I was pumping gas and this new Ford F-150 pulls up beside me with a 15-16 year old girl driving with her dad in the passenger seat. He goes in to pay and she starts waving, smiling. I look around for who she is waving to, I'm mid 50's so not use to teenagers waving me down... she rolls down the window and say nice car, what year etc.. I tell her thanks as dad is walking back up. She says something to her dad and then gets out and asks if she can take pictures of my car. Here I thought it was just because I'm a stud 😜

Nothing but compliments for my Summit White 16 vert. I traded in an original 2001 BMW X5 for the Camaro; bought the SUV when it was the very first one for BMW. Pretty much had the only one around for a couple of years in Dallas; valets would park it in the display spots. And yet I've gotten more compliments and remarks -- all positive -- in the first month with my 'vert than in 15 years with the X5.
I've had women bring a pickup truck to a screeching halt in the street to tell me they love my car. When I put the top up or down people stop and watch. I've even had the old ladies at my mom's retirement community asking "Who's the guy in the cute convertible?" Cjf |

Mostly positive but i went to my first car show with her, it was a bad turnout but no one wanted to talk to me about it, and just gave me dirty looks. Someone was there was a 2015 SS vert with his son who looked about my age and they just hovered about 5 feet away looking at me over there shoulder. Some old guy with a 1968 z/28 was like these cars are just dumb, they pull low 12's on the quarter mile and have air conditioning.
Was rather disappointing.... just wanted to start going to car shows with my girl (car = girl) |

It's sad to see that happening at a car show, where you should meet car people... true car people never dis-respect other people's car, because they know that, if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this is particularly true for cars.

I had a similar experience at a show in 2015 with my '14 1LE (now traded for 6 gen SS) and none of the club members I went there with were talking to me or really looking at the car. Felt so out of place, as I was 1 of 4 5 gens to show, I guess most people didn't realise what the 1LE was.
As for the compliments in the 6 gen, I noticed it's mainly cougars smiling and giving compliments, the Flowmaster Outlaw probably helps to get there attention a lot faster lol |

On the road trip, I actually had people pull into car washes (we washed the car at the end of the day) and give comments. At one café, a man and his wife walked out and she said that she wanted to trade the husband for the car. It was all in good fun, but there were a lot of very positive comments all along the way.
The best was meeting up with the Mustang owners in the Badlands. Great compliments all around. Yes, in the Badlands National Park, pretty far from anywhere.

Last night heading into a liquor store a guy standing outside said. "The profile of your car looks great!"
I thought wow what an interesting compliment. Most people just say "nice car". Walking out of the store just a minute later the guy who was in line before me was bent over at the waste checking out the wheels and looking the car over. When I came out he asked "is this a Camaro?" He obviously liked it....can't remember what else he said. few days ago a group of kids (boys and girls around 13 years old) were standing at a bustop and one of the boys called out "I really like your car" as I was driving by. It's a really slow street and I had the windows down. Know I've posted in this thread before. But it happens all the time. edit: Actually met and befriended a female coworker who absolutely loves my car. She asks to trade cars, threatens to steal it, and literally tells other coworkers "he has the nicest car". It's almost embarrassing.
