earlier this summer, i was driving (bone stock) along a busy strip of 3 lane road, looking for a PartSource (http://www.partsource.ca/) to rent strut spring compressors. i am stopped at a red light, when 3 white kids in a cavalier pull up beside me and look at me...
them: "excuse me, do you know where xyz sushi is?"
me: "sorry dude, have no clue (have no idea why they asked ME. maybe i was the closest asian at that time?). do you know where the PartSource is?"
them: "ya, you just passed it. just head back back the other way. you can't miss it."
me: "thanks man."
them: "no problem. nice car."
me: "thanks man."

What makes people flip out though is the handsfree link. I've driven a couple people and got calls through it, and they were like "no f'ing way"

Time to Climb
I get looks from people of all demographics. The most rewarding would have to 2nd glances/nods from people with domestics and from cops - after they write me a citation

diversity my friend. I suspect you have never driven an NC. Then you would know why I bought the Miaita over the 2000.

I don't know about stares & double-takes, as I tend to look at the road, rather than other drivers when I'm driving, but I've been approached at gas stations.
One of my techs drives her mother's Lexus to work regularly...last week she asked if we could trade for the weekend.

example of this just happened to me about an hour ago.....
was getting gas and the new 4 door si pulls up to the light thats in front of the gas station and just stares at my car. meanwhile the light turns green and ppl behind him beeping as he was looking at my car. thought it was pretty funny
otherwise, i guess since my car is blue and is pretty loud because of my exhaust and intake i do get a decent amount of looks.

I pulled up to a gas station for a normal fill up and some dude first approaches me and asks if i have jumper cables (which i didn't at the time) and then says, "Man i love that car! Nice wheels, what size are they, 20's?" I have Ron Jon Servo's in 18's which do look to be 19's but since it was at night and i had just washed the car they shine and reflect like crazy so they do look BIG! Thought it was kind of cool until he said "you should get an exhaust" and then i was like thanks and got in my car and drove off....lol
