I still get tickled when I look at it - that's all that matters - the real question is whether YOU as the owner still thinks it looks good (?)

I get a lot of looks. I think Laguna blue is a popping color and I have a pretty mean looking setup. Also to add that theres not a lot of nice sports cars down here besides vettes. I live right down the street from the 2nd largest GM plant.

I get panty waist punk ass kids revving at me all the time. I guess they spot the drop, shaved badges and Toda exhaust growling on the freeway so they want a little sample of my car. When they see it's some geezer driving, I get the WTF look as they speed away.

I get looks all the time, young kids are the best, I've seen them jump up and down while pointing, or stand slack jawed and stare. Lots of compliments all the time, and people staring as I drive by.

Not a lot of S's in this kinda small town, and its Imola Orange.

I stare at my car. Haha.

In all seriousness, the car definitely attracts attention. Almost everywhere I go, people stare at or comment on it.

Last month, my car actually caused an accident from staring. =P Well, I like to think of it that way. Two cars were in line for a stop sign on a side street. I look over to see if the first truck is going to do a mad dash cut in front of me. He sees me and doesn't move, but the guy behind him just keeps staring at me while rear-ending the truck.

I get looks all the time, but the only people who actually come up to the car and make some positive comment are middle-aged. I think that most of the young-uns are more impressed by Mustangs.
