What do you do when people approach you about your car?

memorylasts

I have been approached and talked to everywhere i have been and to be frank it is kinda annoying in the same regard it is nice sometimes when you get people that know what they are looking at.

What do you guy/girls do in this situation, I hate getting held up from going where I need to go but i dont want to go all NY'er on some sensitive San Diegian that i dont know.

it has only been a week but everytime i go near the car people come out the wood work... and some are pretty damn creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.

You must have a lot of friendly people over there in San Diego. I live in Phoenix and have only had a couple people comment on my car since I got it six weeks ago. And I've been out a lot.

Anyway, over the years I've had several cars and motorcycles that people would come up and ask about and as long as they were pleasant and sincere in their interest I've always taken a few minutes to talk to them. I've found that most folks don't want to talk that long and if they do it's usually possible to get away politely after 2 or 3 minutes. I guess I dealt with so many jerks in the years I lived in Seattle that I was always glad to have a person come up to me and be nice instead of giving me grief about how the car or motorcycle was too loud, too fast, or used too much of our precious natural resources.

most people say "nice car" and I say "thanks" with a nod and just turn and walk away or keep on walking. Every now and then I'll get someone who'll actually know what car it is or say "is that the 370Z?" and I'll spend a little time talking to them. Most are gas station attendants so I don't have much choice, haha. Anyways just don't pause in your actions (getting out of the car, walking away, getting in, etc), toss 'em an acknowledgment and be on your way. I don't think many people find it that rude, I mean if you have places to be you have places to be

If they are women, I obviously give them my number so we can discuss in-depth. If they're guys, I say "Thanks dude" and bolt.

Smart not shallow.

The only comment I got on my z was "Is that the new Mustang?" o_O

Had a guy compliment the black cherry paint. Said he had a caddy in that color.

Usually I get people asking how the 370 is different from a 350.

I talk their ears off. I'm in love with the damn thing. lol

If you don't want the 20 Questions, just answer nicely, but don't stop moving.

I have been quizzed about my car like when I am putting something in the trunk. I just answer and continue to load the trunk then shut it when finished and get in and go.

Unless they are good looking girl, then I invite them to dinner so we can talk more.

If its a chick or feminie looking guy I usally just tie them up and toss them into the trunk

Whenever its a chick, I don't mind spending the extra time Most of the time however, its just small talk, no more than a minute, so I don't mind.

One guy came up once and said "omg, i love you car. i love those wheels, i want to make love to them." i simply said "please use a condom" and walked into the store.

Thanks for the reply's guys it is greatly appreciated...the fedex guy even talked to me about it today.... lol... he was one his time thankfully, but he was also really cool in the fact he was like there are cops over here and here and da da da.... i was like thank you!

Anyone notice the sharp stare you get from police as you pass them in the opposite direction while you are making all your movements legally? It is interesting, i guess i am just not used to the amount of attention i am receiving. Time to be human and adapt and overcome.

It can be a pain sometimes but i try to stay friendly and say thanks.
I'm just thankful to own such a car. I'm not loaded by no means but what
hacks me off is when someone comes up to you at the gas pumps and
wants to borrow!!! 10 bucks for gas to get to the next town.
