It was whiny and snobby of her and I wouldn't do something like that, but I think you may have been overreacting. She might not have realised how bad she came across, and you said she used kinder words. I guess I can't judge because I wasn't there and couldn't read her demeanor or anything.
I was talking to this guy and I told him what type of car I drive sometimes and he said something like "sorry" and patted my arm. He insulted the trusty Daihatsu, so I took it personally and said, "don't touch me!". Just kidding, I didn't give a shit.

I wouldn't put up with that, most chicks don't even know jack about cars. Most see nice rims and a loud exhaust and think "cool", even if they're on a '90 honda civic. I've rolled up in a '99 Crown Vic Police Interceptor 4.6L V8, and been told it's a "boring" car by a girl. Boring?! The thing fucking tears and it's a classy piece of metal, too. Of course not, all girls are that stupid about cars, and there are guys that bad, but generally, most are too absorbed with their cell-phone and makeup to bother learning much about the subject.
I think they're probably a bit of a bogan tool, especially if they have brand name stickers. Although I admit sometimes obnoxious mods turn my head and that "ooh shiny" part of my brain goes off.
V8 engines are just overkill though, and I like civics.
It's usually the opposite, if I see chrome or stupid brand stickers on a nice car, I'll immediately think "ricer!", then once I realize what kind of car it is, I rescind my mental statement. I like V6's and 8's because they give you the extra power that really makes the difference, in my opinion. When I drive a civic or those tiny four-banger cars, I:
1) Feel like I'm in a tin can with a lawnmower engine.
2) Have no head or leg room, since they're designed for tiny people, and I'm 6'3, and still growing.
They might save a bit on gas, but I'll pay the difference for comfort and style. Besides which, insurance is already raping me.
