Soo... It finally happened..

[Pbrown]

Best one to date....went to park my car at a local car show and as I started walking into the grounds 4 old guys came up to me and talked about the car and said it should be in the show as it looked better than most of the cars on display. Never gets old...

It's fun sharing one's FR-S with the world...

I was parking mine... away from the rest of the gaggle... and I noticed a car came and parked directly behind me!! (Argggghhhh Really??!!!) A lady in her 70's got out... and walked up to my side of the car (window).... I rolled down the window and she said..."Wow... what IS this... I've got to have one!!".

I talked to her for a bit... she was impressed with the car's pedigree... and when I got out of the car to finish the talk... I noticed that she had parked a pristine Toyota MR-2 behind me.... so I went over and did some serious drooling over HER rig... while she explained all the minor mods she had done over the years... she is the original owner!!!

Car enthusiasts... we're a strange breed... but a happy breed...

Soon after I got the car in June 2012, a Toyota Tacoma pulls up beside me at a red light. He rolls down his window and starts taking pictures with his phone. I roll down my window to see if he had any questions. The car had only been available for a few month then. That's when he says:

"Wow! Nice Aston Martin!"

I was thankful when the light turned green. I didn't know if I should thank him, correct him, or just facepalm. I turned, he went straight.

At least he didn't say "Austin Martin." I have a friend who does that and it's just awkward.

So elderly people like your car...

I told them the price and that I do in fact, love this car, and they flashed me a thumbs up.

Yesterday at a 3 lane stop light I was on the far left and this Tesla S pulls up on the far right. I glance to see who's driving it and the guy was staring at me with his eyes wide open then a car in the middle pulls up so I cant see him anymore. As the light turns green I see the Tesla in my mirrors aggressively change lanes to the middle and at the next red light the guy rolls down his windows and said "wow thats one beautiful car is that really a Subaru?" I say yes and he says "oh boy i might wanna trade!" Amazing where the compliments can come from.

I think it took that long because you are in NY. Here in NH, I got a whole conversation from a guy at a gas station, who stopped beginning to fuel his STi when I pulled up behind him. Strangers are very forthcoming up here in the boonies, much nicer than when I lived on long island (left 5 years ago)

Went to a car show at a local Dairy Queen this past Friday. Parked my car a decent distance away, looked at a few of the cars that were at the show and went on about my business. Was inside for ~5 minutes and came back out to a bunch of little kids and their parents around the car. I walked up closer to the car and the little kids ran away! I was so ready to answer some questions! lol

you know what, I wish I can say that to my father.

but it turned out, I pretty much had to work & loan my entire college tuition.

Everyone's situation is different. It is possible to purchase/lease a new car while in college, it just depends on how hard you are willing to work, or how much you worked back in high school to obtain scholarships.
