I use to drive mine to do estimates for peoples homes , 40% said "Nice car is this going to cost me more since you got such a nice car." ( I am now driving my gas hog van just to get more jobs and avoid that situation ) They do not know you can get a used one today for $15 K , Just goes to show most think these are $75000.00 regardless of what model Camaro you got , Most would not know the difference between the new Z-28 to the basic LS , And shows the Camaro is a Beauty !

My family is the same way... They think I am rich, cause I 'Have all this going on' But it is how you manage your money...
They are a train wreck! Emotionally and Financially!

I've had people tell me that also. I let them know that if they stopped wasting money on other things then they too could buy a car like ours. Go back to school to get ahead and get a promotion, work a second job, which is what I did to save up 50% of the car. I tell them that my Camaro cost less than their mini-van or SUV did. Our Camaro's are more visually appealing compared to the boring cars that I see on the road every day. No wonder they give us grief.

People at my college talk crap all the time about spoiled kids. But I stay humble and I actually go out of my way to help people that wouldn't even help me.
AND still my car gets keyed |

People are gonna find a reason to insult others no matter what The worst I've been told was at a fast food drive through and the guy goes "So, did daddy buy you this car?"

I have a v6 and a lot of people love it, but what really annoys me is "why didn't you get a v8...?" It's like well, better gas mileage, I don't plan on getting tickets, cheater insurance, paid less, wait, where's your Camaro again? Why are you telling me to buy a v8? Can you even afford a v6? So ya, that annoys me.
