lol wow... that is seriously messed up that they go around provoking people to race. Let's say you raced just to humor her but you otherwise never would have provoked a race. imo that would be totally unfair. Guess they have to make their money some how

I think you are reading into it a bit much there, dude. Plus even if she was, its entrapment by the cop. She was kidding.

I have to drive down the busiest pedestrian interaction in Toronto(Boot leg shibuya crossing) after work every night. Whenever I drive through, I look at my rear view mirror and see tons of people staring at my car. The best is when the lights turn red and i'm in front of all the cars. Tons of people just staring while they walk by.

Drove an E46 M3 for 10 years and had a few people comment on the car being nice. I can count on 1 hand how many compliments I got from people that weren't car people.

I've had I don't know how many compliment the FRS in one month of ownership. One guy even had a loud speaker/bull horn in the car and used it from 3 lanes over saying "I love your car." I rolled down my window and yelled back "Thanks and I love that you have a horn like that in the car."

A few days after I got my FR-S, I was heading over to the coast to get some real road time in. As I was filling up, the guy next to me says "man thats a beautiful car! Is it a Porsche?" I just kinda smiled, and said "nah it's a Scion FR-S." Said he'd never seen one, but was really impressed. Made me feel really hip, haha. Had a great trip through the twisties on the way to the coast and back!

You should have stopped and said "nice box you lazy fuck!"

An entire busload of elementary school "bros" poked the heads out the windows to see the car and wave at me. Gave me the smiles.

Pulled up to a DI (local Goodwill) to drop off some donations. Two workers meet me at the donation area:

Worker 1: Wow
Worker 2: Nice car, dude.
Worker 1: My grandpa's car could smoke this.
Me: Yeah, man. It's like way slow.
Worker 1: MUMBLE MUMBLE MUMBLE
Worker 2: It's a really nice car, dude.
