Honestly, not much so far.

I got a LOT more looks and comments on my '12 GC R-Spec.

I'm ok with that.

Went to go pick up take out at Applebees and the cute blond waitress asked what car it it and wanted to trade her car for mine. If I wasn't married, I'd be letting her ride my Scion while I ride her in bed.

I only had one guy look at my car and tell me it looked "sweet." Surprisingly few reactions from my car

Gentleman who worked around the fuel pump at one of my local Sam's Club's was offering to clean everyone's windshield, but he sincerely told me that my car was too nice to clean... I was very grateful of his compliment.

Now I undertand that the entire world may not praise this particular car, but for the right person who shares the same interest as the owner of the car itself... It can matter a great deal.

I'm from NoVa, too. Do you ever drive on 28? Your car might have been the one that literally made me have the "love at first sight" feeling with the FR-S. I had never seen one before and asked the bf, "What car is that????" Now I have a deposit down on a Whiteout and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival!

I have had a lot of reactions, ranging from owners of AE86s just falling in love all the way to the younger crowds. I took it down to the local street races on Friday night and had about 20-30 people crowd around my car before I could even park.

Just had a sinister episode last night...
Two guys in a black car followed me for ages. At first I thought they were just curious about the car but then I started getting near my house and there was no way I was letting them see where I lived.
I kept switching lanes and taking illogical turns, but they stayed with me. I started getting worried.
In the end I had to pull some ninja moves, including a 180 in the middle of the street to lose them.

I reckon they were either:
a) undercover cops
b) curious about the car
c) sinister mofos who wanted to follow me home

That's crazy man. I too though am cautious about who is following me. I always have been. Best thing is to not go home.

I had a cool conversation with a guy who owned a Viper at the car wash. Totally gave me props. He thought the car was a Nissan, when I said Scion he shit his pants.

Honestly I could go on and on for pages. Every time I take her out, I get long crazy stares. Everyday. From cool people, too ****s, Yesterday some guy in a Lancer cold stared me and burned rubber at the green light. Some Envy looks by dudes driving their ugly 05 Mercedes C class who thought they were something when they first bought them.

What ever. Its fun and inspires lots of thought.

I definitely get more love than anything else.

Had a guy at a Wal-Mart shopping center drop his mouth and say, "What the fuck is that?" as he drove by. It was pretty funny.

Had one of my client's tell me that I should get a couple new girlfriends now, and next time we go to lunch-we are taking my car.

Nice! The other cool thing about the car is that it will ward off those pesky third wheels when you take your new girlfriend(s) out because the backseat can only fit small children.

some 55 year old lady after my run came up to my car and was like "ohhh that's such a cute car." I was hoping she would replace cute with badass, but I appreciate the compliment. Here are two photos I snapped of it up at the start of my run:

Thanks man! The camera did not have it turn out as bright as it looked, but damn was it fun to tear around the mountains in. Thankfully it started to rain really hard on the way home.
