It is the price we all pay.. but I do have fun once in a while... I will be on the way to work they will start their "stuff" and I will roll down my tinted window for them to see me in uniform. The normal reaction is that they take a double take.. their head snaps forward and they turn on a blinker and turn... Funny stuff!

I used to get quite a few of the fartcans doing the same thing. A lot of these guys around here hang around with my son and they know who I am. (small town) If I get one of these clowns nudging me, I usually make them look as stupid as they really are. THEN I tell my son about it and if he knows the guy, the rest of them tease him.

Becasue they are 16 and you are driving a Corvette.

Why would you bother posting this, honestly?

I personally take it as a compliment. And no, i usually do not even give them the time of day. I was a punk teenager once, but even then i was running a blown 5.0 with about 600 ponies to the wheels.

Today is much different. Kids today have more than ever. More, except when it comes to respect for themselves and others.
