Damn People!
Whoever is running their mouth is very immature. He should be mature enough to know not to degrade other peoples things like a car. No matter what condition it is in or what type it is etc.... Sounds like he is building himself up because his defense mechanism is kicking in because your car is a threat.
When you get to the point where you're buying tires just make sure you get some stickys so your car will hook and book!
