I don't mind because most of those people are kids. Would you rather hear Bumblebee or "hey, look at that piece of crap Camaro?"

Ok, I'm a nerd and don't get out much, I admit that. A buddy of mine was making "Transformer" references to my car, and I had no clue what he meant. Then I watched the movie....AHHHH

I could see it with a yellow Camaro, even if it didn't have the black stripes... but a black one is a bit odd I think you nailed it down though, jealousy on their part.

You're right! I had no idea that the color was yellow until I saw the movie, but I guess because it was a Camaro, he figured, close enough. [unless he was color blind]

That right there is cool...I like it when the kids wave and say things. I remember when I was young and fell in love with the 68 Camaro. The dream began then and if some kid gets inspired by seeing my car, thats awesome.

Yup, but I hate it when someone (not a kid) asks "How fast does it go?"

How the F*** do you answer that one?

Warp speed is what I've told a couple of teen aged boys.

You could also demonstrate your wheel trick to show them how fast the wheels spin.
