I seem to be invisible to cops, maybe my car has a factory option cloaking device...
I get a lot of compliments from guys, but only a handful of ladies seem impressed (unless they are just playing hard to get)
But around where i live, every young guy with a ricer try's to race me, usually to impress their female passenger. It takes everything in me to not show off hah.

Wanna race?

My 2001 boxster is my daily driver and the top is down every chance I get I just love the wind as I'm motoring around town. Everyone looks at me like I'm some Hollywood star, LOL . I hate being stared at so I ignor them and do not give eye contact. In my small town everyone wants to race. There are many types of cars also from supercharged MG's to BMW, tons of ricers. Now here is the crazy part, the Wife and I try to get lost in the countryside and Big 4X4 Driver comes up on us wanting to have a go at it. I love driving fast and we all know this car does it better than most so that said I will not lead crazy or drunk guy into a corner he can not handle. So go ahead and stare me down, rev your motor, ride my ass. When I'm doing what I love to do its all worth it.

You are setting a fine example. Unfortunately there are too many people out there that race to the scene of their own accident

I get many young guys trying to race me, telling me to rev the engine or do a burnout, or they just want to see me accelerate. Usually not with ricers, but with clean 350z's, Scion tC's, WRX's, Mustang's and Camaro's, and Civic Si's. I usually cave in to my temptations and show em what I got.
