i have gotten a few on my wheels, on my exhaust tone etc etc.

but my favorties are at shows or at the track when after they hear what it runs they r shellshocked and have to know what is done to it. and the first things they ask are head cam? or nitrous? and i can grin and say nope just mild bolt ons with bone stock suspension and 10 bolt

I had some guy tell me that the car is "insane" looking once.

Once I had a hot girl I know tell me my car is beautiful.... I facepalmed and said I know what she means but beautiful isn't the right word lol.

Otherwise just the standard waves and nods from people I don't know, and little kids staring. Or just small comments from people in parking lots.

I get compliments on the color of my TA all the time... Guess its cause there are so few Quasar blues.

and in internetland, I'm not fast by any stretch, but it gets the job done. I autocross a bit, and i always get complemented on how predictable the rear end will step out and how its quite awesome to watch me steer with the throttle. but thats just because my summers are bald...

I never get anything with my own car but get alot with customer cars.Most common is when I get gas for them. Alot of people say - nice car. My reply is always - it's not mine,I'm just getting paid to beat the crap out of it

I always get mixed reviews. Everytime I go to Cecil people think I'm PJ and get excited. Then I make a pass and they ask me why I'm only running 10.40's today.

One of these days maybe I can be fast. LOL

You're right. I fixed it. I guess I should mix the two toys and have some real fun. Anybody ever seen a TA body on a silverado frame. LOL

my buddy was behind me at a car show the other night in his cobra, when we parked he goes.."man, its sad when i am behind you...i cant even hear my own car at all"

so his boss comes over and says to him, your car really sounds like a ***** compared to his.

I guess it was recently that someone asked if my car was a 2009 model because of how clean it was. I was personally complimented because of how I try to maintain and take care of the car, but also the fact that it is still timeless and looks good on the road.

Those rims you have look real good too. Very modern look and suits the car, no wonder you get that guy asked if it was an '09.
