Drove a 95 plymouth neon in High School. I hated myself.

Not many people that "had" cars in high school owned them themselves, and an even smaller percentage of nicer cars were owned by students themselves. I never understood how people took much pride in driving around cars their parents bought for them or thought less of others based on what their parents gave them. I bought a 300zx turbo the summer before my senior year and paid every penny associated with it, I was the only one I knew of that did that who wasn't driving a 2-3k$ car besides a few other guys. Friend of mine on the baseball team had a landscaping business like I did and had an incredible late 90's lifted truck with 40" tires. Goof ball lost it in a creek though.

Nope. Kinda hard to be hated for a car when I walked to school.

I was a military brat at a base high school in a country where the driving age was higher than high school age.

Not to worry, though. It being a typical high school, they found plenty of other excuses to hate...

I drive my S to school daily as well. Usually the only comments I get are either "that's a girl car" or them dissing my color (Suzuka Blue). I just tell them I like the color and they won't think it's a girl car if they were ever privileged enough to get a ride in it.

A few of my friends always say bad things about it, but they're just messing around. There is one kid with a black Evo X who I don't even know, but people have told me whoever drives it talks about how slow my car is and how much cooler he is apparently because of his Evo. Also, there's a kid with a 2010 Camaro, but he has a V6. He hasn't said anything that I know of, but he always gives me weird looks.

Everyone knows my car because of the distinctive color and the dark tint, but most of them don't hate it that I know of.
