Friend I hadn't met in a while: "Really nice car. Didn't expect you to be driving something like this."

Even if they were dressed, uh, appropriately for that kind of car wash I'm not sure I would have turned in ... at least not to let them wash the car.

@Argento and I were just talking about that last night. It's about the same 0.o and I'm not really offended hehe

I gave them a big smile and a some devil horns as i drove off.
Same day as the car wash I came around a corner and two kids maybe 13-14 are riding their bikes. They look up and see the car and just stare with their mouths agape as I ride past. I couldn't help but smile ear to ear.

So yea, I drive a 13 year olds dream car. And I am 100% fine with that.

Local Honda Civic kids in highschool: couldn't hear what he said, he hit VTEC bro
Cop who assessed our car accident: "What HP does it put down? How much does it weigh? Does it have a LSD? Ok, the other guy should be at fault, here's a pic of my MR-2"
This really covers all bases

I got a thumbs up today, I never know what to do, so I just thumbsed up back

Had an older guy just staring at it (or me) at the stop light. I looked over and he's just straight staring at me with no expression. Like that video with Shia Lebeouf staring at the motorcyclist. Awwwkward

I just parked at the mall and got out of the car and this guy was like "That's a really cool car I got to take a picture of it to show my son!" and then I looked up and turned out it was my co-worker and he was like "HEYYY!! THAT'S YOUR CAR?!?" He has never seen my car before since I got it as we don't work at the office often.

Just filled up this morning and as I pull into the station there are three older eastern european guys hanging out. As I starting talking to one to tell them cash/credit whatever:

Guy 1: "Everyone like this car. Sporty Car"
Guy 2: "My son has 350z - has a lot of get up and go"
Guy 1: (Touching the fender louver) "They steal this from BMW."
Guy 3: "Who makes this car?"
Guy 2: "Suba-roo. Is only car made in Japan completely"
Me: "It's a lot of fun, great car."

Quick break while the car is being gassed up ... then as he gives me my receipt:

Guy 1: "How much for this car? 100 grand?"
Me: "For this car? No, much less than that. This car is less than $30 grand after tax."
Guy 2: "If Porsche - $100 grand."
Guy 1: "Good luck with your sporty car. Have fun. It's very nice."
Me: "Thanks - I'll see you soon."

One of them definitely works there, the other two i have no idea. It felt like a Seinfeld episode because they were pulled right out of the stereotype handbook.

My girlfriend's brother saw the car for the first time yesterday when I was dropping her off. He fell in love with it. He definitely approves of me dating his sister now if he didn't before
