Do NOT buy a NISMO

If you:

• dont like attention
• are out of points on your drivers license
• dont like answering questions from non-car-people
• are an intravert
• dont like to be stared at
• dont like higher insurance premiums

The list goes on and on. Yes, I say most of these things in jest but people still crack me up. I don't have a personality that craves or enjoys being the center of attention but this car makes it happen more often than I have ever had with all of my previous cars combined. I've never had a car generate so many looks and questions from complete strangers. Some of them are real zingers. Here are a few of my favorite:

-When walking in to a restaurant a family of four are in front of us. As we wait to talk to the hostess the lady in front of us leans over and whispers to me “I like your car...”. I hadnt even seen them in the parking lot.

-When leaving the restaurant a man approaches as I open the door and says with excitement “Is that the new Porsche!”.

-While waiting in the car at the grocery store for my wife an older gentleman approaches, stops, stares, then walks over to the window. He says “Is it as much fun as it looks?” I reply “Yes, it is a lot of fun.” He continues “I know what you mean I used to own a Mitsubishi Eclipse...”

So, what are your interesting moments from complete strangers? (yes, regarding your car)
