I was visiting my parents one weekend, who live in a pretty average suburban town, and was out for some top down crusin' with a friend of mine. I'm 99% sure I wasn't driving like a maniac and didn't have the music blasting, but when I pulled up to the stop light, this grandma aged women looks over and gives me a REALLY dirty look and is mouthing something directly at us. Now, if I had done something wrong I probably would've tried to apologize, but since this was completely unwarranted I decided to throw up the rock-on/sign of the beast hand sign, stick my tongue out in a demonic way, and then sped off when the light turned green.

Now, she has a reason to be disgusted.

I get tons of nice compliments from girls, particularly those that are WAY too young for me. Infact, a girl that I'll guess was about 17-18ish just walks up and gets into my car while I was at a red light. Very cute, but alas probably criminally too young. I had to politely tell her to get out.

Nice, some people don't get that the car is a sports car.

 

Very rarely have I ever gotten yelled at in a negative way, since I try not to do anything prickish during rush hour and whatnot.

If anything I run into the random guys with the stickers, wings, and exhaust tips that seem to think that when they cut me off while I'm cruising and flash their hazards that they beat my car. This happens particularly when it's late at night on weekdays (fewer cops I guess). At the next light they'll start talking sh!t to me like they tore me a new one. I won't lie, this is generally when I smoke them just to make a point.

Even with modification, my Prelude never generates so many people revving on it. Come to think of it the only time it EVER happened in the Lude was someone driving an S2000 riding my ass for no reason whatsoever. It's the only time I've ever given another owner the bird.....ever...

 

Yeah I've gotten yelled at. I was minding my own business driving home from work with my top up and I heard yelling beside me. There was an older guy with long hair in a green old school pick up truck just yelling at me. I know I did not cut anyone off nor speed. I have no idea what he was saying but he felt it was more important to yell at me than to keep the flow of traffic moving along. He was backing up the whole right turn lane. People were swearing and yelling at him to move his a$$ so that made me feel better

 

This past summer I was driving around town with my friend and a gold colored automatic Oldmobile intrigue with an Ebay muffler and a giant Oldsmobile sticker on the back windshield pulls up next to us at a stop light and starts to rev his engine.

I had the top down and my friend and I just looked at each other and started to laugh

 

Yeah, I've gotten the "aren't you cold" comment in a tone suggesting I was trying to show off with the top down. I was at a light and it was 50ish outside (I'll put the top down with the temp down around 40).

I just looked at the person and said, "my car's got a heater just like yours does." She looked a bit stumped, like she hadn't thought of that.

So far, that's the only negative comment I've gotten so far.

 

I always get the comment "Did mommy and Daddy buy you that car?" Ill admit that I am 19, but I have a good job for my age and pay for the S myself. Am I wrong for wanting to spoil myslef for working hard? It just bugs the hell out of me. People our just jealous of our sexy hondas!!

 

Are you kidding me? I would have sped up to him as fast as VTEC allows, then cut his A$$ off, and jam on my brakes. I'd get him to come to a complete stop, then pull him and his white trash friends out of the car and make it so theirs mothers wouldn't recognize them......

Sorry... That just hit a sore spot with me. Maybe it's because they have no value for others property (like you said, swearing is one thing) or maybe it's because I spent so much time detailing, and waxing my car.

 

I had one converstaion with a guy from Honda when I took the in for a service one day during winter.

him: aren't you cold with the roof down
me: no, what's the point having a convertible if you don't put the roof down?
him: uhhh summer!
me: yeah and then you'd complain it was too hot

 

I got yelled at by a lady driving an SUV for absolutely no reason while I was testdriving an S2000. I'm absolutely positive that I didn't cut her off or anything and she was honking and yelling at me while we were waiting at a red light. The car salesman sitting in the passenger seat yelled back and flipped her off. I thought that was pretty damn funny
