Lots of hate

I've noticed that my car has been getting a lot of hate lately from the "Car guys" around here. We got a small muscle car group but this town is flooded with imports and ricers.

Anyways, no matter how well my car performs it never seems "up to par" or "impressive" even if it beats anything they throw at me they still call it "Slow", "overweight", "unimpressive", "ugly", you get the drift.

Hate? Jealously? who knows. Anyone else get this at all?

Heck, some ****er keyed the hell out of Kaylee two weeks ago. Do I dwell on it? No. Ok well maybe some revenge dwelling but that's it. There are always going to be people who don't like you/your car. It could be out of envy, jealously, or that they're just a dick.

If you take life too seriously you'll never get out alive.

You drive a v8. Most import cars are i4's. Just drive up next to them and let your engine rumble do all the talking. Who cares after that?

That's what I'm worried about, it's been getting that bad lately.

I think there is some animosity when our Camaro group goes to sonic, most of the vette and old school muscle do not socialize or even come over to look at our cars because they dont like the new gens...but I personally don't care i think I have a badass car and maybe theyll change their opinion since my dad has been parking his Zo6 by me

Maybe the Prius driver was in a hurry...or just drives fast. Can't take everyone who passes you or drives faster than you so seriously. Some drivers don't even notice what kind of car is next to them and are going to drive however they drive. But, then again, he could have been wanting to race you....if so....what an idiot.

But...like others have said, haters gonna hate.....
