If you come up to me out of nowhere and start asking questions including "How much did you pay for that?" I'm going to be an asshole to you too. Have some common courtesy. :nonono:

So wait, you think people owe you an explanation as to why they don't want to talk to you?

World revolve around you much?

Bottom line - you weren't there. He wasn't really annoyed with my presence. It was more of him trying to talk down to me and act like he's better for some reason (hence the price he said he paid for his c6z).

Was it a car show? Did he have his hood opened? Was he out there talking to other people about his car?

Most likely he was better. He doesn't going around asking stupid questions to random people in a parking lot about a car.

Wow, what a dumb assumption.

Stupid questions? I only asked if he had done anything exhaust-wise and even complimented him on it. Also, he was by himself.

That was actually the last thing I said. If you would have read my entire first post I did have some common courtesy - "How much did you give for it if you don't mind me asking? I'm in the market for one."

Yet, you clearly stated that you aren't in your post.

Honestly, if you grow up and stop being insecure then these things won't become problems in your life anymore. :beer:

It's not a matter of me being insecure of things like this. Honestly, I chuckled it off when I was walking away. Some people I just don't understand, I guess.

I didn't make this thread to be talked down to. No hard feelings either, though. No two people will agree on every matter. People post things all the time on SVTP that they just want to chat about and get other member's opinions on. How is this any different?

:lol:

Alright, we'll I'm sorry he talked down to you like that. All people who drive more expensive cars than you are like that.

Satisfied, now?

Yeah I was kind of like that this one time when this kid saw me driving my Terminator and wanted to come talk to be about it, and then started talking about how awesome his Escort ZX2 was, and how he love street racing like it a religion and how he beat the shit out of a built 5.0 Foxbody because his FWD car hooks up much better with all the weight over the frontend, but then the Mustang caught him and flew past him when his non-hooking, no weight transferring Foxbody finally found traction.

See OP it gets to the point where people with lesser cars want to brag about what they have to someone, and they might not be trying to be a dick, but it's just aggravating to have to always listen.

I snapped on this older guy the other day because he followed me into a gas station like he was there to rob the place, and he gets in my face and starts saying stuff like "hey that's a Lightning right? Is it fast? That thing will fly right? It's a real Lightning right? Those things are suppose to fly. Is it fast? It'll fly right? and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." I'm thinking is this guy trying to be cool with me or is he trying to be funny? I don't like for other men to get 6-8" from my face, look me straight in the eyes, and asking me a bunch of stupid questions over and over with a loud tone. Then he started telling me about his old pre-04 King Ranch. It just got to the point where it's like look dude you just need to leave me the **** alone because you're acting like a skanky meth-head piece of white trash who's ****ed up at the moment, which seeing how we were in Gaston he probably was. When you're talking to someone, and especially someone you don't know you need to not occupy their space. A good arms length is a nice distance to have in between two people. You sure don't need to try and get up in someones grill.

I like how the DB op went up to a random guy, who may have had a bad day and was just trying to get in the store and out and you started pestering him about how much he paid for his car and then when the guy doesn't chat you up and have the conversation you were personally looking for then it bothers you so much that you go online and talk about how he's a dick and how stupid he is for buying his car?

Grow up, loser.

The guy sounds like my brother. He has an M3. It never sees redline, and he has no idea how much power it makes. He likes the looks, brakes and interior. Holds its resale better as well. I don't hold it against him.

Z06 doesn't specifically let you know what model Vette Z06 you're talking about. It could be a C5Z for all anyone else knows. Saying C6Z lets you know specifically that you're talking about a C6 Z06.

I know 2 guys that own zo6's and that is what they call them. I never heard anyone say they have a c6z so thought maybe it was something different. I don't have much interest in vette's so I don't keep up on what they call them. I have seen some zr1's and know a person that owns one and yes they are pretty fast but I would rather have a viper for that money.

Thanks for the reply

There is a girl at my workplace and she owns a plain jane Dodge Charger with a Hemi and says that it is faster than my Cobra because everyone knows that Hemi's are the fastest thing on the road..Her entire family is into Dodge and they all feel that Ford only produces junk...I just smile when she down talks my Cobra to other coworker's....

Sounds like some people on this site:lol1:
