Now that I've had mine about one and a half months, the reactionary tales are piling up.
Met with a friend and his ultra clean 911SC to show him the FR-S and let him drive it. While we were talking in the parking lot, a middle aged guy and his wife were walking by and he was telling her all about it and they looked in the windows. I asked if they wanted to sit in it, which they did, and they both liked it. The guy then proceeded to talk about his MB C230 coupe for about 10 minutes while my friend and I just smiled and nodded.
Washing the car in the driveway, some middle school kids from the school up the street walked by and ooooohed and ahhhhhed, and said "nice car."
Had a brand new Civic Si with dealer plates come rushing up to pass me in the left lane on the highway, but then he paced me for a few seconds, downshifted, and VTECced out.
An AE92 full of kids was stopped at a light in front of me, and the kids in the back seat were smiling and staring, and giving the thumbs up.
Sitting in the car while parked on a street that has lots of pedestrian traffic is funny. I've seen people staring for seconds on end without ever noticing I was sitting inside. Overhear other people talking about it as walking past.
There's been a few more too. When I first picked up the car, I went a few weeks without any attention grabbing moments. Lately there's something just about every time I take it out. I suppose there is a bit of magic to it. It'll be interesting to see how long that lasts.
