I remember my parents sending me to swap tanks at the gas station and having to put the tank in the passenger foot well of my Ford Contour so I could keep hold onto it with one hand so it wouldn’t roll around or hit the door too hard.

The whole burnout u-turn preceding that on a public road without taking the time to make sure there was no one coming makes him a douchebag.
Pro-tip: Come up with a witty insult about the officer’s waist size and penchant for doughnuts. I guarantee they’ll be thrown entirely off guard by such a unique witticism.
“I will own your bank account. I will own your house.”
All I read at first was “New Stratus is coming” and I’m like “really Dodge? is this what we need right now?”
And pointed to where it said “Chevrolet,” and pronounced it with a French accent.
I’ll give you the opposite of this. I had recently traded a very tired F150 plow truck for an equally tired POS Glastron boat. We both ended up getting a bad deal I’m convinced. Guy ended up shorting the truck out by leaving *MY* vice grips on the battery while he did a test drive, also breaking the drivers side door…
Should’ve told him it was French and pointed to the red/white/blue logo.
I drive a 4Runner and a Mustang II and frequent Mustang forums, I’ve literally heard it all.
Middle aged guy at gas station: “Does your boyfriend know you’re driving his car?”. Me: (death stare, whilst throwing daggers at his balding head and silently checking out his sensible shoes) “Nice Prius.” (turns keys, revs 400 and blows my ever loving Flowmaster 50 exhaust in his face) “Have a nice day, ass”.
I was at a Porsche club HPDE and was talking to the chief about the events. We got onto the subject of Corvettes and he says, “We used to consider them jokes, back in the early 90s. Then they got pretty good in the late 90s. Then they got really good in the late 00's. Now they’re faster than we are!”
As I walked back to my new grey 6th gen Camaro SS, which has been lightly cosmetically modified (Forgeline VX1 wheels w/black chrome finish, black factory blade spoiler and front splitter) with my bag of take-out food, a man emerged from a mini-van parked next to me and said:
yeah? my GF took me to pick up my 98 Lincoln Mark VIII at the dealership and spotted a black Taurus and said “there it is.”
I know plenty of people who still refuse to buy Japanese or German cars because of World War II. The racial slurs have died out over the last 15-20 years, but the sentiment is still there.
I had two 4th-Gen BP/BL Legacy GTs and the rudest comments I would get were when people would complement the cool hood scoop that I put on my Camry. Seriously, back when my wife and I were still dating, she accidentally got into a dark grey Camry parked next to my car, thinking it was my dark grey Spec.B. I forgave…
I guess I missed the original post. One comment I received that stands out wasn’t exactly rude, but it was amusing. I was in Maranello, Italy, in a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. I needed some oil, so I stopped at a service station. As I had the hood up, a mechanic comes out of the service bay. He was in his late-fifties,…
While he was filling up, someone asked him where he had won the car. He replied that he’d bought it, and the guy who had asked just shook his head, and got back into his car without saying a word. In the moment, it was maybe the meanest thing I’d ever seen one person say to another about their car.
That first story about the Euro snobs and the Corvette: I tend to be a Euro snob and personally don’t like Corvettes, but dammit I will always respect them. You cannot deny they are incredible machines.
I had someone call me a typical BMW driver.....turns out my drivers side blinker was out :(
I once went to a car show with my Porsche 944 back in 2001 or so, and some girl asked me, pointing my car : “That Corvette over there, is it yours?”
