Great thread!

Everytime I take mine out I get people giving thumbs up, smiles, pointing, and such. I'm still not use to it - and - people following me home to see the car!! .. those encounters worry me.

Two times that I remember the most ..

The first was right after I bought it - sitting in traffic - and someone behind screamed like a banshee. Ya know, the good ol redneck - 3 teef - straight out the trailer/NASCAR "whooooooo!!!" and then SHE followed it up with some "he!! yeah! that's what I'm taking about!!" .. and more coarse profanity. Scared the freaking crap out of me. I thought I had been shot! Good thing the steering wheel is bolted on tight. I nearly ripped the thing off.

The very next day, I drive the car over to the city where I work and show it off to some co-workers (Cops). One of them gets out of his patrol car and asks, "why would buy something like THAT?!?!" in a real degrading tone - everyone turns and gives him a scowl .. and I replied, "same reason you waxed your eyebrows and put goo in your hair you freaking nitwit." Sheesh! what a maroon.
