Jealousy and/or Haters

How do you guys deal with jealous dudes that say crap like: "You've got a big engine, you must be overcompensating for something."

the ones that normally say that are the ones with body kits, wings, and tiny engines. Laughing is a good response.

Laughing usually gets them. Really, if you think about it even the crapiest V8 the tbi 305 has more hp and torque than the imports. Its the weight that tips the scales. So I kind find it funny when any fart can says anything to the point that my car is big.
My usuall response is, " Hey, your wing is on the wrong side of the car!". If they stick around to find out why, I tell them. "Put it infront, it'll keep your tires down since your four banger aint heavy enough."

99% of those wings are useless. For the .01% I am sorry
