Why even worry about what the guy said - you know what the truth is. Maybe next time find a different shop.

I wouldn't have been pissed...honestly, it would have inspired me to go out there and show them what they overlooked, and would have been proud to.
The tire burning thing was the cherry on top..

I don't understand why you think the car you drive has anything to do with the repect you get or expect to get at a shop.
I also don't understand why the guy's comments were so bad. A real Callaway is pretty easy to spot with the hood down.
I also wonder why you call the guy a "monkey". Is it due to the physical nature of his job, and your perception that he is beneath you, or was this a racial thing?
I would have called the cops on you, but I don't know if public display of A$$hattedness is a crime.
I am sure, excessive display of speed, reckless driving, and vandalism to a public roadway are though.
You're the reason the VW guys flip us off.

"I am women hear me roar in numbers to big to ignore"
To the poster, you remind me of me, overly sensitive perhaps ?
Heck if you lost your cool that bad and everyone seemed coo-coo to you, maybe you should have did a hugh burn out with the smoke billowing into thier open doors. Then what ?
Peace bro.,

and I agree with Darwindog, if you bought a Vette to get respect, you've come to the wrong forum for help.

this is great,
dont take youreself so seriously man!
Im sure the entire shop was rolling after you lit up the tires.
Usually THEY will do that to youre car if they dont like you.
You really showed them who was boss....... by paying them, and then spinning youre tires. Did you cry after the burnout was over?
Sounds like you have some deep down issues with the service industy.

Wow thanks for perpetuating the Corvette stereotype. Smoking the tires outside the shop to show them? Sounds like you care a little too much what this "monkey" thinks. Ditch the sticker too... I had one on my windshield too. On my mid-80s two door GM back in high school.
