Do people do weird maybe jealous things to you when driving your Vette?
I bought my 2011 C6 Corvette on New Year’s Eve 2018. I live in New York so haven’t driven it too much.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...2d25bf237.jpeg I keep having interactions with people on the road that leaves me to believe they are jealous of me because I have a corvette maybe??? One of the guys at my job seems like he hates me now( I’m a Bmw tech and he used to work for Gm and loves corvettes.) I’ve had people block me in at the gas station, block me from passing on a two lane highway, I had a semi pull up into a lane that leads to a parkway just to cut me off. Anyone else experience this behavior? Kinda wish I bought a Chevy SS or maybe a G8 GXP. All I ever wanted was the most performance for my money. |
Honestly, the examples you have given sound like nothing more than you projecting negative motivations onto common, everyday events. What you describe is the same stuff that has happened to me, even when I drove a beater pickup. I can't speak for the "former" friend of yours, but that could be anything. I'm on my second C6, and have never noticed anyone show disdain. I either get ignored, or I get some form of approval from others.
Of course, my car is not bright yellow, which some people may feel means, "LOOK AT ME!" Or, maybe not... |
I live in NY too, it's the way people drive here, Corvette or not. Most NY drivers suck although I used to think NY and NJ had the worlds worst drivers until I recently spent a month down in Florida....

Yellow Vette
Maybe it’s the yellow color. Maybe it’s the fact that although I’m 33 I look 25. I can’t be the only one that has had people act strangely. Kinda makes me want to sell the car.

Yellow
As far as the yellow goes this car was cheaper then some of the other ones I could find and thought I might get it vinyl wrapped. I do like the way it looks but don’t like the flashiness of it.

Sell the car because of that? LOL. There must be something else going on here. :confused: |
The yellow looks nice especially with the black headlights. Also, I see some black wheels in your future. :cheers:

I don't mind it on mine, the more visible the better I figure, less likely to have someone pull out in front of me, unless the LEO's around. :_dupe: then it not that good

LI most of my life. You are correct. Florida has the worst drivers! They do not know what a directional signal is used for lol. The auto insurance is higher here than in NY. |

I think it’s the color, I’m sure of it! Bright yellow drives me nuts! In my blue convertible I only get smiles and waves!

On a trip out to Cali a few years ago I had a guy circling around my car on the highway filming me as I was driving down the road.
