That's awesome! I envy you, sort of, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I live in the city. I like my 2 acres of land, my friendly but distant neighbors, my well water, and seeing deer/foxes/eagles/black squirrels/etc.

There are few things more rewarding than that. Children know what cool cars really are

I thought it was pretty funny... about an hour later, I see him and his buddy.. and i said to them, hey did you guys see a really cool black car, and they both got excited and said YES... it was a LEXUS!! and the roof looked kinda like this (hand gesture).. and after a few minutes back and forth, I told him... it was me... and it wasnt a Lexus.. it was Nissan, and one of the boys said, when i grow up, i want a car like that.. and I told him, if you work hard in school, stay out of trouble, you can have one.

I was at Costco filling up the Roadster minding my own business. Then I hear a kids voice, it gets louder and louder til hes almost screaming (couldnt really understand what he was saying - er, wasnt really paying attention to what he was saying). I turned and theres this big SUV with the windows rolled down. The mom sitting in the drivers seat kindly says "My son says he loves your car!". A 10 year old kid in the back seat with a big grin on his face flashing two thumbs up.

Another time I was pulling out of the parking lot of a 7-11 near Disney Land. A big group of what must have been 5th graders were walking across the parking lot on their way to Disney Land. I had the top down, and one of the kids as he was passing by said "Sweet car man!".

I swear, its either little kids, old ladies, or dudes. Hot chicks never seem to appreciate nice cars.. lol

Hahah! Depends on the girl. Prior to my wife (who loved my 350z, and the motordyne + art pipes setup I had) I dated a few who loved my car.

Yeah but did they dig your car after you started dating them or did you start to date them BECAUSE of your car? hehe..
BTW, my gf has that condition where loud noises like crunching or smacking irritates her to no end. When I got my CBE installed, I really thought she would hate it. She actually loves it - doesnt hurt that the Invidia is more on the "tame" side of cbe's. She was pretty indifferent to the car when I first got it.
