1) She sounds immature in some way.
2) Your description of the youth aka: "punk", hat backwards baggy pants etc. makes you sound like an old fart. And this is coming from a guy some kids might call an "Old dude." |

I would say yes, but they shouldn't. The two owners of the company I work for drive Ford pickup trucks yet they are each worth over 100 million dollars. You wouldn't even know it if you saw them.

If any of us saw a 370 that looked like it had not been washed since it was purchased, covered in excrement, and dirt. What are the chances we would compliment the driver or car? Diminished certainly.

Dont act like any of us wouldnt do the same exact thing if somebody drove by in an Integra or Civic with a loud muffler on it and wing.
Most would think: Ricer It could be somebody that bought it used as is because that is all they can afford. Sterotypes and judging happens everyday and is part of our daily lives unfortunately. Its just what we seem to do. |

Really? On a convertible sports car? I'm surprised a chick would think a punk drives it, its a classy car.
I know when I got mine just a lot of people were surprised it was mine and impressed at work (lot of people aren't driving anything special or have no car at all) People who know me knew it fit my personality and didn't expect anything less lol.

Her cousin probably has a 350Z, next thing she will tell you is, "My cousin has the same car!"
In other words, she sounds like an idiot. What people think of your car depends on their exposure to the automobile world, how impressionable they are regarding cars/material possessions, and money. Ages of both parties will have a strong influence as well. The average guy on the highway thinks you're wealthy if you drive a used BMW, even though a brand new Hydundai is more expensive. Most girls (and less masculine men) are hopeless since they have been wrongly conditioned to think that only high end luxury cars are worth any praise, and that Miatas are gay. The list goes on.

She probably thinks it's a 350z....in which case, the hat and baggy jeans stigma might be justified.
