Car messed up with on its first day out...

Insanely Yellow
I live at the very end of a 3-block long cul-de-sac - so about 20 houses on my street that I pass by to go anywhere. Because of kids, etc. in the neighborhood, I almost never go more than 20 through the neighborhood. Yet there are two neighbors on my street who constantly bitch to other neighbors (they don't have the ***** to say it to me) about how I'm constantly speeding up and down the street in "that damn yellow sports car".
I have also heard from various neighbors that they also talk about us and "how much money they must make" - it's a weird setup - damn near the entire neighborhood is still owned by the people that built the houses nearly 20 years ago - and most of them wouldn't be able to buy in the neighborhood now due to how the property values have risen. We bought three years ago for a price that's close to 3x what these people paid to build the houses. So they see the car and they rumor that "what does that guy do to afford a house that sold for XXX,XXX and drive a $60,000 car" ... $60,000??? LOL

Also, the word "cul-de-sac" is hilarious.

I've noticed that I get a lot fewer jealous stares when mine is dirty. Think I'll start carrying around a bucket of dirt to dump on it when I have to park in questionable areas (like Florida).

This is so got damn true. Clean and polish the car, get into weird incidents, stares, odd comments, etc... Dirty car, much, much less. Damn hot looking RX-8....haha...
I'm amazed at the amount of simple minded jealous and hate there is.
I get stares all the time. I now know what a hot female with the perfect body must feel like. I can deal with that, but not the b.s. sickos that say and do stupid crap.
The latest episode was somebody slamming their car door into my car, leaving a small dent. So damn sad, I'm starting to wonder if there is any hope for the human race.

Regarding OP: Sorry to hear that. I have not yet been a victim of that nonsense. I just do not understand what the hell is wrong with people.
I grew up poor as hell. Never had an ounce of hatred toward people with nice cars. I was just appreciative to seen one. I have chastised my friends in highschool for almost throwing rocks at a Porsche and yelled at a stranger for opening his door into a 350Z. I just don't freakin get it.
