Default How do you handle the jealousy?

How on earth do you handle the jealousy of other drivers and pedestrians being able to see/hear your car??

Got my .2 manual about a month ago now and the thing is an absolute BLAST. Just moved so no friends to drive it for me really. I just wish I got to go into 3rd person view and see/hear the thing from the outside!

I'm not sure that most people's reactions to a loud / flashy car is 'jealousy' and for the minority for whom that might be the case, I'm pretty sure that I have more important things in my life to 'handle' then what a few pedestrians may or may not think.

Ah, yea sorry...didn't explain that well. I am the one that is jealous. I love hearing and seeing these cars drive by and wish I could experience that more often

not sure that’s what he meant.


I say it all the time. Wish I could see my car in motion, coming head on or quickly going by around a bend. At some point I need to find sometime and have someone record and get it on video just to have it.

Didn’t know you could hear your exhaust through track photos. Man this thread went left. Haha

Wellll …. Everybody BUT road bikers! They seem to hate the car …since it’s loud it sounds like it’s speeding when it (sometimes) isn’t? Who knows. For whatever reason I get bad vibes quite frequently from those fellas in spandex with the whole biker get up on. Everybody else loves it!
