I see buy American stickers all the time. I did see this Saturn commercial awhile back about Saturn making cars that people want ........................well long story short Saturn has been dropped like it was hot.

Next time tell them you don't want a cheap car.

Leaving my parking space at the grocery store today a girl was walking with her dad and pointed at my car and said "I want that car for my sixteenth birthday!" The dad said "Yeah, it's nice. We'll see." I hope not...

I haven't had any negative issues. Just some ricer fly-bys occasionally from people who think I want to race.

When I do get compliments, I have said, "You could buy 1 cheap," or "Its my brother's car," and "I rather have a truck (lie)." Luckily, I haven't had problems mainly because I don't drive to work.

Maybe if I can make enough useless posts I can get my post count up, and people will think I'm a somebody. I hope this works.

Hope that works out for you buddy.

Thanks . That's mine, the OP. I think I went too far with modding, now I can't drive it without getting too much attention. I can name more and more situations but wanted to keep the original post short.

Wow, your car looks amazing. The reason hate is because they are way jealous.

My car is still new to me, so I still love getting the attention, and I don't get THAT much, my car is stock....although its the LeMans Sunset color.

The place where I get ALL kinds of attention is when I drive it around my small college's campus. EVERYbody wants to see who's driving the "orange soprts car".

This happened today. My girlfriend and I are walking out of the grocery store. We are about 100 to 150ft from the car and a lady is walking towards us and says "is that your black car?". At first I'm not getting what she is saying then I say yes and she says "it's gorgeous!".

She was parked near it. Since I parked by myself and we were in there for a while she could not have seen us get out of it. Why she picked us to ask.....I don't know.

Ohh and here is another attention getting black Z

Bomber, very nice wheels and smoked tails. It seems the black Z's are getting quite an amount of attention, whether it be jealous dumb ***** or old ladies. I wonder what looks a white Z blacked out would get (storm troopered lol).

About 3 or 4 months ago, a cop pulled me over. He couldn't pop the truck.
He said "How do you open the truck?"
