I get tired of the same questions constantly. V6? where'd you get it? how much it cost?

I like the few people who are nice enough to just say nice ride or wave at me. Anything more than that is annoying after the first week.

And people who stop in the middle of the road or nearly wreck because they want to stop next to me and motion for me to roll down my window are freakin asshats.

For someone who's out of college but not yet over the hill, it also gets depressing to see that almost no one of your own demographic takes any real interest in the car. And as stated above, it's a d**k magnet, not chick magnet.
Um I assume you mean people in their 20's and 30's? Those are the majority of people that stop me. I also get younger people like 12 to 18 yo who take pictures of the car. I also get stopped by people in their 40's and 50's. So this car actually attracts all ages, but like I said, mainly of the male genre.

Not true..I haven't had one chick come over and drool on my car..but the guys do come over and gawk..at the car. Every guy I've talked to likes the color..I even asked one guy if he though. It was a chick color..he said "hell no" then pointed to his vette that is aqua..
Anyway.
I don't mind looking..I mind touching. Alot. I try to keep my car where I can see it if possible and hit the panic button if someone touches it..lol..it's great fun

As far as ABM goes, not one guy I've met has said they aren't in love with this color..ages in 20's to 60's...men and women of all ages stop me to ask about the car, am I tired of it? No. I hope I sell a few for GM..I think my wife likes the attention it gets more than me, and she's not a "car person".

What you are getting now will probably wear off by the end of the year when dealers start getting an inventory and you see them all the time like the Rustang...

Enjoy it while it last...will be good memories later on down the road!
lol, that is funny. Thank you for stopping by here is your free rockstar energy drink.

I don't mind the attention at all...

If I did mind it, my paint job would have been a poor choice.. lol

I've had a few people come to personally see my car because they wanted to see the ABM in person before they order. 3 out of 4 people have decided to order it in that color. The other person loved it but decided to get Summit White.

This car's hype will likely last for the next year or so. It will never be as common as a Mustang which has been produced year after year by Ford.

Also, depends on the color. I think folks with the rare colors are going to see their hype last even longer.

Folks who have Yellow with Black Stripes are going to be mobbed this week. Have fun!

you want him to drive with his shirt off? That is a weird request, but I'm not sure that it would help.
