I'm confused..Do you expect a payback every time you give something? Personally, if you were to tell me I have a nice car, I would reciprocate and say the same to you but I wouldn't "expect" you to or be butt hurt if you didn't. Life's too short man... and I don't think your age has anything to do with it. It's not a big deal that you're young and have a Vette.
OP: Why your subsequent post calling these people "douche"? Get a grip and move on.

You know...I hate to say it but there are a lot of people who drive Corvettes that are Buttheads.....plain and simple....just check out a thread or two....some make light or have a response but others will find it arrogant, or rude.....one guy thinks I am arrogant cause I was giving an OP some grief for running regular gas on his road trips....and saying we all can't have Lambos?...well it does help to have some broad shoulders sometimes....but then again I just don't understand the "My car is way better than your car group"...
Fortunately most Vette people are pretty good people....so remember them and forget the others...

Big deal, I doubt anyone is jealous because you appear young and are driving a Vette. They are not that hard to obtain cost wise just impractical for most people.
Also I have no idea why you think the Z owner was required to return any kind of compliment to you or give you anything other than what he did.
He acknowledged your comment what else do you want.

Whoa whoa whoa wait a minute here! You mean to tell me owning a $31k used vette at age 35 is not a big deal!?!?! No shiii!!! Lol the only reason I mention my age is because these guys were older and maybe they had the whole "these young punks dont deserve or appreciate these cars" attitude....I know owning a vette isn't a big deal when you can buy an 06 for 27K but a new nissan 370Z is well over 35K and over 40K fully loaded...kids in high school are driving them...so unlike others on here I know my car isn't a Ferrari and shares a hunch of parts with my 09 malibu...that's not the issue...but hey thanks for your reply...
Age has nothing to do with anything, whether it's a used C6 or anything else. Several younger guys attend our Chicago Crew lunches and Cars n Coffee for St. Jude, and are an accepted part of the group.
You gave a compliment and are making a big deal that they didn't reciprocate. So what? Move on. It's easier on your's nerves.

I try to be social but sometimes get in my own world trying to relax. When it comes to my vette...love it, hate it, think what you want as I own it for me and me only. I try and treat others the way I want to be treated but always try to do so without expectations of reciprocation.Road tripped with a buddy in a Lotus and quickly became invisible to everyone we came around....We laughed as it was like the Jock hanging out with the Nerd, it was funny to be a part of.

Twice now I've complimented a fellow vette owner on his car (one a clean C5 and the other a beautiful orange C6Z) and both times they saw my clean black C6 before I complimented their car and after I make the compliment they just look at me with a blank stare and kind of mumble thanks or something and just continue to look at me....these gentleman were in their 50s or older...I'm 35 but people say I look a lil younger....not sure if these guys look at me like a spoiled a$$ kid (which is definitely not the case, I've worked hard to get where I'm at) or what but damn would it kill them to say " thanks you got a nice vette yourself there bud" just irritates me... some things just erk me...maybe I'm just a whiner but damn if someone rolled up in a modified civic and said "nice vette bro" I'd say "nice civic" just to be nice and not an a$$hole but that's just me...ok rant over.

The guy in the Z06 really got to me, we were at the tire/wheel shop and I had just had my new gloss black wheels and new tires installed on my black C6 and he had just pulled up and was about to get out of his car , I pulled up to his car cop style, driver side to driver side and my car was looking super clean...I say "hey nice Z man", he just looked at me and nodded his head...wtf? He couldn't say"thanks you too " or something? Douche...
Maybe the guy thought you looked too young and assumed you worked at the tire store, in which case it wasn’t your car and he thought ‘what is this grease monkey in a nice vette doing complementing my car…’
It’s not always that people are being mean.
I always thank people when they complement my car. Keep complementing, you will run into nice people.

There can always be explanations.
