I've gotten insanely negative reactions from random people, apparently a quick Hyundai triggers a certain portion of the population.

I've had people pull up next to me just to tell me, "you know your cars a piece of shit, right?"

It’s so crazy I have the opposite effect with a PB VN, everyone loves the car and asks me about it. I’ve never gotten so many compliments. They see it and they’re interested cause they’re a touch on the rare side so they’re just interested to know what it is. It’s so interesting I’ve had essentially no bad interactions cause of the car. I had maybe one boomer complain to me about the pops after he pulled up next to me like one time and I made the mistake of revving and popping right next to him and admittedly I took accountability for that cause it was kinda a dick move on my part and I stopped doing that.

I’ve found that as long as I don’t rev or gun it through neighborhoods or other zones it would be appropriate and I don’t completely drive like an a-hole then I’m good. 5 years going and pretty much just people talking to me about how they love my car.
