Comments or compliments from other drivers?

A kid in a Cobalt SS stopped after I got out, complimented the car, then asked a bajillion questions. Asked if I'd run it at the track yet but me thinks he was fishing for a race.

On that note, there a crap load of Cobalt SS's around here and with light mods they're a worthy straight line adversary from what I've seen
 
i was on my way home last night and some random lifted silverado revved on me. there were 2 bro's in it. so, naturally i ripped it. 45 seconds later, when they caught up, he flipped me the bird. hahahaha. why is he mad? probably cause he wasted 10 bucks revving on me.

(lol)

Please...
 
Just like CTGrey said no one notices my car which is great. I've gotten stares only from few young kids driving other sport compacts. The last thing I want is to draw attention to myself in my cop infested hometown of Northern VA. In my experience with them, being Asian inside of a Japanese import has been bad enough. >_<

on the way to work I was approaching a 90 degree right turn that was several bumps on the floor, so I slowed down below average speed. the woman in the 4runner behind me started getting on my ass as I was making the turn slowly but surely. i wasn't going slow bother anyone else at all, just making sure i dont mess up my car thats all. exiting the turn i gave 50 % throttle to get out of her way onto the left. my 50% was 100% throttle for her SUV so therefore she still remained behind me on the right lane and thats when she pulled out the birdie
BAM! (bird) so eventually i resumed back to cruising speed and she just didnt let off her throttle and stormed past me...people are incredible these days!
well i might as well share my birdie story...im driving on okeechobee blvd heading west and i come up to a light and theres a old guy on a harley behind me. the light turns green and i accelertae slowly like i always do to save gas which means im shifting at 2k rpms...its pretty slow and the guy gets mad and starts honking his bike horn at me..i eventually get up to speed and he stays behind me and we come up to another light. this time i knew he was going to try to pass me and the light goes green and he indeed does. i floored it and left him pretty bad and he pulled up next to me and BAM!, i was laughing while he gave me the bird and i waved at him but i was laughing so hard and he shook his head after he gave the big sesame street size bird.(fu)
 
Right on. When you get the bird it is always good to just laugh at the person. Always pisses them off more. I can't believe how b****y people can be about something like slow acceleration. I have been granny driving the last week trying to see if I can get 300 miles on a tank and I get a few nasty looks from drivers. Usually the old people in their 50k sauerkraut burners.

he was so mad because he couldnt pass me and i was seriously laughing my ass off
 
I feel you on that since I get all the nasty looks when I slow way down for dips, pot holes, or raised bumps in the road. The guy behind me doesnt give a s*** about their car and just plows over them while I slow all the way down to 2nd gear and navigate over them as smooth as I can.
 
Cali...looking to go back to Cali to get out of this s*** hole called Miami. I was raised there in L.A., Downey, Southgate, Lynwood, pretty much everywhere...

I miss it over there sometimes...but then I think of transferring over seas somewhere...??? Decisions decisions...

i used to get a lot of compliments on my car when it was in stock form and then when i just had wheels on it from a lot of adults and some kids... now that its as modded as it is i only get compliments from mostly kids, though a lot of the guys i work with like it... i cought one guy trying to impress this hottie walking out to their cars in the parking lot asking her what car she drove and if it was that fast and furious pos he was parked next to (he was driving a rusted out 1992 nissan sentra btw) which was my car and as i proceeded to pass him and the chick he was trying to impress (who i knew) i gave her a nice lil wave and got in my car and drove away with a nice s*** eating grin on my face....you should have seen his face it was great!!

i just farted(usa)
 
personally i kind of like the fact that i dont get many compliments or attention in the car. To most its a nice looking station wagon/family car. 99% of the people dont know what it has in it or what it is capable of. I used to drive an SVT Focus and everyone and there mother wanted to race. In this car...nobody! its wonderful. IMHO it is the perfect sleeper and i like it that way
