I don't know if they liked it, or hated it, but they were certainly interested in something about it. Still feels strange when that happens. (oh yes, I was completely clothed).
DC is fun like that. Especially if you cruize the tourists along Madison or Jefferson in front of the museums, it helps to have the windows down, too. The tourists love to gawk, and I indulge them on occasion (while looking for parking).
The best one I have personally seen with my car is when I was parked at a restaurant in Lancaster, PA. I parked it in a corner spot, and this dude pulls in near it, gets out of his van with the family. The family goes inside the restaurant and this dude walks around my car for like 10 minutes, peeking inside, looking under the rear end, I mean, checking the car out more than a lot of people do at a dealership. I was outside chatting with my family who I met there, watching this guy. We all got a kick out of it that this dude was more interested in the car than going into dinner with his family.
I almost think the X-fire is more distinctive than a Ferrari. You know what a Ferrari is when you see it (and in DC-Big Whoop), but not that many people know what a Crossfire is!
