Do you get much jealously ?
Discussion
Today I went shopping at Lidl.
As I loaded my car afterward, (991.2 GT3) an unknown white male in a VW van drives by my car with his window down. I did not know him. He then leans out the window and shouts: "You f...ing w..ker - that's what a right f...ing w....ker looks like."
Since the was no pre-road rage issue, I assumed the man was probably jealous.
I have the odd family member who more politely frowns on my excess spending on cars - just wondered if anyone else experiences this sort of rubbish ?

You’re successful for a reason. Probably ability and hard work, perhaps with some luck along the way. Your white van man might perversely have a much greater sense of entitlement than you, parking wherever he wants, across 2 spaces etc.
Your car didn’t get keyed, forget it!
Agree the above.Your car didn’t get keyed, forget it!
Don't get me wrong - I'm not really stressed, I realise it's someone else's issue.
What did surprise me though, was the - actual level - of unprompted verbal aggression.
(Thought GT silver would sail a just little under the radar...)
Maybe I will shop at Waitrose !
Interesting range of comments...
For context; my car's often used as a daily (comfort spec, silver for a reason.) At 57, am not naive to realise it will attract resentment from some.
But, I've worked long and hard for what I have, and where I came from, Without wishing to appear arrogant, I don't feel I should cower from the world in a rabbit hole. My surprise yesterday, was the actual LEVEL of aggression displayed. (Would have been less surprised to find the car keyed.)
