One of the things I have noticed at a lot of the car shows is the "muscle car" mentality. They accept the Prowler because of its retro-rod look and of course the Corvette and Mustang because they are and have been members of the group forever.

I was getting dissed pretty bad and had several laughing til we compared 0-60 times and quarter miles. Then their taunting turned to disbelief and "no way". I told them to look it up, and they just generally walked away and left me alone.

A good part is obviously envy. In one show the others complained about the appearance of my car they said it looked too nice because it was essentially new. Never mind the fact that I had one of the least expensive cars there, because of all the money spent on rebuilding and customizing their rides.

I try not to let it bother me because when the public is looking at the cars, I always get the head nods and "nice ride" from them. The fact that I went home with trophies probably irked them a bit as well.
