First head turning experience
Had my first head turner this afternoon. I was out putting some break in miles on it, sitting at a yield left turn light waiting on traffic to clear. I hear a "wooooo!" On the right side of the car only to look over and see a young guy in a early 2000's Mustang GT leaning half way out of the driver side of the car giving a fist pump for like 5 seconds. I don't see how he didn't hit the curb. Must have been a passenger holding the wheel.
Regardless of the dangerous situation, I hit the horn and went on about my way.

It definitely feels good to know some people appreciate the cars we work so hard to own and maintain.
Heck, I've even had kids come up to us and say "cool car dude!"
I also had that happen a lot when I had a 2010 Camaro SS right after the Transformers movie came out. All I heard was "Bumblebee!!!" lol

I've spent a lot of time answering questions in parking lots at the coffee shops we frequent. Hardly a day passes by that I don't get someone taking a pic , wanting to ask questions, giving a thumbs up even from the other direction. They pull up to you on the hiway and sit beside you a bit then thumbs up and away they go. Had a lady in a Jeep follow me into a parking lot (not because she was going there) and had to know what kind of car it was, told her , she claimed it was the most beautiful car she had ever seen. Really is amazing the reaction this car brings, personally I like the smiles that light up when kids on their bicycles see it, they can't help it, just a happy car

I have noticed more reactions recently than back in spring when I purchased the car. Thumbs up, nice car, I only had one individual actually stop and ask me questions. No race challenges, a Toyota revved his engine as the car passed me, not quite sure what that meant.
