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.

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. :willy:

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...

Slow down and get over yourself. :yesnod:

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. :thumbs:

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. :cheers:

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...

There can always be explanations.
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.
