One time I overheard this guy say "f*#k those Camaros" because he was bragging about his trailblazer SS and his confused pals thought he was talking about my car sitting there in the parking lot. I could care less and they never found out who owned the car.

He sure isn't gonna be f*#king my Camaro anyway, she's not that easy.

Coming from a Honda I will say I am not used to it so it will usually catch me off guard. The toll booth guy caught me really off guard. Used to hearing whatever the toll amount is lol

Only people who give me shit are my brother (drives a 2013 5.0) and my friend because he wants me to turbo or supercharge it already so not exactly trash talk from them but I'm waiting till someone starts bad mouthing my car. I'll laugh at them.

Went to Auto Zone the other day with the top down and pulled in next to a old Honda with the hood up. The guy glanced over and did a double take then as I was walking in he asked if I would trade even for his Honda. When I said "I don't think so", he acted like I insulted him....

Let me start with my 2010 SS is still a stock Original Transformer Edition ordered in 2009. CTH code in the trunk.
These guys(2) walk up to me while getting gas and state, "You don't deserve that car?" I'm thinking, I don't speed, brag, it's a stock radio and I don't offend(LS3 rev engine). I didn't say anything and just listened and watched in astonishment.
The wife hears them and looking puzzled.
One guy states he hates me and I should not be allowed to own my camaro. They get back in their truck and drive away. WOW, what the*&^&*^ did I do. oh yeah, I'm not in Miami but in the middle of the state.
This does not happen to you guys.

When I first got my car and lived in a house with just a two car garage, I had to park my car in the drive for a few weeks because I was remodeling. Some wannabee ganstas spray painted it the night of Thanksgiving. My wife always shops on Black Friday so I caught it still wet and used some lacquer thinner to clean it up so no harm was done. However, when the wannabees walked by the house on another day, my wife heard them talking about how the "cracka don't deserve a car like that." Don't ask my how they knew my name, but that is how I found out who did it, at least I assume it was them. They were squatting in a foreclosed house on another block. So we called the cops every time we saw them in there as did the neighbors and before you knew it the cops caught them doing something and they disappeared from this neighborhood.

Hilarious, first of all. Second, I can't help feeling like if you can't afford a place to live, maybe you should be spending what little money you do scrape together on food rather than spray paint for vandalism. Prolly didn't buy the paint did they?

I have gotten both love and hate but love by far and away more often.

"I love your car man." -some young fellas in the mall parking lot.

"Dude, your car is so sick." -the cart guy in the Wegman's parking lot. "What is it?" he asks. "A Camaro!" "It's AWESOME!" "Thanks man."

"That was a nice bat mobile ya drove away in the other day, Mike!" -Wedding coordinator.

The best was my dad though. I just got it and drove it to my little brother's baby shower so my whole family was there. Me and Pop, an avid muscle car guy, walk out to it together. He stands there staring at it without saying a word for every bit of 2 minutes. Without looking away he sticks his hand out. I take it and give it a hardy shake. Finally he looks at me and says, "I want the KEYS, son!!" LOL!!!!
