Can't get my mom to stop complaining

As many of you already know, I am a diehard Ford lover, but my worst problem I have to deal with is my mom. Let me explain.

An hour ago, as of the time i wrote this post, my dad lend his truck to her because her Bow Tie Suburban was in the tire shop. All of a sudden, she starts saying "WTF is wrong with this truck, It takes a long time to accelerate. My Suburban can do better than that." It got me annoyed and I mumbled "Bow Tie lover" but I told her, "When I get money, I'm gonna modify the truck so it can accelerate better." But she still kept on complaining and saying bad things about Ford.

What can I tell her so she could stop complaining without getting my computer priviliges taken away.and for my sister to tattletale on me

Shut her up real quick and say " If the bow tie is so great, why are we not driving that?"

With all due respect, I'd suggest you listen more and talk less. You'll be a lot wiser that way.

Maybe its not her pride of Chevy, but her being used to an automobile that hauls more than other cars. Not a big deal.

Tell her, "What do you know about automobiles, you're just a woman."

All jokes aside, they're not that bad of a vehicle. My dad had a 2000/01 (cant remeber) Suburban and now my grandad has it. I drive it up at the cottage towing our boat and it can haul frieght even with the heavy boat and trailer on the back. My dad now drives a Denali, I basically learned how to drive properly on it, and its realllly responsive. The pedal has more instant response than even an 05/06 Mustang. Of course its not faster top end or off the line, but if you slip your toe a little bit, itll go.
