Ok, so why is everyone getting so work up over my number plates?

So I consider myself to be very lucky to have a company car at the age of 20. I drive a fully optioned FG XR6 Ute. My boss recently approached me about putting some number plates on the car that he has had in storage at the RTA. The number plates are V8UTES, we had them from when we had a replica V8 Race Ute. Being that he is the boss and he pays my wages I agreed to put them on the car.

I must say I was not expecting the backlash I have received from other motorists. I constantly get over taken at full noise by V8 Commodores and the odd Falcon trying to illustrate the point that their car is a V8 and mine isn't. I've also seen a few times now of people taking photos of my plates whilst sitting in traffic. I also get people who fly up beside me and just stare at me.

So my question is why all the hate? Why do people fell the need to go out of there way to make their point? Not as though I'm trying to pass it off as being an XR8, all the badges are on there, haven't done anything to deceive anyone.... besides the plates

I don't really let it get to me just having a little rant.
