Stares, photos, and shouted questions when the top is down! All good! Kind of surprised, actually.

In seriousness, the vast majority of the attention my car gets is from tailgaters and while getting gas. I have come out from paying and on more than one occasion had people taking pictures of it.

I personally don't care for any attention towards me myself, but I love it when the car itself gets attention.

Very attractive cars so comes with the package. My favorite part is watching people with BMWs and Audis trying to pretend they don't notice. Drop a couple gears and give em some pipe.

Staring seems normal, especially since mine is a bright color. The thing that baffles me is the engine revvers. What is the point of revving your engine, making yourself look like a total poser, to get my attention? Mostly been Chargers, Mustangs, Camaros, and jacked up trucks. Whenever they get near me in traffic or at a stop light they start revving their engines. I had a Viper go batshit crazy the other day trying to get through traffic to get next to me only to pull along side and rev his engine next to me.

When they are revving their engines they are approving of your car.

Young women keep on lifting their tops and mooning me when I am in my vert--wish they would stop.

(and wish this was true)

Had a guy in a Camaro come rushing past me on I-40. He slowed, revved his engine (NOT a standard exhaust) and went on. Guess I was supposed to be impressed.

P.S. I wasn't.

Yep! 99 times out of 100 they are just "talking" to a fellow car enthusiast in the common language of power- engine note!
