Most of my compliments are facial expressions while rolling on the h-way like . No joke.

Hmmmm.....I don't think anyone ever paid any compliments to my car. Maybe it's coz my car never really sees any street time. But when I do take it out or when it's not in some shop getting some crap done to it, I get mostly quizzical looks from motorists and drivers alike because there are VERY few Aristos rolling on the street. Much less one that is slammed with deep dish wheels, front mount i/c and big pssssh pssssh sound everytime it shifts gear......

dontcha love it when someone sits there grillin your car, and then you come outside, to see them starvin on it, you hit the autostart and they're like "Woah, it just started by itself" Then they walk away thinking your car is possessed as you walk up with a big smile on your face and they just stare at you like "WTF just happened???"

since there aren't too many GSs around my way, I get the neck-snappin all the time.

General comments/questions:

What kind of car is that?

Is that a Lexus? (duh )

That's done up right, not too much but just enough. Very classy.

And the ever-so-annoying:

How much did you pay for that??

Well...everyday, i get alot of head turns (whip-lash) on the hwy...driving home.

Costco Gas Attendant: "Holy $h*t....what next for your car?!?!"

A guy across from me at the pumps: "Wooow maaan....those are really nice wheeeeels. How much did you pay for them? (I tell him) Woooow...nice wheeeeels....nice caaaar. (Then he says...) That's what i paid for my car!!!" (he was driving a Miata convertible).

Young guyz at a mechanic shop: When I drive up....they don't say anything....just try to act normal. When I walk away from my car....I see them inspecting it....looking at my wheels....checking it out from all angles and stuff. When I walk back to the car....they try to act normal again....looking at me and thinking...who da hell is this guy?

roger that


i was parked on a hill at night and was kinda in the middle of a long alley, so the car was by itself and the incline made it look very low and aggresive. A girl walks by and looks at it since there was no badge in front. i walk towards the car from a small walkway but don't see her. I remote start the thing, so the exhausts sound off and the lights some and she just freaks and shuffles back about 5ft when i enter the alley and we see each other.

the best compliment was "oh my god....(breathes)... your car scared me cause i thought it was going to eat me"
