Overwhelming attention
I can't drive to the convenience store and park outside, and not get held up by someone asking questions or complementing on my car. <IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"></P>
It doesn't **** me off, but I don't always have 20 minutes to spare talking up a storm with someone. Does anyone else get tired of it after a while? <IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"></P>

I get the same thing all the time Dan. It starting to be annoying. The car is still stock and I don't even want to think of what is going to happen when I start modding it. My friend just got his headers on his LS1 to complete the exhaust and the thing is sick loud. We stood in a parking lotfor almost an 1/2 hour because people kept coming over when we were trying to leave!

Geez, I cant wait to get exhaust on my car, it should be here any day now. I can see how that would be annoying after a while. Just tell people its your mom's car and you don't know anything about it or something.

With the back seat plastic missing and the roof completely removed I don't get stopped by anybody but true gear heads. And I don't mind talking to them.

On a side note I can't find my hood pins. I think they're in my tool bag, but where did that go??!
Oh, and my personal bit of advice for today - don't drive around with the speedo cable removed. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">

Try making your bad attitude alittle less apparant <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>
Anyways, in response to the more intelligent users...I think my exhaust & dark windows attract the attention. That's exactly what grabbed my attention with this car when I saw it coming back from the detail shop at the dealership. </P><edited><editID>Dan02GT</editID><editDate>37875.0398263889</editDate></edited>
