I also feel awkward about the attention and even though I have tinted glass, random people still ask me to roll down my window to ask questions and stuff.

I don't think your being a dbag on any of those two scenarios. If there's eye contact then just smile.

When at a red light do you just look straight ahead and try to ignor everyone or look around to see if people are looking and when you make eye contact maybe wait for them to say something to you? I feel like a d-bag doing both of thos, I just feel like one if I look straight because I start thinking that the other person thinks "oh this guys just ignoring us because he has an frs" if I look around I think that people might think "oh this guys a dbag trying to show off hid frs" anyone feel like this. I did get a couple reactions last night driving home from the dealer thoug
Just have some music up and bop your head to whatever you're listening to. If windows are down and no music is on, just act normal and wait for the light lol. Who care's what other think, just be yourself. Isn't that the whole mentality of this car anyways?

One thing that i did do last night, i was at the drive through at In-n-out (mmmm) and the line curved around some buildings and stuff...the usual for In-n-Out. There was a guy that was waiting in live and my car was facing his driver side. I saw him and the like 4 other people in his car just staring at it. I avoided eye contact as much as possible. Every time i was look up he was just looking at it. He didnt say anything when we did make eye contact though.

I only acknowledge them if they are trying to talk to me. Otherwise, theyre not looking at me, theyre looking at the car.

Honestly haven't thought of it at all until this thread, and this is the last I'll think of it. Might be a generational thing.

I was side by side with Tacoma at the stoplight yesterday. He rolls down his window, and starts taking pictures of my car with his phone. "Ummmmm... ok" I think to myself. So I roll down my window to see if he has questions or something. (I do work at the dealership from which he bought his Tacoma)

He says "Wow, nice Aston Martin"

The light went green.
