Roman -
Lets see you are a young good looking guy driving a very beautiful very expensive car. There are folks who will see you, your youth, and the car and they can't help themselves - they are going to resent you. How they react to you is more likely a reflection of themselves and how their life is going.
My advice is to come at this stuff from a good heart-ed place. Instead of reacting negatively, think kind thoughts and give folks a genuine smile - its amazing how kind thoughts and a genuine smile can turn things around.

Don't be too hard on yourself, I'm only 18 everywhere I go, and I mean EVERYWHERE, I get the looks. The people in my neighborhood, my work place, and my local grocery store all give me the evil eye as I drive past. Bask in the glory

I get hated on all the time even when I was in my 430, I say if you have any hater/s you must be doing something right! To me haters are nothing but overzealous fans with misplaced priorities.
They don't know how to take that negative energy to ask how you got to where you are or how can I help myself to accomplish what you do or may have. so they go for the easy route.....HATE on you. I love them in a crazy way you can say, so let them stay caught up in the hatrix and do whay they do best.

wait a sec here,, so i keep seeing this young thugged out dude round my way and his brand new brabus s63 amg,, i'm not sure what level of brabus he got if any on the performance side or if he just got the kit and wheels for like 5k more at time of purchase but anyways he's got the brabus badge and it sounds pretty mean. that car could be anywhere from 150-300k and this dude is some young thug looking street dealer type... obviously he is doing something right but i can't not hate every time i see him... my wife says i'm the president of the jealous club. 
on a second note i saw a license plate that read hihater however it was on a completely stock scion Tc,, i just laughed inside.

in my 20's I was still in college driving a piece of X
I am not that old but I just have trouble seeing teens driving brand new MB, BMW, IS/GS (not that many LS).
LS is market for "older" folks in mind, it is not surprised to see why old people give "younger" LS driving dirty look.
Don't let it get to you too much. Like other suggested, I would smile and say hi to the hater and see how they response. If they still give you the dirty look, they are an a_hole.

The LS430 is hardly a supertanker sized vehicle. I bought it because it was smaller than other options I was considering like the Lucerne, DTS, MKS, and LS460, yet roomy inside with plenty of trunk space.
