I'd give a finger in exchange of that kind of looks, but fortunately (and for the moment) the only 'looks' i get is from teenagers trying to come on board for a ride...

I still get many comments from people that admire the car, but I've noticed a definite increase in rolled eyes and turned up noses.
When I drive my vette the looks I get are WOW! Your driving the dream! That may have something to do with the area I live in which is motor sport central, Hickory NC!The birth place of Nascar!!!

Haven't really noticed "the look", probably because I don't care what anyone else thinks, plus with all the SUV's and extended cab pick-ups here, (not to mention Vettes and other sport cars)why should I be singled out?
Those that do complain need a deeper understanding of what the letters KMA mean.....
