The Official "Has Anyone Complimented Your Car Lately?" Thread!

[demoniam]

Haha, was at the car meet on Friday. I parked beside a mostly stock s2000, and was across the lot looking at a friend's M3 vert.
Some youngun walked up and said "Dude, is that your s2k over there? I saw you standing by it."
To this I replied "Nope, I'm in the white Miata beside it."
He looked at me with a hint of clueless disappointment on his face, and said, "Aw, man. I was gonna tell you that you have a sick as hell car."
I couldn't help but laugh a little. What a douchelet.
He then followed up with a weak little "yeah, that miata's pretty cool, too."

[Stumpy]

Pulled up to a light late at night. Two young guys were in a Rav 4 next to me.

I can hear them saying something. So I rolled down my window.


Them: "Nice Car Man"!

Me: "Really"? (I thought they might have been mocking me).

Them: "Do you like Dave Matthews"?

Me: "What"?

Them: "Dave Matthews is Awesome"! Then they drove off.


I think they were both high, whatever, I am counting it as a compliment.

Had a guy give me the thumbs up at a red light the other day. He then proceed to ask what year my RX-7 was. -_-

On our way to an Autocross event a buddy and I (both triple black Na's) went though the drive though for McDonalds breakfast. Cute girl working the drive though...

"You know that this is a rare car right? And there's 2 of them! Is that your friend behind you?"

I just smiled, and said Yep, thanks! I thought about telling her we were going to a Autocross race but I figured it was a douche move. (friend told her anyways)

A few weekends ago, a few drunk skanks said to each other, 'look at that little sexy black car,' as I drove by in the parking garage. It made my night for a bout 3 seconds until I slammed/scraped the shit out of my car going over a joint in the ramp. durrr.

Last week, I xas riding in my NA back from a meet, following 2 buddies with their BNFL's. All of us top down by night in the middle of Geneva, we stopped at a red light. There was only us, and 3 teenage girls sitting at the bus stop, they started squirming and taking pics with their phones. When the light turned green, I waved them and they went completely crazy. Fun to see.

[c0mputer]

I was at autozone changing my headlight bulb and I hear from behind me, "Hey that yer racecar?". I just said "Yeah." and he was like "Cool" and walked away. Best compliment I've gotten so far, lol.

[Panic.button]

-I went to a local meet and when I parked, me and a buddy stood by our cars talking about which direction we want to start walking to check out the other cars. A group of guys past by and one of them hung out of the group and approached us asking if the car I was standing next to was mine. I said yeah, and he went on about how cool/fun it must be driving at autox. The conversation evolved to how overrated large sized engine cars are.

-Went in for some detail work a while ago because a guy in one of the new gt mustangs scuffed paint when he tried to park next to me. The shop owner said that he's seen me driving on the highway a few times and that he was looking to get the same car one of these days.

-Some guy in a parking lot walked up to me and said something like, "hey man iv got to give you props on that car, normally I dont like miata's but yours looks sick!"

-And then just about every single girl that I've had in the car, or near the car says the car is super cute. A little piece of me dies inside whenever I hear that.

[Stumpy]

I was eating at an outside restaurant, close to my car.

A MILF walked up next to my car, she posed next to it for her husband. "Wouldn't I look cute in this"? The husband just smiled and nodded.


Crap, I drive a girls car. Even with all my racecar mods...

Happens all the time, followed by, "You selling it?"

[CheapWhine]

Back when I lived in a very small apartment, I would often park my car in front of the small houses around the corner rather than risk someone backing into it on the street next to the apt. I would park in front of certain houses because there was only room for one car in between the driveways. Anyway, one day an older lady walked up to me as I was getting out the car and said "I love your car.. it's a beautiful car, you can park it there anytime". I get many compliments from the older ladies.. I think the car must take them back to times when Triumphs and MGs were plentiful.

[monkey.magicx]

Since I've been driving without a hardtop, the Autopower cage is breaking necks. Mostly I get "wtf" looks, and people asking if it's a race car, or if I race.


I have yet to see a panty drop from it though.

[ShadowMX5]

I parked right ouside the front door of the corner store near my house to pick up a drink before work. When I was getting back into my car, a little kid was coming out of the store. His eyes got huge, he flattened up against the wall and yelled out to his dad who was parked next to me: "OH MY GOD! A VIPER!"

He was stunned until I pulled out of my parking spot and drove away

People stopped and stared at me and my car today. They admired the lovely arson show that transpired earlier today!!! Luckily I caught it on time and prevented my dash from (and car) from burning!

[xbeatles4x]

at my school Ive had kids think I drove some older porsche when I had my lights up.

Same... Nissan/Infinite owners always seem to want to race me...i think the stance of my car gets those people thinking its fast. So they roll up asking how much power I have...soo I reply with., 98.

I have people ask atleast once a day if my wheels are broken or supposed to "leaning" inwards like they do. it's starting to get annoying...So sometimes freak out and act like they just broke! Then facepalm n drive off.

[Willywongka]

The other day my friend said "Your car is pretty sick... too bad its a Miata."

I should be happy right?

[mksu19]

Neighbours complimented on how little damage my car had after yesterday's incident. They said they can barely see the charring where the electrical fire transpired! I took it as a compliment!

['91Radio Flyer]

Got a thumbs up from a guy walking down the street, and my neighbor said "it's probly pretty fast isn't it?" I had to tell him no not even a little, but it's fun in the corners. I'm amazed I get any recognition at all seeing as my car is beat to hell.

i chuckled. i live close to where the burba start to break apart, i usually get alot of wtf? looks and such. people must hate me for slowing down for everything. i guess i get alot of non compliments....

[ohsixspeedsix]

Not my Miata. But tooling through my friends neighborhood in my ms6 last night while all the people were parked to watch the fireworks. I heard a little kid yell out, Wow racecar! Side stripes + Straight pipes + loud bov = racecar now.

[nickydicky13]

everybody in town loves the miata. we have a whole bunch zipping around here. always get from the kids and the occasional tuffguy. i have a friend whos mother is in love with my car.
alwaysgetting looks because my bike rides passenger seat most of the time

[estabahn]

Yesterday I had someone tell me "I'll give you two grand for it" as I was getting out of my '94 R. That almost sorta qualifies as a compliment.

[vernontwg]

i finished my DIY paint job and put my pf01's on and a lot of my nieghboors came by and asked me what sort of car it was and how they liked what i did with it. considering they're all middle aged-older people, i thought it was pretty cool

[carbonfiber_NA]

so i'm drivin around one sunday afternoon last summer and i happen upon a car show. being a car guy, i gotta stop. i park, and am immediately greeted by this:


then i'm immediately greeted by this(it wasn't actually big pun, but you get the point):


who immediately yells:

DAYUUUUM SON! THIS NI**A BE ROCKIN THA CALI SWAGG, NI**A!





cali swag...i has it
