speaking of love for the car, Yesterday I got pulled over by the cops for speeding (in a pure speed trap). And before giving me my ticket he proceeded to tell me he loves my car and that it was a very nice vehicle.

As you can see I had mixed feelings about the comment

Oh yea... Having somebody go out of their way to check out your car is awesome. Funny too. Def a perk especially when its some hot chick.

Back in 2005, when I first got the car, having people come over to check it out and ask questions was a fairly regular occurrence. In those days, the L-finesse styled ES and LS were not out yet, and the L-finesse GS and IS were new enough that you'd rarely spot them on the road. Sometime between then and now, my car became invisible.

Yep it's getting that way with the IS unfortunately. Not quite as bad as the 3-series, but with the car being priced as entry level it won't be long. Surprisingly I don't see many GSes. Definitely more of an IS/ES mix as far as sedans go. Plenty of LSes too, but those are too plain looking to really stand out, and they just blend in with the 7-series and A8s.

Not in my case, ever where i go i meet people who seem to be blown away by the car, but I think there is certain reasons for that 1) I dont travel all the same places all the time 2) I have 3 cars so im not driving my 350 all the time & 3) I think the mods & the sounds of the Greddy attract alot of attention!!!

This quote right here means a whole lot more coming from someone who is from MA, where most people can give a rat's A$$ about cars and always seem like they are occupied in their own crummy life to recognize a thing of beauty. Only in MA!

I get positive comments (and a few birds) all the time, but the best compliment was while attending a wedding at a swank restaurant where every car is valet parked, the valets washed my car for free and parked it right out front so everyone could see!

Heres something:

When driving my 5.0: I drive past any bus stop and rev the motor at chicks, only guys look... sausage magnet

When driving the IS350: I drive past any bus stop with the sounds going, EVERYONE looks
