So does my wife!

 

If you don't like them we don't like them!

 

I typically get lots of positive reactions whenever I take the car out. Even tonight, I was able to park at the entrance to the gym I go to and it drew quite few stares and comments from the younger crowd; all good.

While getting gas, I had a lady come up and ask me "what kind of car" I was driving as we stood near the rear with "Jaguar" scrolled on the rear deck.

But the best was driving with my wife one beautiful evening with the top down; we were stopped at a light when her old boss (and friend of ours) pulled up by chance right next to us in his Corvette-sourced SSR. He looked over at the car and glanced in to see who was in it; the literal double take expression on his face was priceless.

 

My wife and I often go to the movies on Friday night and while we rarely see "crap", we also usually go into the movies we see cold; not knowing much if anything about the film.

So I'm not so sure what my wife was thinking when she said "let's go see 'Baby Driver'". Neither of us knew anything about it but she had seen that it got positive reviews.

I rarely if ever need "encouragement" to drive in a spirited manner but Baby Driver got under my skin. It's not a great movie by any measure in our opinion, although the music played throughout was and was quite entertaining. As we left the theater, my wife went to get our dog in her office as I went to bring my F-Type around and out of my garage (I also texted my wife that I hope she tightens her seat belt a bit tighter than usual on the drive home). I ripped out of the parking lot, the rear end coming a bit loose as I let loose (at 10:00 there were few cars left in the indoor lot).

I arrived to her corner, waiting for her and our dog, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" blasting out of the speakers. I noticed several passers-by admiring the car when 5 people mulled around a bit so I had no choice but to turn the sound off and listen to these 5 people rave about the car. The guy said that that was/is his dream car and has been considering buying one. We chatted a bit and I also had no choice but to offer him a ride since my wife still hadn't appeared by this point. We went for a blast - sound effects and all - around several blocks and he had the biggest smile on his face the entire time. He left the car and said he won't be able to sleep for a week. Hypobole? You tell me.

P.S. My wife heard me blasting around her streets - in spite of my being a block or two away - and did, in fact, fasten her seat belt, as well as hold onto our dog, a bit tighter than usual. I suspect even DJS might have heard me?

 

A cute blonde MILF at the gas station said "That's the most beautiful car I've ever seen. My panties just got wet."

I will make no more further comments about this affair or the Happy Ending...

 

That's a better story then mine (which I just posted above yours).

 

I'm currently in the Midwest - thought that was thunder I was hearing. Jay does have a habit of ripping a hole in the space-time continuum.

 

 

I grew up in Ga. that is why now live in S.W. Fla. Not as many Banjos and a few more teeth......

 

While sitting at a red light, someone driving the other way screamed, "**** YOU, YUPPIE" at me. Must be class anxiety.

 

nobody could accuse me of being a yuppie. I'm an OPPIE.

 

weirdly enough a black f-type doesn't get much attention here in downtown toronto especially sitting in all the traffic, you do get the odd lingering look. but when you rip it and make that awesome v8 bang and pop, everyone notices!

at most so far i've received the occasional point and stare at my car... but nothing like the other stories on here lol. maybe that will change in a few days after my car is finished being wrapped...

 

I completely expected so much of this class warfare type of reaction bullshit. The fact is, the strength of the United States car culture absolutely trumps any of the 1% versus anything narrative. Fairly cool.

 

On the way home yesteday evening, a man in a blue Hyundai was waving frantically at me at a red light.

I rolled the window down, and he said "That's an amazing car... I bet you get a lot of sex," while grinning ear to ear.

I thanked him and rolled the window up

I didn't have the heart to shatter his dream and explain that a cool car mostly attracts other dudes.

 

well he wasn't completely wrong. You could be having a lot of sex with dudes. :P

 

Yeah same here until I added the red stripes, now it gets looks and stares all the time.

 

Yesterday a SEPTA bus driver here in Philly stopped his bus on the on-ramp to I76 to beep, wave and give me the thumbs up

 

Hope he didn't want to race you.

 

A guy on a balcony yelled out that he liked my car. I asked him if he knew what it was. He said a Tesla. I said not even close.

 

I would have said "definitely a tesla" and then revved it
