of problems. We don't need to waste our time on them.

lets hear what he really said now...
So you think some corvette owners are snobs. Went to a cruise this afternoon.Lots of nice cars.A guy pulls in with a viper.Itwas a color a never saw before .I asked if it was custom he sad no. Then told me everyone takes pictures of it. they just pass by the corvettes. that when i stopped talking to him .I hate people like that
I'm replying for the guy with the viper. That particular guy is a vette before he is a viper guy and has owned several corvettes and still owns corvettes. What he was saying was that , as you noticed, the viper, especially because of the paint job..gets a lot of attention as there are not many out there. What his remark about corvettes was that unfortunately at a car show there are so many of them that people often walk by them because they are not as rare. If you remember he did point out the 1958 corvette and admired that car. Mainly because there aren't that many out there. Sorry if you took what he said the wrong way but he didn't mean it that way.r

Thats the best way to handle it. After I read your response to my post, I scrolled down and read the other posts after, and as you can see I honestly think you took his comment the wrong way as was pointed out by the last poster on here.I know sometimes even people I know make off handed comments and they sometimes offend me, but then when I think about it, I realize, is it going to make a difference to anyone (including myself) 100 years from now what that person did or did not say to me.
Think about it.
