My C6 is just as fast as yours is and it doesn't give passers-by headaches. Win-win.
Well I have to say - I agree with you about the cell phones, double parking, and high beams.

I'm afraid I'm going to keep my position on the cats. Not having cats does add a couple extra HP, sound better and save a few hundred dollars. I'm almost positive, almost - that my catless C6 isn't going to burn down our planet. Do you slap cigarettes out of peoples hands too?

IMHO, you should keep your flower picking, bell bottom wearing opinions to yourself about other people's vehicles. You can keep your car as "GREEN" as you want, it's yours. Again if you don't like the smell of mine roll your windows up...

I don't really care either way but - Your C6 is not faster than mine, just so you're aware. Try pulling your cats off, I heard it helps.

Why? All of your inane arguments apply to them, too. Don't like me talking on my phone? See another movie. Double-parking? I'm pretty sure those cripples will find another spot, someday. Don't like my high-beams? Keep your <insert stupid stereotype> opinions to yourself about other people's vehicles.

May you get stuck behind an '81 Granada with completely shot rings.

Oh-boy, I like you.. you're witty!

Like I said before, you can roll your windows up and shut your vents, or switch lanes if you had to. You don't have to sit behind my car and suck on my exhaust pipe, do you?

If I'm in a theater, I can't get away from someone talking on their phone. If I'm double parked, there is no way around it either.

So, those examples don't really apply. Find something else to complain about, cat-less cars should be low on your list.
