A WAWA! Haven't heard that name since I lived in jersey. Oh man...

Best reaction I had was while out dining at a nice restaurant in Irvine. A VERY sexy and modified 2012 BMW M5 drives past my parked FRS, slams the brake, reverses, stops in front of my car, gets out, does a walk around, scratches his head, and he gives me a thumbs up. Jumps back in and leaves! I felt honored.

So we're comparing them on the track?

2. Parked several spaces over from a nicely done 2012 Mustang GT so that I could go into RadioShack to buy an aux cable for my Galaxy Nexus. Just as I was getting out of my car a woman pulls up in an older Scion box and says "How is it?!? I've been looking at them." Pretty sure she thought it was a TC....

3. That Mustang owner and I both returned to our vehicles at the same time. Him from the pet store and me from Radio Shack. I get in an unwrap the cable to plug in my phone while he pulls out and drives away staring at my car the whole time and nearly hitting someone.

4. Thumbs up from a C6 Vette driver's wife as they cruised past on the freeway.

3. Some guy in a Tiburon yelled, "Love your car, dude!" just before ripping out of a parking lot with a red 350Z right behind him to play stupid chasing games NOT on a closed course.

4. More police attention in two days than in 6 years of Jeep ownership. Fortunately, I've not been naughty at all.
DEFINITELY. Cops are slowly learning about our car.

I don't think they're slowly learning. I think they just see a sports car and get a hard on...

Flew past a cop on the highway going 15 over...he didn't even bat an eye. Either was in doughnut fueled coma...or gawking the car. I kinda hope the 2nd.

I wonder how long I'll last without getting pulled over once Isis releases their exhaust... Anyone else in cali feel me?

I go to my car this morning to grab sunglasses I left there and I have a kid leaning on the hood and daddy taking a picture...

Since I don't have mine yet, it's not really a reaction to my car, but so far everyone I've told about the car I'm getting has responded with "I hate you" or "I'm jealous" and they are always mad that I get such an awesome car.

I posted a picture of the car on facebook the day I ordered it and one of my brother's friends responded with "Please, please make me feel worse about my honda with 200k miles on it. Please!"

I test drove one the other day and I had a friend with me, she's not a car person, but she loved the car. Adjectives she used repeatedly "Sweet, awesome," and annoyingly, "Cute". She drives a saturn and kept talking about how much she'd love such a sweet car, but can't afford a new car.

Earlier this week, I was putting my bag in the trunk while leaving work and the mailman was just pulling in. He shouted "Hey! Ill trade you!"

I saw my neighbor last night when I was coming home from work and she just kept saying it was "banging" and "hot" then asked me what it was
