High-fiving the kid was epic douche baggery IMO. What a fool. Sadly, he might think that all Vette owners are that way now.

I feel that this thread should have been locked after the first post. Not because of the OP's story, but because of all the others here chastising him for his actions.

Nice story and I liked it.
As for you others, chill out yourself.

You sell cars ooooooooooothats why the attitude the economy is giving you issues hey bro if you have a few 2003 c5 zo6 for $12,000 ill take 4 right now
