At a gas station. My car was doing that "stop trying to put gas in me, I'm going to keep shutting off the pump" thing and I had no choice but to talk to the attendant (you can't pump your own gas in Oregon). He asked me why I would buy a Japanese car. I asked what he drove and he said Scion. My brain imploded from the sheer ignorance of his statement and I couldn't respond. I just stared at him and drooled until he finished filling my tank.
He didn't close my gas cap cover either. I think it was on purpose.

Holy Thread Ressurection!
I was driving down the street in my black nismo and a kid turns to his mom and says
"Mom looks its the Batmobile!"
I actually find it really awkward when you are stopped at a light and the people crossing infront of you are blatently staring at your car. I always just pretend to play with the radio or something.

Or pick up my phone and make it look like I'm doing something. This prevents me from staring back at them and causing an awkward moment.

Only real car entusiasts really snap their neck because normal people just think its just another BMW with different wheels, with a giant inside out dent in the hood.
They did an experiement on Fifth Gear or Top Gear a while ago and they placed a Mercedies SLR, Rolls Royce (I think) and a Lambo on the same street for an hour each, and the Lambo which cost about $200,000 less than the other 2 got by far the most looks just because its so radical looking.

Haha the batmobile...I'd look right at him and say which one...old school or new you little punk" that could possibly be an insult. hehe
I do the same thing though..Its weird to have people looking at you at stop lights..so I just change my music or pretend Im looking for something.
