[Milhouse]

My stock one doesn't but my modded one does, only to specific car enthusiasts

What about yours?

[zilley]

yeup, saw a bitch snapped her neck when she saw the driver in my car.

[CCA-Dave]

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?"

[underscore]

The GTFour RC turns a few, but since I know hardly anybody has a clue what it is I know some of them just think it's a loud Celica with a stupid hood :pokerface:

[EndLeSS8]

Current car - heck no, super generic looking, people think it's a Civic or a Corolla

Previous cars NSX and slammed S14 240SX - yes

[sdubfid]

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.

[Zordon]

Yes because my cube is lowered and I'm riding on gangster chrome 18s (came with the car).

[PandaDog]

My CRX? Nope, looks too subtle at the moment

My Del Sol? Hell yeah, it's loud. Broke more necks with fake rust and stickers all over the rear end

[smoothie.]

When the top is down people all looked

But they might have been thinking, "who's this retard top down in Feb?"

[Akinari]

Definitely turns heads from people who see and know what wheels I have on my car :lawl:

[maksimizer]

Is this thread s r s -_-

[death_blossom]

Is this thread s r s -_-

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.

[westopher]

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.

[belaud]

People's reaction:

[GS8]

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 :victory:

[E-SPEC]

This is all shit talk, until i see pics back it up.

[boostedcivic]

Yup when people see that Intercooler i usually get a oh shit and a double take

[E-SPEC]

Myself i have nothing special until my new purchase in a few months.

[kunoman1]

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

[bomiheko]

I specifically look for beetles so I can punch the guy next to me and call out punch buggy no punch backs!

[Inaii]

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 :lol

[Alby]

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.

[Mr.Stubbz]

my car cant turn heads because my car doesn't move :tears::QQ:

[westopher]

Maybe if they are walking past your car?

[Mr.Stubbz]

Maybe if they are walking past your car?

car at ts14s shop because noob driver blow rusty line . check out my car and tell me if it turn ur head :alone:

[KDMofo]

Driving past his car after he stalled :heckno:

Gen coupes get a lot of attention cause debadged, no one knows what the fuck it is.

[duy-]

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

driving around town blasting corb lund - truck got stuck while driving your lowered japanese imported vehicle.:fulloffuck:

[JesseBlue]

I put myself in people's blindspot so they have to turn their heads. If not, i honk at them so the forcibly turn their heads after

[Ikkaku]

yeah.. the heads turn... when they shake their head in disapproval.

[meme405]

driving around town blasting corb lund - truck got stuck while driving your lowered japanese imported vehicle.:fulloffuck:

Lets be honest here, most of the people on here would be more likely to be blasting Corb Lund - Student Visas

[asian_XL]

if I park my SLK and kids walk by it, they will point and say "convertible" or "dad, this car looks fast"

My car is a pedophile.

[!LittleDragon]

My Sontata turbo, no... I like it like that, goes by unnoticed.

MR2 Turbo, yes... Most of today's generation have no clue what it is and it's nostalgic for the older crowd. A few FRS owners asked if it was a new model and why they didn't see it in the showroom when they bought their car.

[tofu1413]

Unfortunately yes.

Got pulled over because of my big honking factory wing. "officer, its stock. and adjustable!!"

and the fact that any normal lancer driver / ricer or even some evo owners trying to drive faster / aggressively around me. yep.

unnecessary attention :okay:

[Oshiguru]

Yea I turn heads..but thats cause im an Asian guy blasting/belting country music

Yay i'm not the only one :alonehappy:

[Mr.C]

Only because of the exhaust. It's not exactly a chick magnet.

[Great68]

It's impossible to take my car out without turning a few heads, getting a few thumbs ups or getting a "NICE CAR" shouted at me.

Classic Car FTW

[underscore]

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

Back when I rented a limo with some friends for highschool grad I found a burned CD in it from a wedding so I took it with me. Turned out to be a shitload of rather catchy East Indian music so I tossed it in my car. The looks I got being a white dude blasting Indian music from my 92 Celica were priceless, especially from my Indian coworkers.

[a00755836]

turbo woosh...(peoples head slowly turns)

turbo woosh + PING! from my bpv valve (people sprain their necks)

[LeadFootLiam]

My Miata sometimes turns heads, I got tons of attention when I had a tongue hanging off it, people would stop and take pictures, laugh, stick their tongues out at it, lol. That was in the summer though, now less people notice me. One time a cute chick in DT wanted to hitch a ride with me, but I was already going too fast lol.

[denham]

My Miata mostly turned heads of little kids who loved it, and their fathers who were going through mid-life crisis and wanted a car like mine. I had one guy offer me his family in exchange for the Miata and I have the feeling he was only slightly kidding, haha.

But they might have been thinking, "who's this retard top down in Feb?"
I got this a lot too! Especially when I was out and it started raining and I was nearly home and too lazy to stop to put the roof up.

It also turned the heads of guys who were shouting "GAY!!" at me as they went by.

My Honda Fit turns no heads, except maybe turning them away.

[BBMme]

No but my license plate turn more heads =p

[asahai69]

i drive a mercedes in richmond. so almost never. stare downs do happen when they see im brown though.....

[white rocket]

Does the Type R turns heads? I suppose. It was more noticeable back in the day(2003-2009). Being a white dude people gave me the "Why aren't you driving a Mustang look?" Nowadays I'm not sure anyone cares. Personally, I really don't like the attention but my car barely sees any road time anymore anyway.

[jaemc]

Sorta stock. Only a few nods and thumbs ups once in awhile.

[Godzira]

I love breaking necks, getting asked questions at lights, gas stations, etc.



.... typing this out makes me realize I might be an attention whore.

