Followed by "Oh $hit, he can hear us," when he saw me smiling (windows were down). Priceless.
The last exchange like that I had was "Gimme Dat car Whitey", I thought I was going to end up with bullet holes in cars and people.

Mine has been turning heads left and right lately. Also, everyone wants to try it at the stoplight now.

My first comment was the second time I drove it last weekend. I pulled up to the valet and I asked the young kid if it was OK if I just parked it myself right up front and he said no problem. When I got out he said "nice classic".

Considering that the car is probably nearly as old as he was.....reasonable comment !

You can all thank me to a degree since I have been rice'ng my 928 s4 out a bit... : ) which I know you all love....but it does get the attention of the youth, mid 20's and such...so I am doing my part with the younger generation while you Old F$rts (no insult intended) do your part with the older croud...

I always liked younger hotter mid 20's woman anyway...just something different about them then 40+ woman.. : )

I often take people for short spirited test drives in my 80Euro. The most common comment is "Holy &^%$" How old is this car?!?!? They all seem to enjoy being shoved back in the seat when I spin up the tires in second gear. It's got stock exhaust and a bit of a whine from a bad release bearing, and they all say it sounds and feels like a jet taking off. I really like my OB. What really turns heads is when my 21yo daughter puts her foot in it. That apple didn't fall too far from the tree...

The appreciation for my 928's seemed VERY, VERY high today... Or maybe it was just the four hot models posing with the cars!
