Who makes extra effort to frequent a place because you know that people will look and admire your SC? I'm not going to lie, when I get done washing and waxing my car I like to drive it around town so people can glance at her pretty self... but.. I would have to say that I do visit Starbucks quite often and probably drink more Lattes than I should because I know that I will get a stare from Starbucks customers.

What about you all? I hope I'm not the only one here... that would be embarrassing

I used to do it a lot when I was in high school, I would drive by the movie theatre on friday nights before I went out so that people would look, usually they were other high school or college kids hanging out there so everyone would look when I revved the engine bhaha how lame was I

Nowadays I might take the "LONG" drive through campus on afternoons to get a few looks from students as they walk to class

Ive never done it, probably because once im done detailing it i want to leave it in the garage for as long as possible because i dont want it to get dirty

I do like to do most of my shopping in the more affluent section of the city. I get more looks there. I guess it's because people who drive nice cars like to admire other nice cars.

Last night I was at the Towers Shoppes where they have the Fri nite car gathering. I'm gauking at this yellow Lambo Gallardo with color matched Avus wheels when a british sounding huy comes over and starts a conversation. He thought it was my car. When he found out it wasn't he asked where mine was. I pointed out my platinumsc and the guy said, "you're over here making a fuss about this car when you drive that?". I thought he was crazy. I didn't believe he was serious but he was. Go figure.

LOL. you're just like me! I detail the car, then off to storage it goes. Then it gets dusty from sitting there, then the crazy cycle repeats!

Back on topic, YES, I've been known to do that a few times. It's hard to avoid when the car is shiny and the wheels are blingin'...

No need. I get enough attention holding my helmet going to school.

Hell ya I do it. I get my baby waxed and take it to "local hangouts" or whatever...And its funny cause there is no Sc's here so its a shock to everyone..I love it lol

so many people ask "is that a new model Lexus?"... this happens at gas stations more than anywhere

i dont go out to drive for the sole purpose of showing off my car, but its always in the back of my mind when im driving around for whatever reason. when i pass pedestrians i often look in the mirror to see if they're looking at me

southernsc

I get that all the time at gas stations, and everyone always gets the dumbfounded look when i tell them how old the car is

There isnt anything wrong with doing that. Unless you're doing NOTHING but driving around.

I go to the occasional cafe or restaurant to grab something light to eat to give myself an excuse to drive on a nice day.

And on the following day at a car meet, people go "hey! I saw your car down so-and-so blvd!"

^^^^Agreed, I do it but not all the time.
