Something I find pretty interesting is bikers seemed to be forced to give you a wave as you pass. Almost like their hand flung up out of instinct. I wonder if it will be a cultural thing that catches on with the biker community. But then again you gotta figure bikers are probably the type of people that would buy one. And I mean that with all respect to bikers.

I have also been asked is this the big block or the small block?

Because mine is yellow adults also call it bumblebee.

You will also be asked how much it costs.

The jealous ones will ALWAYS find something they dont like about the car and be sure to point it out to you.

I don't even have one and this has happened.... Generally, I have found 1 person nitpicking it to death.... it's just like... WTH? At the same time there are a crowd of people around who have huge smiles and love it.

No doubt about that, I'm on another Chevy car site and some people there actually call it "Fugly" I really couldn't belive it, there we are on a Chevy site and the bashing by some seems endless. I'm kind of the midset if you don't something postive to say, say nothing. If you REALLY feel the need to express your dislike about something it lends a little more credibility to thoughts if you don't use words like "Fugly" But speak intelligently about your feelings and offer opinions about what exactly you don't like.

I don't like a lot of cars but I would never tell the owners it's "Fugly" People like different things, it's what makes life and different people interesting.

But I remember the first time I did it on my 4th GEN, I tried to keep my cool because I had a hot girl in my car, but I couldn't hold it back and I got so mad got out of the car and when I saw the damge I seriously started to cry (well, tears in my eyes)....fifteen years later I'm still with the hot girl and we've been married thirteen years this September.

Chicks dig it when guys cry, it shows them we are sensitive.

How dare you?!?!

I posted this before but will post again :"Chuck Norris asked 'what ever happened to the Camaro?' GM came up with the concept Camaro out of fear of getting roundhouse kicked to the face." sorry mikel and benjaminkeith

To add to the list:

People have asked me, "Are you going to get the IROC version?"

Dude, it isnt the 90's anymore...
