yep i have had more people comment on my "lexus*" than on any other of my "show trucks" i used to have, i get talked to at least twice a month, which when i was one of the first owners of the tC in orlando used to almost daily, i think a huge part of it is the flint mica sparkles and i wash my car almost every day!

i tell everybody the same "I love this car!"


* i have had many people ask me " what kind of lexus is that?"
and also "what is a Scone?"

Just yesterday I was in the parking lot of a supermarket cleaning the bug guts off the front of my ride (2 hr drive from State College , PA) and some like 35 year old dude comes up to me "That yo car? Man thats a nice car, just like a little old race car". Stand there, looking, talking to me occasionally, I'm obviously freaked out so I'm like "uhhh yeah well I'm gonna take off now, later". Same day, I'm pulling through the drivethru of a Wendys, pull up to the window. Lady looks at me and does a double take , she says "wow...." pauses for about 10 seconds then says "nice car....cute car!". Earlier that same day, I'm driving at Penn State and pass maybe 3 or 4 10 year old boys who yell out to me "NICE CAR!". All in a days work. I'll tell you about another time. I went on my break from work to a fast food place, pull up to order, some guy leans out of his car behind me "MAN YOUR CAR IS BANGIN!" he says. I just kinda say thanks but i dunno if he heard me. Then I pull up to the window, lady in the window is like "maaaan nice car, handsome black man in a nice car will you marry me?!" and goes on and on. THEN I get back to my job and some girl who is one of my friends sisters comes in and immediately says "hi because she recognizes me, and goes off on a tangent about how "beautiful" my car is. On another day, I go into Autozone to get some cleaning ____, and two of the employees come outside to see my car. Ask me all kinds of questions. I buy like 60 dollars worth of stuff, but the one dude lets me use his employee discount for no apparent reason so I pay like 45. Then I pull the car around, pop the hood, etc. Dude they drool over it for like 15 minutes until the boss comes out and tells em to get the eff back inside. Then dude takes my number and says hes in a car club and wants me to join. These are just a few examples, every where I go I see stares, people yelling out to me, and everyone who gets into my car says "bangin car" or something along those lines. Man it's been 6 months and its still as if I'm driving a ____in viper or something. Just hook ur car up, keep it super clean and you'll get all the attention you could ever want because of it. Kinda obnoxious actually. I got towed a few days ago and I know if my car didnt stand out so much, I would have just gotten a ticket like everyone else who parks in that same space. Not to mention the time I got pulled over and had my car searched because the cop was curious and thought it was some expensive sports car. Oh well it's worth it.
ha ha, what a funny read.

I've noticed that the ones that do come up to me and talk to me about it, are all men that are 40+.

Haha, I had an old asian guy come up to me as well. I would think that the younger crowd would know about the car by now.
