Yeah dude, most non-car people wont notice things like headlights. Did you tell him you wanted c6 z06's?

**mammoth713** · 12-05-2009, 08:14 AM

Put a billet grille in yours and it will change it a good bit.

**cammed goat** · 12-05-2009, 09:28 AM

This is the reason WHY I bought a modded goat. I also changed the spoiler as not many people near me with GTOs have a spoiler like mine. I like being different so if anyone mistakes me for someone else who is a total scheisskopf I can tell them they have the wrong guy. I love making idiots outta people who accuse me falsely.

OP, I would consider a different hood and spoiler, maybe from an SS or do some other visual mods to distinguish your car from his. No sense in fighting battles instigated by your "friend".

punch him in the neck, or tell him to get the license plate next time. if i spot a car going by my house,(speeding or not) i can usually get their plates. i get some speeders here and there. nothing ridiculous though. i figure if i can spot a plate so can the bmw owner. especially since my eyes are so bad.

idk... i'm not really asking what majorly would make me stand out from him because i'd like a z06 in 3 or so years so... itd be more worth it of me to start saving my money now rather than do that.. i posted this thread kind of to just see if i'm crazy or not.. and see what you guys thought of the situation.. thats all. but thanks for the advice.. i love the SS spoilers, thought about getting one for a while.. EDIT: oh and yeah i am ordering an SLP grill in spring... forgot to mention that i guess. i saw on here someone sprayed the front bowtie white instead of the red and i think thatd match my car's theme pretty well...

a guy i know bought a black 94 z28, and another one bought a 99 black z28 w/ the rs kit like mine. they drove like dumbasses, people were always messing with me, and talking shit about my car and how i drove like crap. I was always like

are you talking about? I even got arrested for wreckless endangerment for something I supposedly did, and I had been at work all day long, needless to say I was out within 20 minutes, and pd was very sorry got reimbursed my bail right then.

needless to say

the 94 blew his motor like a month later, still talks shit to this day.
John_stout's old prelude smoked it, before john's turbo build

AND

the 99 z ended up like this

no words

**rabiddog** · 12-07-2009, 05:42 AM

WTF... wheres the bridge!!!! HAHA what a dumbass. You know if you go fast enough you could probably skip across that little pond. Maybe when the guy w/ the 94 gets his fixed you can convince him to try it.

he'll never fix it.

he blew it up 2 years ago in February

I had mine first, and have had it the longest

**mammoth713** · 12-07-2009, 08:56 AM

wow.

**CorvetteLS9** · 12-18-2009, 11:09 AM

Just saw this post, funny thing is, similar thing happened to me.

I used to drive a black Silverado, let's say nearly half a decade ago. After 2 months of ownership, I was copied. A friend of mine from work bought the exact same truck in the exact same color, because he "liked my car and wanted a truck". Now, I bought this truck brand new, and with it being my first car, I was angry as heck. You know why? He didn't even pay for the truck. His parents decided to so called "give him a loan" or some nonsense. We used to be mistaken for cars.

So know what I did? I bought a C6 and a beater cavalier for the winter. Now who has the last laugh?

Is this guy a dick? Because this guy Jim was a real tool, and loved getting the trendiest thing out there.

**c5z28** · 12-18-2009, 11:23 AM

gut the interior and tear down the motor and let it all dry out

. How much does insurance want for it?

**mammoth713** · 12-19-2009, 07:33 AM

i wouldnt consider this person who i'm talking about a "dick" because the fact we were close close friends prior to the cars, etc.. now we are older and whatnot he deffinately has to have the newest and best thing always

once he sees something someone has he has to get it

If you don't want to change your car, and this guy wants to have what you have or want... Keep telling him how much you want white stripes on your car. Every time you see him, bring it up.

Then, when he gets those stripes on his, it'll be easy to tell your cars apart

Solution

**F-my-body** · 12-20-2009, 03:45 PM

AHAHAHAHA is it bad how when i saw the sunken maro i laughed?

but i guess i could be called a free loader im 16 and didnt pay a dime while 99% of my friends have "shit" handmedown.but i dont drive wrecklessly or anything i mean sometimes i get a little speed happy but id only floor it just for a sec to fel the response or a back road while tis empty and or traffic free.i do respect my car and dont plan on fucking it up so im not that dumbass going 70 through neighborhoods and ima good driver.i actualyl stop COMPLETELY at stop signs and stuff.99% of the time anyways.buuut my friend who go a 05 mustang V6 for 11k is that dumbass who always speeds and is an asshole to toher people thinking its funny and revving it in parking lots cus he thinks its just sooooooooo loud for some reason.he bought it for 11k and i bought my 02 Z28 black fully laoded ttops perfect interior and engine condition with 77k miles on it for 10.4 and mines rediculously louder and faster than his...and has a better system

**mammoth713** · 12-21-2009, 07:56 AM

lol. well i think my solution is the z06 in a couple years...

hell i could even buy a normal c5 vette next year if i wanted...

so whatever. the grill and stuff will set us apart enough i think.. this guy who i am talking about doesnt really brag about his car though all that much to be honest.. he just likes to shop i guess for it if that makes sense.

what are the odds the camaro he bought would be black... ahaha when i heard that news i was like.... ehhh ok?? but oh well.

cant wiat for the z06

**SAGGIN** · 12-21-2009, 01:18 PM

I'm sensing a bit of jealousy here...you labored hard to save up the money to purchase the car, he had his daddy buy it for him. Who cares. You will def appreciate your car a lot more than he might but in the end does it really matter how you got the car as long as you got them?....just two words: Grow Up!
