There is this cute little girl in my neighborhood about 6 years old. Just about everyday she rides her bike by and yells, "nice car!". A few days ago I heard this little voice behind me when I was washing the car and it was her, she said ,"do you really need to wash your car everyday?" I just laughed, I was like listed to this little **** breaking my chops.
I said yes, she said "why?" I said because I drive very far everyday and it gets dirty. she said," where do you go?" I said I drive to Jersey everyday (PA to Jersey commute, about 50 miles each way). She said ,"Oh. I don't know WHO Jersey is but you have a nice car".
Priceless!

The best one was early one morning going to work, top down,
a black teenager is crossing the street (Mac Arthur Blvd in Oakland) and says " I really like your car man", pauses as he crosses in front, I nod acknowledgement, then he says "Yeah, my Grandmother has one just like it." .
LMAO

Today I was leaving my campus parking lot and it has a very steep driveway. I usually take it average speed but from a slight angle and I clear it.
Well I was about to descend when I see a bunch of girls on the parking lot shuttle eyeing the car. Obviously, they weren't eyeing me. But then they start to wave like crazy!
I look even harder to see if I recognize them but I don't. While all this is going on I forget to angle my car. Sure enough the Veilside lip went ***SCRAPE***! I was the only one to hear it because everyone else was on the shuttle and I had my windows down.
So instead of getting a wave back, the girls see me mouth the word "F*ck!"
Oh man, the look on their faces = priceless!
I bet they think i'm an @sshole now!

About a week ago after I had the body kit and wing put on my car, I was driving around and decided to stop off at the dealership where I bought the car to pick up some touch up paint from the parts department.
As I was pulling up, I saw 2 salesmen at the front of the showroom (ready to pounce on the first customer that walked in the showroom).
I had to grin as one salesman points to my car and says something to his buddy. I couldn't hear what he said through the showroom glass doors, but having been an avid lip-reader in my younger days, I could swear he said "Holy Sh*t!"
Anyway, they both come running out to greet me and the one guy asks me whether they had sold me the car like that... He ended up asking about the mods I had done and invited to come back and let him shoot pictures of my car-- he said that they were always trying to tell people what you could do to the Z if you wanted to...

Yesterday I pulled in to Hearst Castle for a California meet. I was late, having taken the wrong highway. As I pulled in, this father and son were just staring at the 30 or so Z's with their mouths wide, wide open. They couldn't stop telling me how much they loved the cars. As I waited for the group to finish the Hearst Castle tour, we had waves and waves of people come by to pay compliments or take pictures. Then there was that little Celica that tried to act like he didn't see all the Z's there. Snot!

Yep, I was visiting my friend at work and parked next to his cobra (he was about to leave work). I parked the car facing traffic (on a highway). It was a crowded day, lots of people were yelling questions at me from the highway. It was actually annoying.
The girls staring was nice though
