I am not saying that their reactions would be correct or justified but you have to see where they are coming from...no one like someone acting like a spoiled brat.

Whenever people ask me what I drive, I tell them a small convertible and try to leave it at that unless they pry more and/or are real car enthusiasts. Humility can take you a long way in life if you let it.
My car is nothing more than a glorified miata, if I wanted to impress or rub something in the face of my peers I would get a f250
