A simple thank you, compliment back if it is of any sporting pedigree. When asked how much I simply quote how much I would sell it for. Not what I got it for haha.

I say thanks, though it hasn't happened yet with the box. I do find myself being looked at more than ever, but possibly because I have the top down regardless of outside temp. No one has said poo to me in person, but it's just a garden variety black on black S model.

I get compliments on my 14 year old bmw occasionally. Mostly from 14 year olds.

But I get compliments every damn time I ride my Triumph motorcycle. Not sure why, since it sold in miserable quantities. But it turns out to be a serious dude (unfortunately) magnet every time it's parked and often in traffic. It is a great bike, but the reactions are curious. My girlfriend rolls her eyes every time someone chats me up over it.

My 68 El Camino SS396 gets lots more comments than the 986 (which gets zero comments- fine with me)

Humps

Always when humps are on everyone breaks their neck looking. Funny thing, my son says car looks better without...seems like the general consensus on the forum as well. Usually nod back, waive, thank you or say how affordable they are,which drives my wife nuts. She says just say thank you

It's rare that I drive mine without getting comments. I always say thanks.
