Default Old guy can drive

So Im walking out of a WalMart the other day and I see two Vettes parked next to each other. Same generation same color (red). One was a little dirty, looked like it hadnt been washed in a while. The other was lookin good. Looked like he just left a car wash. The clean one had C5 wheels on it but I think it was just a base Corvette. I pointed this out to me friend and said "I bet this guy is thinking 'haha mine is better'". As my friend turns to look at the cars he grined and nodded behind me. Behind me was an older guy, maybe mid 50's, giving me a dirty *** look as help approached his dirty vette. To make it even worse was that a young couple was aproaching thier car, the clean vette. It was clear that they had heard me comment also because the guy was grinning and the girl laughed at the old guy.
Wow did I feel like a jackass. Anyways my friend and I were in the parking lot for a minute discussing where we were going to next and I heard engine reving. My friend said "look at what you started" I turned and saw both the vettes at a red light right in front of the walmart. Both of them reving the hell out of their cars. (both sounded stock). Anyways light turns green and the young couple were eating the old guy's dust. I guess he was pissed.
I thought it was funny that an old guy smoked a young couple that thought they were hot ****. Im sure they werent laughing anymore.
