Anyone getting compliments or negative remarks on your cars? - Page 3

laynlo15 · 04-01-2016, 05:34 AM

I've had lots of great comments especially at the drag strip last weekend. Many didn't know it was actually a 16 but they all knew how fast it was. Most thought I had a bunch of mods to run 12.0's but were totally surprised to see it was bone stock. The new Mustang I ran and romped on my first pass was probably salivating when we pulled up to the line, his dad was doing a video of us running, I'm thinking they really knows how bad it is since he was a 1/2 second behind all the way down the track.

Who cares? I've driven Subaru's almost all my life and get crap because of that. What difference does it make what others say?

Wow.

I've gotten tons of attention in the 2 weeks I've owned my car. Almost all of it from guys. Just filling her up at the gas station, I was approached by 2 people!

No negative comments, but I have gotten a couple of dirty looks from Gen 5 owners surprisingly enough...

I have a 15 Subaru Crosstrek as a DD and everyone wants to drive it. As long as I'm happy, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I get weird conversation.

Stranger:
Nice car you mind if I take a look?
Me:
Go ahead!
Stranger:
How much did it cost?
Me:
You can price on the Chevy website.
Stranger:
How much did you pay for it?
Me:
Website
Stranger:
Cmon man!
Me:
MSRP is around 46k
Stranger:
What are your notes?
Me:
I don't know you!
Stranger2:
What kind of engine?
Me:
LT1
Stranger2:
No that's not right can't be.
Me:
Yes it is I promise.
Stranger2:
No
Me:
Google it!
Stranger1:
Hey stranger2 you know he paid 46k for this?
Stranger2:
Wow that's a lot of money what kind of work do you do and how much are your notes?
Me:
I don't know you people.... -Finish gassing car and promise myself to never be that friendly again.-

I get an average of three compliments a day from all kinds of people. Mostly for the color and sound of the engine. Not so much about how much I paid for it since they know that's kind of personal. Car people really appreciate the new Camaro. They'll be a new "kid" on the block soon so I'll just eat up the compliments while I get them. It's a good feeling.

You couldn't be more wrong.....Maybe where you're from...But not this 50 something lady. I've only owned T/A's and Camaro SS most of my life. Most of my girlfriends have a 5th gen or 6th Gen SS, and a few have the new Stingray Z06. The car speaks to whomever is listening, be it men or women, and yes I love puppies and kittens too, but I am a lady gearhead and proud of it.

Am I the only one around here tired of being told it looks like a Mustang?

Female driver here. Love mine. I get lots of looks and compliments about the car. A co-worker made the comment last week that my car looks scary/intimidating in the parking lot and asked if that is what I was going for when I bought it. lol...sure?

Took me a while to figure out "notes" is some weird term for payments. Never heard it referred to that way.
