Do not ever believe that some people who do not have one of these fine cars, is not jealous of someone who does.
The cold hard facts are that there are a lot of jealous people out there who would love to put a key down the side of it simply becuase they do not own one.
Which of course is exactly where all the myths about the vette being a middle age crisis car, and oh the vette rides horrible bla bla bla and its american made..............nonsense comes from.
9 times out of 10 the people making these ridiculous statements are driving a 1988 toyota corolla and have less ambition and a lower IQ than your average frying pan.

The only haters I usually run into are mostly Honda boys with their modded up 4 bangers (What a POS). I even had one Honda boy tell me to pull 4 of my spark plugs then he would dust me with his so called sophisticated engine.
I always ask them, if their engine is so sophisticated, then why do you need to mod up your Honda to beat a stock caviler. Their morons.....

Don't really care what others think about my car. I like it and that's what matters. You'll always find someone out there that makes stupid comments.

i never get negative comments/remarks in public, most seem to be in awe. ladies ,gents,boys and girls, truckers,babies! people have lost their breath running to tell me what they think. i love it,maybe people in the NY/NJ area have a lot less "hatin" going on
