Does your TL turn heads?

I know mine does even though it's still stock but the fact that it's a TL-S probably helps. My friends keep telling me how nice my car is now that they finally got to see it from close. A few months ago they would laugh at me everytime I saw one of them go by me and I couldn't stop drooling. Now that I finally grabbed one they know why I was drooling so much.

Yeah for the most part people tend to look at my car. They don't really stare at it, but they'll look at it for a few seconds.
You should see their face when they HEAR my car though

I don't know but lately my TL has been turning serious heads on the road. Just driving at roughly around 6pm for around 30 mins, 4 different people in 4 different cars would look over and just stare almost stalkerishly checking out the car, then look at me and then checking out the car again LOL Half of the stares occurred at the stoplight so I could clearly see them staring away!!
I don't know if its because I live in a college town so there's alot of old cars or if its because I just washed my car or if its because i just dropped on TL-S tails on my car yesterday but its interesting that it makes people stop, stare and envy.
Do you guys get looks or do u cause broken necks with your TL? It would be interesting to hear

i have come out to parking lots and had people looking at my car then complement me when i get in it a few times, also notice people looking back in traffic to see the front as they pass. But I really dont think much of this people notice and comment on anything that is slightly different. I have a street legal sandrail.... that thing really turns heads when people see you driving it on the street.

I have no good pointers, unfortunately. It was kind of a slam bam thank you ma'am kinda job. Basically, me and my buddies were drunk and one of them had a POS volvo and we "redneck engineered" it. Lol I'm sure we could have made it work better and make it more concealable but meh.. the LSU game was about to start haha

i had my friend drive my car so i can see it and listen.
Seeing the car on foot gave it a whole new prospective for me
i looked at it from many angles and crouch angles as he was driving it around
the exhaust note with non-conservative drop made me think of the way bowser sprints in supersmash brother just plowing thru the floor
broke my neck real hard Oo

I do often get some stares especially right after I wash my car and it's all shiny and such. The stare often turns into double take complete with a face of jealousy or horror once they realize there's a 17 year old behind the wheel :P It's quite the satisfactory feeling to see that.
I also break my neck when I see other TL's on the road, especially one with some nice mods on them. Never gets old when you stop next to a fellow owner at a stoplight and exchange compliments with them.
