Any sports car I've owned I've gotten a lot of hate. It doesnt matter what it's been. People look at sports cars with hate and envy because as the years progress. It gets harder to own one. The enthusiast landscape gets smaller. People make concessions and settle for sporty. I remember when I first bought my Camaro. I was at the walmart parking lot and I opened the passenger door to throw out some trash I had in the car. I flipped the backseat and took out a bag. Then I walked to the trash and threw the stuff out. Went inside to buy my neighbor's son a christmas gift and when I came out... there was ketchup all over my car. All cuz I spent a whole 20 seconds on the passenger side of my car.
When I got the Z people were always trying to tell me about all the cars that were faster. I replied by saying none of the cars you mention handle like mine and most people that own cars can drive them like I can. And I always put my money where my mouth was... so people learned to respect the Z.
Mustang's fly me by no matter what I've driven. But now that I'm in a camaro. I get fly bys 10 times a day. Its fvckin annoying. Mustang owners are the biggest douche bags. The funny part though is... they do the fly bys right before making a turn. They know better than to stay on a str8 with me. But anyway... point is...

Owning a sports car is amazing if you focus on why you bought a sports car in the first place!! The social aspect of ownership is tedious. That's why I prefer just being somewhat of a loner when it comes to car culture. You and a friend can both have cars. He crashes, it changes his outlook. He chooses not to have another sports cars then over time your friend envies you.

1st world problems. Totally stupid.
