I guess I'll add another one - sometimes I drive my dad's beige Sienna, and I was waiting for a friend in front of her apartment.

I'm sitting there on my phone, and the door opens, and some old lady gets in, sits down, and is putting on her seat belt when she sees me and nearly has a heart attack. I didn't say anything because 1) it was hilarious, and 2) I didn't want to scare her.

Anyway we had a good laugh, and seconds after a second beige Sienna pulls up behind me, as my friend comes down and sees this lady getting out of my car.

Perfect timings all around

Some of the stuff I remember:
-----------------

"Can I trade my car for your car?" multiple times, from the same guy.

----------------

How is the ride?

Very nice car.

------------

A guy, that looked like a Harley Biker, at the Great Canadian VW Show, asked...

"Does that have 600+hp?" (I wish)

Which I replied, "no, that would be way too high" and said "450".

----------------

While I was in the car, parked on Alberni, a guy with his girlfriend walked by and yelled excitedly "that's an RS5!!" pulled at her GF's arm and said it again, and the GF proceeded to go into the driver side of the SLK behind my car while the guy rides shotgun. The guy continues to point. It was awkward to say the least.

-------------------

A guy and his friend at Aberdeen just came out and whiel I was getting out, proceeded to do a 360 around my car and engaged in a conversation.

"Nice car! Wow, I have a S5 over there" which I said "That's wicked" and we talked while he and his friend examined the front, sides, back, for a good 5 minutes".

----------------

At Sensha Ya car wash, I was outside the car waiting with a few patrons, and my car was just about to be done, and the VW golf's driver behind me said "nice car, how much is it, etc." and after a few minutes of talking, he said... out of the blue "I have a Lambo at home."

I was like, "ooh, nice car... So which Lambo" and he said "Gallardo", and I proceeded to go back into my car, which coincidentally, was just finished by then...

I guess the VW was his DD.

other guy: just give it a try

Its special for sure if you're first owner

1. I was going 50km/hr in front of an RCMP cruiser, got pulled over. Officer eventually asked me to pop the hood and proceeds to say "Do you have a NOS intake?" No.....

Then, once he's done looking he tells me "You have a nice car, you can go now" What was the point of pulling me over?!

2. At a friend's shop, his customer/buddy tells me "You know, I don't even like civics but yours makes me want to get one"

You do realize what the MSRP for a brand new s2k in canada was.... right?

While I opened the garage gate and about to start my car (JDM Integra Type R), one particular bloke walked past and stared at it for a good 10 seconds.

"That's a funny looking civic."

I chuckled slightly and said: "It's an Integra from the other side of the pond."

------

Much more common: long stares from others while stopping at stop signs/lights with the occasional "why is your steering wheel on the right side?"

Got pulled over once, he asked me if my headlights were stock, I told him yes...He walked around the car a bit and then said the same thing to me and left... Waste of my time.

- random drunk blonde girl attempts to get into the back seat of my car to take a selfie at a car show, soon followed by random drunk blonde girls friend, random drunk brunette girl taking typical myspace selfie angle shot.
my reaction "thanx for keeping the white carpets clean, and remembering to wear underwear"

- "at night, it blings, during day, it blends in with all the other gold corollas"

- random old guy, "WTH?! i havent seen paint jobs like this since the 70s!"

- random white girl at car show "OMG, i love your car!"

- co worker, "its so sparkly"

- distant friend "wtf were you thinking?!"

- bodyshop "...you want to do what?! seriously?!"

- guy on harley as we pull up to the red light (i had a bad exhaust leak) "that almost sounds like an american V8", i reply back "naaa, its just 2 japanese inline 4's!"

- had to gun it to merge onto hwy, merged off of highway and stop at a red light on the overpass, silver c5 corvette guy pulls next to me and yells out "wow, wasnt expecting that v8 sound from your car"

- random old asian guy in a sl63 amg gives me the thumbs up as we crawl through traffic... then realizes i was his service advisor earlier.

- distant friend "hate it..."
my reply, "good, last thing i wanted to attract was asian douchbag guys with this car"

best one to date, not trying to stereotype, but fresh paint, driving through surrey, got a random thumbs up from a taxi driver.

[bing]

walking back to friend's modded e46 BMW m3 a few years ago (we traded cars for a few months)

[Matsuda]

"why is your car so loud?"

"did you lower it?"

all from my mom

No..I would have expected 30-40k at most. 60k sounds fucking absurd for a small roadster.

[Happy]

Pulled up to a light beside a riced out civic

Civic driver - "What kind of bmw is that?"
Me - "E46 M3"
Civic driver - "Bullshit. You just threw a m3 badge on a 325i."
Me - "You caught me...."
