My Neighbor across the street used to be interested in my cars but since I have switched them so much he is a bit jealous. Ive been through several nice vehicles... C5 convertible, Jeep SRT, C6 Convertible, Mercedes c63 AMG, BMW M% and now back to a C7 Convertible. Needless to say he used to take interest now he makes pretend he dosent see my car, wont ask me about it like he used to with my other cars. Regardless, who cares... I love cars and always will. He can enjoy his Dodge Ram pick-up. My other neighbor has a cobra and its nasty he's great about talking shop with me.

Sounds pretty much like my county here. My next move will be out of state, and Texas is one of the places I have been looking at, also Idaho and Arizona.

Some like it. Some are indifferent.

My neighbors all love it, the few times since I bought it anyyime I pull it out someone stops by to ask about it. Besides one neighbor three doors down, I am the only car guy in my neighborhood. Mostly SUV's and family sedans and a fair share of Jeep Wranglers in my subdivision.

One neighbor, Hummer guy has a A1 gas, A1 Diesel and 2 H2's just loves it, another really likes it. Most seem indifferent, except one guy. At block parties he always gives me crap about must be nice to be able to blow that kind of money on a car.

Well, the last party I shut him up, as he said it again, and my reply was your 16 Denali Crew Cab Dually with the Duramax was about 4K more than my car....

I've lived in my home for 8 years and I don't know any of my neighbors. That's the way I like it.

I do know a member who lives a block away. He has a C7 too He heard my car after I had it S/C installed as the BOV is completly obnoxious

I've got funny neighbors, They all like the the cars (which I love the sound of) and the bagpipes that Mr.owc6 plays. Go figure.

They are all sufficiently distant that they both sound musical.
