This car attracts people to its blind spots for peeping I've noticed

Not so much a sweet ride bro, but I went up to visit my dad at a campsite he's staying at. There must've been 60 people that walked/drove by. I was parked in the grass so I look slammed, but every person stared the whole way past. Feels good.

Driving through the mall parking garage, a guy pulls out in front of me, gets out of his car, comes to my window and says, "that's a subaru?? Love the car man." And then walked back into his car. Lol

couple days after i got my car, i was at a light and i had that feeling i was being watched, looked over to an older gentleman giving me a thumbs up


where i work, i park my car right in front so i can keep an eye on it (you know you guys do it to)

anyways, people are always walking buy looking at it, even get people coming up to it and looking inside the windows

always give me a smile on my face lol

Working at a Honda dealership, it made quite the commotion having my new BRZ delivered right up front at the sales building during the work day. All 15-20 sales reps and managers on staff were all crowded around congratulating me and asking why I "didn't buy a Honda?"

Well you don't sell the S2000 anymore now do you Honda? THAT'S RIGHT, NOW ISN'T IT??

Couldn't be happier with the car, everyone at work is going bonkers for it and it's just a dream to cruise around in. It's going to be a long time getting used to all the rubber neckers in traffic and on the streets. people are looking and they aren't ashamed.

Guy in a Stratus R/T drove slowly past me today as the light turned green. He was rolling really slow and cranked his neck - clearly trying to figure out what the car was - before turning right.

Day before yesterday, a guy in a Civic Si Sedan challenged me. I don't really get down with that, though - especially in a 25mph zone.

Then there was the guy the day before that working in the drive thru at McDonalds who said, "I really like your car... I'll trade you my '99 Accord Coupe straight up."

"No thanks... my wife has a 2012 Accord Coupe".

Was that mean?

So yesterday, some random dude tried selling me a stereo system as I was rolling through the drive thru at Rally Burger. I can't explain why but just by looking at him I could tell he didn't do very good work which was confirmed when he walked back to his 2001 Dodge Stratus with the ghetto window rattling sound system.

On the bright side, today when I was dropping off a package at the post office, there was a nice looking girl who was about my age who told me she loved my car and that I should give her a ride. Sadly I was running late for something (and I'm not the smoothest when it comes to girls sadly) and didn't get a phone number.

If you believe popular media, that scenario usually ends up with you in a ditch and your car as someone else's.

So today, at my work we been working 12 hours today and as I was leaving work all of the first shift (I work 2nd shift) pulled in and every car that passed me they either honked at me or gave me a thumbs up or a peace sign.

And there was this really cute girl that I've never seen before honked at me and waved at me, I didn't know how to act lol I'm not really used to this kind of attention haha so I just tried to look cool like I didn't care.

And on the way to work again since we're working 12 hours again 1st shift was leaving almost the exact same thing happened and apparently on Thursdays there is a muscle car meet at a bar like right next to my work place and I was running a little late so I was in 2nd gear and speeding and everyone at the bar in the parking lot looked at me and I heard some of them scream
"WHOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Lol I don't know why but it really made my day that even muscle car fans like my car I was actually expecting someone to hate on me lol. And the fact that my 1st shift co workers were still giving me thumbs up and honkin at me lol it was just awesome lol

I saw a Camaro with Angel Eyes pull up opposite to me at a stop sign. So I turned mine on. I'm going to assume he noticed because as we passed each other he proceeded to rev the life out of his engine. It sounded awesome.

Two stories here.

First, was on my way home on side streets, black RSX pulls up beside me and starts checking out my car. At a light he rolls down his windows, gives me a thumbs up and says I have a sweet ride. He starts revving at the light, and as it goes green he dumps the clutch and stalls. Waited a bit for him out of courtesy because that was me not too long ago.

Second, just got to the bank to deposit a check. As I'm getting out of my car, woman in an SUV a couple spots away from me gets out to head to the ATM leaving her boyfriend/husband behind in the passenger seat. As I walk by the SUV, I can see the guy eyeballing my car. As I'm getting back into my car, I hear from the SUV the guy saying "That one. I want that one." This car turned a grown man into a 3 year old. Awesome stuff.
