Well I got my first insult today. Was driving down a 4 lane road...guy passing me on the right yells out his window from his big SUV...

"Your car sounds like a lawnmower".

So I have the most expensive 2.0L /4 lawnmower in Houston. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Idiots are always amusing.

Has anybody else been insulted on the open road about your "fake" Porsche or small engine?
