I get them constantly. Once I've had a guy hanging out of a sunroof waving his arms to get my attention. Another time I heard a little kid scream Bumblebee as I went by(mind you my cars not even yellow lol). And another time a guy pulled into a gas station I had stopped at and was walking around my car. As I walked up to my car he said that they(2 other people were in his truck) saw me up the road and wanted to hear me start it lol

I got out, and he had the window rolled down, just looking at my car. His eyes kind of glazed over as he looked at the car, and he got a look on his face that was so sweet, like he was looking at my car and thinking about some other place in time, you know? Like remembering maybe when he had a first gen or something. I just think it's really cool when people get that look, the nostalgia. This car hits home for a lot of people and brings back cool memories! Anyway, he looked up at me and smiled and said, "you have a beautiful car, young lady." So... yeah. My best compliment. What's yours?

I get that almost on a daily basis , these cars are head turners

Had tints done on my car. Went back for a small air bubble. After he fixed it , I thanked the guy who ran the tint shop and he said "No Problem. Stop by any time, I love to stare at your car!!"

also stopped at a store, parked way out in the lot, came back to see 4 people gathered around my car , one taking pictures! when I got to the car they all said nice car and one guy tells me I did a great job on it, especially the wheels. I didn't have the heart to tell him that is all stock!! LOL....

Once I was driving across town with my girlfriend and a kid with his father is looking over and i see a phone come up to the window as i was falling back, so i made my way through traffic and got up next to them just so he could get his picture and after he had a hug smile on his face and gave me a thumbs up. Then while returning from drill, a teenage girl had her tablet up to the window recording me, so i fell back, turned my lights on (As it was daytime) and flew by them. The best would be when I went to drill for the first time with it, and I walk into the admin office, and no one says a thing after seeing my car on the gate camera, then a sergeant goes, "So Horton, how in the h@#$ can you afford a yellow camaro?" and I look over at my platoon sergeant and he looks at me all wide eyed and his jaw drops, then says, "That's your f&^*in bumblee bee out there? What are you selling? It's gotta be the good stuff..."

I just died laughing... And now, whenever we are just standing around with others talking about cars, he goes, "Yea, all the while, little lance corporal Horton over here, drives a motherf&*^in bumblebee..." and the cycle repeats... feels great...


OK, last one... on the first floor of the building I work in, there is a preschool, and once it was time to leave, I went to move my car to the front of it to stay and do some over time. After I park, I get out and here a crowd of kids but see nothing... I look up and in the window, there is atleast 20-25 sitting there jumping and shouting and waving... Best feeling ever!

Pulling out of a gas station, two red headed kids not more than ten years old that were sitting in the passenger seat of a pickup had their faces plastered to the window with their mouths gaping and giving me a thumbs up. My wife thought it was the funniest thing in the world, I just smiled and waved as I peeled out of there. The kids loved it and it made my day

I park next to an Audi A5 coupe at work because I can tell the driver is picky about his car. After work one day we ran into one another. He said nice car, I've been wondering who drove it. He then proceeded to gush about how I can park next to him all of the time and he'll make sure to take good care of it (no bashing the door, etc). It was a very nice and mutual gesture.

Was at a stop light next to a 13' RS vert with his top down. We both give the wave and take off. At the next light I hear his girlfriend in the car say. "Why doesn't yours sound like that? Its all roooahhh"

The weekend after I installed my exhaust, intake and tune, I stopped at a gas station for a drink. When I went to leave, three guys (maybe 20-25) were walking by and I fired it up. The one said, "Man, that things got some snot!". They all gave a thumbs up.
