My most enjoyable experiences are when I'm out and about and a family, or father son want to look at the car. I always offer for the kids to sit in the car while their parents take pictures. I'm not sure who's happier, the parents or the kids.
I've never been given the one finger salute, I know I'm usually ahead of the Prius
I've had mine for 6 years, and can't wait until i get it back from the engine shop and try out some new parts....