[sonick]

Miata - yes only to other fellow Miata owners, 6 year old boys, and the occasional girl (okay that just happened twice).

E30 BMW - Yes to many BMW drivers but also general car guys as well. Even got one from a sport biker one time as well.

Protege5 - :fuckthatshit: I miss the high-beam flashes (or headlight popup in the case of Miatas), peace signs and waves :okay:

[jinxcrusader]

Abarth.. mostly stock. Turns heads because of the loud ass stock exhaust.
I love it :)

[em1.ac]

Nope, unless people like JDM right hand drives. I usually just get asked, "Why is your steering wheel on the right hand side? That's a weird car.."

[fsy82]

this thread is useless without pics..lol

[brrrz]

Its bright red with white wheels, people look

[tegra7]

EM1 with a b18c5 swap. Yes it turns heads. But I live in Surrey and work in Langley. The Surrey jacks (with the Chrysler 300s) and Langley truck guys laugh at me..

PS I am brown and love imports.

[SpartanAir]

Definitely, but more in a double take way. Because the Stagea isn't as flashy as say a 2 door sports car like a Skyline, most people just look at it quizzically and think it's a "souped up Subaru" or "definitely a Volvo, trust me" (actual quotes), and move on.

Just today I pulled up to a light and a woman did a full on double take, but mainly because I'm a RHD. Funny, I thought people were used to that by now...

The President, on the other hand...whole other story. Constant questions, stares and looky loos. I didn't mind at Nissan meets, but I don't have time to chat at the gas station.

Best comment I ever overheard: "Hey look, it's an Acura legend with a shitty body kit" :fulloffuck:

[GabAlmighty]

I drive a Ford Focus, probably the least head turnable vehicle around.

[R. Mutt]

I think in the 2.5 years I've owned the Evo I've gotten 4 thumbs up...all teenagers around 16-18 or so. I distinctly remember one kid looked like he was in a trance: eyes locked, staring as if nothing else mattered and the world melted away. That made my day because I remember doing the very same whenever I saw one of my favorite japanese sports cars as a teen.

Few things beat making someone's day because they love your car. ..it's a win/win. That said, I always make it a point to be as open with people as possible when they want to talk because if the owner was pleasant it made for a great experience. Conversely if they came off as arrogant dick it was hard to forget as well. I understand that to some people cars are a status symbol but calling yourself an ethusiast with that attitude makes you the furthest thing from one in my eyes. I always chuckle to myself when I ask someone about their car at a meet and they consistently respond with "to the point" one or two word answers :lol: guys playing all hard and tough at a meet...you'd swear there's a competition you don't know about. When I meet people like that it quickly differentiates the true enthusiasts from the attention seekers. Those that just want you to see and be impressed versus those who love cars and sharing that with others.

Other than meets and the arbitrary fellow tuner - most people are indifferent. I always assumed the car would get more looks because you don't see them much (8 and 9 models). I get more attention walking my dog than driving the car. To most it's just a Lancer with a big wing, and if I weren't an enthusiast myself Id probably think the same thing.

A 991 GT3 owner did come up to talk to me about my car after catching each other on the way back from Tofino...that was probably the most satisfying memory to date. I think he was a bit surprised on the stretch though I didn't take my chances with him on the twisties...precious cargo and best left for the track.

[amusegt1]

I drive a MINI GP. And the exhaust pops and bangs. Lots of stares and "WTF is that?" faces.

[Medina]

I always see people struggling trying to find out what my car is. Saw some guy actually stick his head out the window and look back at me once. I was just awkwardly looking at him.

[hud 91gt]

Yeah. The orange car get's eye F^&%ed by every early 20 year old woman....'s father. Maybe that's why my GF loves the car ;)

Never been one to try and stand out. I don't like the attention. But the old dudes go right back to their high school days when they see the orange thing go by.

[meme405]

It's hard not to...:facepalm:... when you see my car.

[BoostedBB6]

Yup, probably because you don't see many and gold wheels on a black car kind of stand out.

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3902/15310729846_d1bb7fa69b_o.jpg

[EndLeSS8]

^ nice setup. Where did you get the L-tuned/RS200 kit?

[Berzerker]

Most people just shook their heads at the big white dude in the Riced out Civic.

Berz out.

[BoostedBB6]

@EndLeSS8, sides and rear are OE Lexus L tuned, front is OE RS200 that is trimmed.......for a larger Ac condenser....yes that's it.

[PiuYi]

not usually, but one guy asked if i was selling it and told me to contact him if i ever do decide to sell it.... biggest compliment i've ever received :woot2:

[hotong]

nope

[Super Dipper]

Yup

[Traverse]

I never got around to painting my wheels so with red te37's on a black e90 i get alot of looks. I even got 2 thumbs up this weekend which had me and a buddy laughing pretty hard

[twitchyzero]

Definitely, but more in a double take way.

easy, just ride with your piglet :considered:

[The_AK]

*edit* Once in a while but definitely with my loud ass exhaust

[The_AK]

^love that shot!

[320icar]

I drive a Ford Focus, probably the least head turnable vehicle around.

maybe you just live in the wrong area dude. my focus maybe doesn't "break necks" but it definitely gets noticed. it doesn't get much attention from sti/evo people. yet the regular hatch crowd like GTI, imprezza, bmw tourings, mazda3's etc definitely take notice.

especially other ford people. a younger guy (in a new gt500) and i definitely exchanged some looks........... #nohomo


edit: my old vehicles definitely used to break necks. but im glad i dont do that anymore. dont always need the attention when you're just trying to get A to B

spoilered for bunch of pics

I seem to get some looks... one time I had it parked in gastown and I was sittin on the bench admiring it, aka on a date with a girl and these 3 guys started doing a walkaround - they thought it had racing slicks and stuff.. lol so sick
