I was making some maneuvers on highway from work and this nice Cts v coupe pretty much copies my moves and eventually gets beside me. All of a sudden I hear nice rumble and he takes off.

I've had my Z (Zora) for about two weeks now. The day I picked her up I stopped to grab some food with my brother and there was a group of young kids riding bikes around the parking lot. As I pulled into a parking spot one of the kids was like "OH MY GOD! I WANT THAT CAR!!!" We both laughed but it was kind of a cool moment for me. It's not like the car is a 458 Italia or anything but it made me realize how lucky I am.
I have had PLENTY of looks but I live in a very rural town that is not affluent by any means. The other day I stopped at my local liquor store and this middle aged couple pulled up in a newer Malibu next to me and just stared at the car. The dude driving gets out of the car and he is at least 6'3" 230 and then his MILF of a wife walks by and is checking it out. I go inside shortly after and they both were very nice and complimented the car. The husband makes a remark about probably not being able to fit in it and I agreed with him! I agree with some of the posts in this thread. In some areas it is almost embarrassing that people think the car is some high priced exotic. |

Last weekend I was @ a night tuner meet where there were a bunch of wankers. One group in particular was the saddest of them all, their fastest car was a mazda 3.
A guy from the group walked over to me and asked me to run them. I was like nah im good. Then they kept insiting, I was like nah im str8. I told them, you guys do you I do me, not interested in running it with you or your peeps. But him and his group kept insisting. I was like "You wont win, give up!" But I did thank em for the compliment they gave me when they were drooling over my car. |

I've modded most of the exterior now. In fact, I think the doors are the only oem parts left. So I get a full range of reactions, from 'OMG, what is that'! To full on head scratchers, to.... is that a Porsche? Over the years I'm used to pretty much every comment and reaction, although recently one of my favourites was a middle aged well dressed woman entering the lobby of a 5 star hotel doing a full head turn, then walked back to where I was parked at the round-about entrance, stood next to me and exclaimed, 'That is such a beautiful car'! So unlikely a source.... just blew me away.

Middle age is when you talk to your parents, the same way you talk to your kids.

(Edited "BMWs are cars" to "BMWs as cars" I didn't mean to imply they're for older people, but I think lots of people attach that stigma to them.) Last edited by ElVee; 03-29-2013 at 10:22 AM. |

Unless you're a car guy (or girl), 90% of the Benz's and BMW's look alike and aren't anything special. It's only us who can see the certain class of Benz (or AMG), M series, etc. will gawk or recognize them.
