I got mine when was 21, I'm 22 now and I've gotten jelous "one upper" jerks that try to get into "my **** is bigger" contests in front of people. I've also had busloads of kids who just want me to rev it at a stop light and go crazy when I do. Thumbs up for the most part, but somethimes people are wired. I've also had a cobra guy stick his tongue out at me recently.....

The thumbs down are from the tree huggers who think you burn lots of fossil fuel. A fast car has to burn lots of gass, right? They thumbs down you, get in their Hummer and drive away.
