Had some guy at a carwash tell me the V6 version was the one to get :smh:

He then proceeded to tell me about his son's Cavalier they were gonna drag race...

Me neither, must be a Purdue grad thing, you know we are boring nerds (class of '93.)

Most I've had in my FRS have been stare downs, most recently from a guy and his family in a GTi.

Interestingly though, the worst reaction I've had was to my NA Miata. I was enjoying the nice weather we had this Monday when this kid in a Ford Fusion comes out of nowhere, tailgates, and then overtakes me crossing the double yellows in a two lane curvy road.


Oh and Boiler Up! Another class of '13 here!

We're all car people in my office.

Co-Worker #1: YOU F***ING BASTARD
Co-Worker #2: DUDE NICE
Co-Worker #3: When do you want to race? (owns a Gen Coupe 2.0T)
Co-Worker #4: Oh that's way better than the Fiesta you were thinking!
Co-Worker #5: It doesn't get much better than that...

Friends are pretty happy for me as well, but a friend of mine did interject with,

"That's what I pay for my C-Class, but dude, your car is way sexier." (we're both leasing)

This is a problem with cars like this...I still get people riding my ass when I'm driving my 2003 Celica GT.

Our cars can unfortunately attract jerks and immature people...

Not many of these around here so it's fun to see oncoming drivers in their SUV's/pickups/minivans craning their necks as their mouths open like a game fish right before it hits the silver lure.

The thing I hate when I have a new car is when people gawk over your car and get too close.

Does the stock alarm flash bright enough?

What about an oldschool perimeter alarm...?

I don't like the attention, though I welcome genuine conversation about cars using my FR-S as a launching point.

Playing 20 questions though gets real tiring by question #2.

My car seemed to get the love of speed traps this August. Got 2 tickets while in Quebec.

Sent very nice pictures too

I was afraid this car would be what we call a "pull over" like a bright red V8 'Stange. But so far at least the argeteno hasn't brought any attention.

Uh oh. I wonder how much attention my Whiteout will get?
