Have any of you seen the new Maserati Spyder? For the past two days I have seen the same one while I head to work and we've sat side-by-side at the stoplight a few times - that car is just as big/small as our cars. It was a gorgeous blue and the sound from the exhaust lets me know its a V8 already - just purred when he sat at the light!

But I think I need to teach the man driving some manners - I held my thumb up to tell him "nice car" and he just turned away from me... Even after I made eye contact with him. Prude... or maybe that is snob? Or maybe he thinks acknowledging me is looking down his nose?

 

Same Game, different League. I would attribute his reaction to Snob Factor. How big was this guy's head?

 

Looked a little teeny to me... maybe he gets his masculinity from his car? LOL

 

lol...definitely snob factor!

 

the guy was probably gay and thought you were hitting on him?!?!?

 

lol saw one as well... dude had his buddy sitting sideways in it with some spiffy frames on looking if anyone was checking them out in it... it has to be very stressful to drive a car you have to worry about if people stare at you or not..

presonally, other than the name, its not that impressive..

 

I used to drive Maserati Spyders all the time at my old job. Personally I think they're junk except for the GranSport... But they do look nice... Anyone that owns a nice car and doesn't acknowledge a girl in another sports car is a snob.

 

Well, welcome to owning a car that does not have a high snob factor...

But I do love how our cars look so expensive and people think they are a rich man's car... although, when you read the stats, the average median income for owners of our cars sure look like we ARE rich! Mid $70's for coupes and mid $90's for Roadsters.
