This was my first weekend with my Ultramarine FR-S. Took the gf out as she wanted to go shopping for stuff for her new condo. We were leaving a store and as I pulled up to a light, this big cop SUV pulls up next to me on the driver's side. I look up and this big 'ol feller in blue with furrowed brows is looking down at me and making a downward pointing motion - so I roll my window down.

Cop: "How much for that thing?"
Me: "$25K out the door!"
Cop: <eyebrows raise up and eyes open wide> "Wow that's not bad - good lookin' car!"

Light turns green and we both sit there for 30 seconds while I give him a few specs on the car - traffic getting all backed up behind us. Nobody honked though! Gotta love Chicago cops.
