I gotta admit, my car catches a lot of attention, especially with my rice mods.
Here are a few example encounters:

-A kid actually managed to hit his head on my wing when walking past my car in a parking lot.
-When I was walking towards my car a couple of days ago, I saw a fucking pigeon using my wing as a park bench and just resting there.
-Once, when I was shifting, my BOV sound scared this lil kid riding his lil bicycle on the sidewalk a few meters ahead and he fell.

Other than that, I've seen all types of people looking at my car. I'm ok with people checking it out, but if they start touching shit I'll get a bit paranoid.

Well that's like when I'm at a restaurant and can see my car out the window. If somebody walks by, I keep watching them until they walk away.
I highly doubt I'm the only one.

StylinRed 06-10-2010 06:29 AM

people dont really look at my DD as much which is even more surprising


but i dont care unless its chicks then im like "yeee haaaw"

It's hard to go a day when driving the Mustang without seeing smiles, thumbs-ups, fist pumps, people screaming "NICE CAR", photos being taken, or people going out of their way to check out the car. I'm pretty used to it, and give them a nod and a smile back.

There's always a few people that will give you the "LIGHT 'EM UP" and "BURNOUT" followed by the stupid rolling hand gesture. Those are the ones I ignore.

The Mazda gets no looks. I like it that way actually, bit of a sleeper.

i get an orgasm

i have a black bugeye wrx with bbs lm reps......it sdits in my garage most of the time cause it needs a new 3rd gear but when i pull it out to wash or to transport my neighbor always asks me if i bought a new car.....gd damn he's seen it 100 times at least but to him its always different..........yet he still says he loves it....i get a lot of compliments on the bbs reps especially from vw owners....then they ask if i want to sell them, so i say no.

but i dont mind having ppl look at the car...i didnt do any of the mods but hey it still feels nice to be noticed a little i guess.

When I check out people's cars. I try to do so subtly, so that drivers don't get
the satisfaction of saying, "Hey, I just saw some guy checking out my car."

And I also get as disappointed that I don't get to drive one... I pretend I don't care.

never give them your reaction.

Only old people (male and female alike) notice my car lol. I.E. My friends' parents, and the middle aged ladies at the McDonalds DriveThru I go to every morning.

!Yaminashi 06-10-2010 11:10 AM

I love when people check out my car, its not fast but I think its the orange on the wheels that catches ppl's attention.

I've even caught a few people walking by and taking pics when its parked outside my house. But when I see a riced out car its almost impossible NOT to stare..

Heavy_user 06-10-2010 11:23 AM

I usually take it as a compliment when people check out my car. Except if the person looking at it looks like a car thief or vandal

Gh0stRider 06-10-2010 11:27 AM

depends what their thinking..."NIIIICE" or "RIIIIIICE"

q0192837465 06-10-2010 12:21 PM

I dun get any looks and my car isnt stock. No 1 wants to play with me.

Dragon-88 06-10-2010 12:55 PM

I love my car even thought its pretty much all stock and slow a shit(Hell its loss to a kia rios).. Its great for baiting.. I do lots of HWY driving and theres always someone who doesnt want to go as slow as a corolla so they always pass me.. No problem I will follow you until the next person comes flying by and ill go and chase them.. I always keep my distance though and it always takes awhile for the guy infront to find out i'm not trying to race him but i'm using him for bait.. Like always the cops pull the first guy over then see's a corolla behind him and lets the asian in the corolla go... GO ROLLA!

Phil@rise 06-10-2010 01:16 PM

I love my truck and when people like it I get all warm and fuzzy. I even had some old chinese guy in a suit ask if he could get in it and if I could use his camera to take a picture of himself.

freakshow 06-10-2010 01:46 PM

I used to get a ton of looks in the S14.5.. those were fun times.
Now, the poor BMW gets me nothing.. it just looks like an old car.

Although there was this one time I got pissed off after a guy tailgated me in his mazda..

since my car has aftermarket replacement factory badges and a aftermarket grill etc...people come up to me and ask "what kind of car is that!!!???!?!?!?" and i say "sonata... hyundai..." and they say "oh..." .............:D

gearshifter 06-10-2010 05:33 PM

I love it when I pull up beside some guy and his girl in the car at a red light and the girl can't stop eyeing my car... hahahah :D

kookoobird88 06-10-2010 05:46 PM

My exhaust always grabs attention....it's supposed to be one of the quietest but is still pretty loud. I see people turn there head 45degrees then stop lookin after that. Sometimes I get stared down almost when I'm at a intersection or turning right. But once vtec kicks in everybody's heads are turnin' yo!!

Dentz 06-10-2010 07:16 PM

I get a pretty decent amount of attention in mine, but I think that's due to my exhaust (the car has a stock exterior, but a very loud exhaust). I'm pretty indifferent about the attention it gets, and if they talk to me I'm always polite and courteous back; to me a car is always just a car.

sleazyho 06-10-2010 07:30 PM

No one looks at my car (its a stock volvo). But once I give it a wash I get a couple stares :confused:
