    I can't drive my Vette 5 miles without a mustang owner or some other various form of a duchebag owner reving or gunning it next to me. I guess I've gotten too old cause I just want to cruise and could careless to have a pissing match. Anyone else have this issue?

    I never have this issue in my Impala. If it bothers you, I will gladly take that thorn in your side from you, pink for pink

    Why not buy a Z06 that does not grab attention? You bought the most bright color, on one of the most iconic cars. Judging by you avatar it's lowered maybe on stock bolts.

    I know what you mean. Hardly the same universe, but my very first day with my FR-S, some Civic with no two body panels matching in color tailed me across town. Lifted trucks, BMWs, even GPs seem to wanna play.

    Always in a straight line though, never on the twisties >

    Still 4X4 mode, just sitting on 19/20 so it appears that way.

    My Vette is 12 years old. I figured that was old enough. Guess not.

    Thanks for the offer, but after blowing 3 transmissions in my turbo GTP, one of which was a "race" transmission I think I'll pass.

    Ok you still bought a yellow Z06, I have yet to meet anyone in the LSx world that would not try to race a vette, even old guys like me and even older guys in their 40's and 50's who own Z06's still do. Why buy that car if you were not wanting to go fast? I buy fast cars to use them not complain about it on a forum, I currently do not have a fast car for two reasons, A.) I sold my Z28 as I felt it was a distration and B.) We are in the adoption process and shelling out $25k for that means I do not get to have a toy for now. '


    Sorry your post appears like you are just complaining about owning a vette, which is in itself just plain ridiculous.

    ^X2.

    Yeah get over it dude. You have a Vette. If you have a problem with people trying to race you just buy a Prius.
    Just because they rev at you doesn't mean you're obligated to do anything other then keep going where you're headed.

    Ignoring people is pretty easy, unless they're complete tards they'll give up after a few minutes, and you can continue just cruising. After a while, they'll remember the yellow vette doesn't like to play, and start ignoring you. Problem solved.

    Where did I say anything about not wanting or liking fast cars? As far as racing, there's a time and place for that. I'm not about to lose my career and ability to carry a gun over racing on the street. If I'm at a dragstrip that's a different story, but when I'm out just cruising it's rather annoying having people pull up next to me revving and gunning it.

    Wonder how that child feels when he is old enough to understand that you just flippantly described the adoption process as "shelling out cash" and seem to be bothered by it while it puts a damper on your ability to acquire more toys. Wow.... Perhaps you need to rethink this commitment.

    If you feel I misinterpreted you, tough. You did the same to txslow.
