What Kind of Attention Does Your Car draw?

[Mark_T]

When I drive it to job sites some of the trades guys will say things like "Wish I had your job" and I usually reply "Why, so that you too can drive a 13 year old car worth considerably less than a Nissan Sentra?" They tend not to believe me.

I get ricer pilots wanting to race - I ignore them. When they try to tell me how much faster their car is I say, "Yeah, but no matter how fast your car is, it's still just another ricer." They never seem to have a good comeback to that one.

Here in my part of Idaho (actually anywhere in Idaho) these cars seam to be somewhat rare. Yes we do see others, but certainly not on every street corner. People are always pleasant and have nice things to say. We even had one older gent ask us about our Ferrari. The funny thing is when at a traffic light we get all sorts of comments from folks. From "nice car" to "wanna race". It comes from many drivers in tuners to folks who want to race who are in huge tricked out diesel p/u trucks. We have a lot of those here. It seams like Idaho has more dirt roads than paved roads.

I get thumbs up from a kid, glance from incoming traffic and one time this car is following me from the other lane and noticed the driver checking out my Box. This car really gets attention and I love it.

I get that often too. People see the Porsche badge and think my 2000 base Boxster must cost as much as a house.

Monster (big) truck drivers think small cars are slow..not this car with a badge with "Stuttgard" written on it.

Sounds like you need a new badge.
