Do you ever get the stink eye?
I was at my brothers place yesterday for a family gathering. My nephew had some friends over for his birthday,when they saw the wife and I pull up .....they got all giddy and circled us and were checking out the car...
We all went in, but I was still being barraged with questions. After a couple hours my neice asked for a ride with the top off...so I obliged...
Well,one ride turned into four( I was manually shifting so I could let the pipes sing)There is about a 1/4 mile downhill straight road to his house where they really POP!
Well, after the second or third trip,a couple of the neighbors were out front with their kids walking on the sidewalk,...and then it happened...
THE STINK EYE!!!!
You would think I was racing the way they looked at me...like I was trying to run down one of their kids or something( I have a few of my own...so I am all about safety)
Anyway, the last trip around...I just
Anyone have any similar stories?

I'm also 20 yrs. old and I ALWAYS get the stink eye from middle-aged men in mustangs and camaros, envy is a stinky calonge. Why cant people just be happy for others? 
It's pathetic really. 
So anytime i see it I floor it and speed off just to rub it in.
