The rally bug definitely turns heads...but sometimes annoyingly. Any beetle seems to cause people over a certain age to turn their head, but the rally beetle reaction is a mix between people who think it's just a stickered-up vw, "herbie" or a true reaction of "what the hell is that?"
Turns heads only because the sound of a volkswagen diesel in a suzuki. So many people ask "is that a diesel?" It should be pretty damn obvious it's diesel.
But they might have been thinking, "who's this retard top down in Feb?"

I'm with you. we mod our cars to enjoy, not to impress others. but it's ok, as ppl who buy cars and mod them for that reason quickly realize they don't have their heart in it, and get out of the game.
to answer the OP: sometimes. usually enthusiasts will pay attention to my car, otherwise normal ppl don't take a second look.
I don't agree that people ONLY mod cars for themselves. As social beings we will strive for acceptance from others in everything we do. Its the reason people wear nice clothes, get hair cuts, work out, take photos of themselves, post on social media, etc. If we didn't we wouldn't be posting here. I love it when people compliment my car and want to shoot the shit about it. Ultimately, I do it for myself, but if everyone thought it looked like shit I'd very likely be reconsidering what I was doing with it.
To answer the original question, its a very specific person that is interested my car. Those that are interested however are usually very interested.

The Holden? I think so. It's so obviously modded but I don't look at people looking at me (unless it's out of the corner of my eye). But I do take some satisfaction in knowing that you'll more likely see an Aventador than you will a G8.
Also it depends on what part of town I'm in. Out in the valley, a lot of people will look. Over here, it just depends.
The Buick? Yeah people stare because they just don't expect what's making that whiny sound
Yea I turn heads..but thats cause im an Asian guy blasting/belting country music with all my windows open (Exhaust leak) in all weather. Everyones too confused

I specifically look for beetles so I can punch the guy next to me and call out punch buggy no punch backs!
Only if they're kids under 10 or other rotards. The kids REALLY like the flip ups for some reason... 3-5yo boys will usually stop dead in their tracks and watch the car go by. It's really cute

my britax stroller whip definitely turns heads. it comes with 3 cup holders and seats 2 kids. they see not one kid on top but another one on the bottom. they always say the same thing, this would be useful back in my days when i had kids.
my car cant turn heads because my car doesn't move
