labeling folks based on the car they drive is rarely fair to the individual owner. Even if there's a generalized reputation that comes with some certain brand image, you shouldn't base judgment on a person based on the car they drive, unless that car is a Prius.

Whatever happened to the days of just appreciating other beautifully engineered vehicles? I feel like the people who think you are trying to prove something with your car, are the ones who are trying to do so with theirs. I went to a meet this weekend where there were Lambo's, Mazerati's, Ferrari's, Ford GT's and all sorts of other 6 figure + cars. The Z costs about 1/6 of some of the rides and people who owned the high end exotics still wanted to check out the Z and appreciated it for what it was. They could have been like "who is this kid pulling up in a yellow $30k sports car think he is parking next to me Lambo?" But instead, I pulled into a group of people taking pictures of the car!

Why can't everyone have that sort of mutual respect?
