Joe Rogan talks about his Stingray Corvette feud with his neighbor
In the 1102nd edition of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), the UFC commentator discussed his hilarious auto-mobile feud with his neighbor. Rogan's neighbor is apparently an auto-mobile purist and hates the comedian for his restomoded Corvette.
The UFC commenter told his guest Matt Farah that this neighbor who also owned a stock Stingray, was not too happy once he realized the comedian's car was a restomod:
"The guy up the street he hate's me. We live in the same block. He's got an original [Corvett], he is one of those guys. He drives around with a paper boy hat on and drives around the neighborhood... Dude the look he had on his face when I told him none of it was original except the shell, looks original but it doesn't have a godda**d thing in it."

Joe Rogan added that he told his neighbor he chose to modify the car so it would drive well. The 54-year-old opined that it was not a disservice to the vehicle to give it better breaks:
"I was like look man, I like them to drive like a car that works good. Like why is it bad to upgrade the brakes?... Its not a museum piece its a car."
