I've gotten tons of looks and stares, and questions about how I like it. Two of best memories I have of this.

One was in the middle of last summer. It was blazing hot out here in Southern California, and I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway through Newport Beach. There was tons of traffic from all the people heading to the beach. As we're inching along, I had the windows down, and I heard a guy as he was walking along the sidewalk, "That is an incredible looking car," and he and his friend stopped to take a good look. I just smiled and laughed to myself. Takes a lot for those jaded rich guys in Newport Beach to actually stop and look at a car.

The other was when I was heading from school to the gym. Again, traffic, but this time it was rush hour, so everyone was trying to get on the freeway. As we're making our way down Bellflower Blvd. (for those who know Long Beach), three guys in the truck next to me are all staring at my car, and I can see them all discussing it, looking it up and down, and pointing at stuff. Whether it was good or bad, I really don't care.

This may not be the best car for outright performance, though it is quite a good performer, but there are few cars that can illicit as much attention. I think for those who buy them, they understand that the primary reason for getting it is its outright style and wow factor. The fact that it actually drives pretty well is a major benefit.

Cheers!
