Do you get more thumbs up or dirty looks?
 

WRX's and STi's are abundant around my area, and I usually see at least one everytime I drive. Most of them give me thumbs up or head nods when they see/hear my car. But I have gotten some dirty looks from a few of them. Scion owners, mainly tC's tend to give me looks of jealousy. I would too if I saw my tC come up to an FR-S. To me, when I get some head nods from Subie owners, it generally means they understand the purpose of the car, knowing its power is inferior but handling is much better. It's fun to hear other Boxer rumbles and I can join them with my Scion.

I've gotten thumbs up for cars that are worth a billion times our value. Fuck the haters.

i dont think ive had any dirty looks from anyone except truck drivers. they would pull up to red lights and floor their trucks then spit out their window almost everytime or toss a cigarette at my car after passing.

ive gotten thumbs ups, nods, and follow side by side from a GTR, maserati, and a GT3. recently had an aged guy pull up at a gas station and asked me if i think i can blow the doors off his car. he had a phantom! haha

I had a horde of people walking laps around my car today as I ate lunch. One of the guys came in to track down the owner(me) and talked for a bit about the car and how much he and all the others outside liked it. It made my day :)

No dirty looks but I did have a jerk in a Porsche hard lane check me then took off like a bat out of hell. Guess hoping I would chase him.

I've gotten 1 guy in a R35 to smile at me at a red light. I was just doing my own thing and then once the light turned green the idiot floored it and ended up wrecking the dealerships 2013 GTR into a concrete wall from getting the tail in the air somehow. I saw it all happen so quickly, I was still in the same intersection and laughed as I drove by.

And no he didn't appear to be hurt, he got right out of the car.

For me it depends on if its a guy or girl haha girls tend to give me dirty looks when they realize that it's a girl driving it and guys typically give a thumbs up.

thumbs up. all the time.

I received a friendly honk from an sti when i was waiting in a turning lane and it passed me. other than that just stares of wonder (wtf is that?).

Smiles and waves mostly.

I get shitty looks from "tuners" in things tacky Hondas and gen. 2 Eclipses. It's not my fault you drive an Eclipse, no need to get mad at me.

Everyone else is pretty genuinely interested. No real thumbs up, but I get into a lot of parking lot conversations with people who really like the car.

I've gotten thumbs up from import owners and muscle car owners. I've also gotten people giving me shit for how slow it is. Some people I think are just sincerely jealous haha. And yes, a lot of trucks are assholes. I was downshifting to switch lanes, and this F-350 heard me so he sped up and blocked me from getting over. No idea why. But I enjoy feeling the love from Subie owners.

See, this is another reason why I have 15% window tint...so I can see/sense other drivers checking out my car. I get stares of wonderment and points, too. I remember getting out of church one day on base and 2 dudes were taking cell phone pics of my car. The following Sunday, another 2 dudes walked by in amazement. I've seen a couple WRXs/STis checkin me out just because they know what I have and respect it. I get a lot of middle-aged guys in Mustangs and Camaros do double takes or rubber necking it. Oh, and there was a boyfriend/girlfriend in a tC Release Series keeping pace behind me checking my car out. (I was watching in the rear view) Other than that, no dirty looks from anyone.

Dirty look from older folks. But the ladies seen to like the car.
