I've had customers walk into my store after seeing me pull up in my Hummer and make comments, one guy even walked out saying he wouldn't shop somewhere that they supported Hummer. I drive an H3 (pre-engine upgrade), not the H2.

I can't wait to hear what people are going to say when the Camaro arrives. I've already prepared for the gas station confrontations. If it is confirmed the 29mpg highway for the LT, that's 3mpg better than the Lexus Rx Hybrid gets, and there are hundreds of those things around here.

With huge department store trends like CostCo, Wal-Mart, ...., so many small business owners are having to compete with huge buying power. Everyone wants to save so they can brag about their great deal. Even on this site people are looking for below MSRP and very angry if they overpaid. As a small business owner, if you drive a nice car, it's only natural your customers are going to feel like you have gouged them in some way as to make them over pay.
