Default What attention does your car catch?

It's been a bit weird since I parted out my s2000. After stripping off all aftermarket parts off my car, I notice I been catching more attention than ever. It's a bit weird, half the time I thought its because there like a phat bird dodo on my car but no.. I get constant stares from bystanders as well as other drivers..

Recent moment:
1. I aas sitting in my car listening to music while waiting for some one. A Middle age white lady walked by with 2 other guys (middle age).
Lady: I like this car, it looks really cool, what is it?
(guy): it's a Honda
(lady: it's a Honda? Wow!!


2. Just parked and got out my car, a middle age lady walked pass my door before crossing the street
Lady: what car is this
Me: it's a Honda
Lady: ohh my husband just bought a new one, is it a genesis?
Me: No, it's a Honda s2000 not Hyundai (facial expression of disrespect)
Lady: ohh, a Honda, well I like your car more, it looks better than the new genesis he just bought, he shoulda bought a Honda.

3. Random out burst of comments like "sick ride", "I like yo whip", "dope car". My response is "thank you?"

My gf calls this car a dude magnet rather than a chick magnet lol. And now it's even worst with older ladys commenting lol..

With the custom color that my S has. Its like some mercedes silver with a blue tint. so it looks girly. Golem can vouch for me also as he witnessed a middle aged woman who pointed out my S being cute, when he was parked directly in front of my S. Before that. In the time span of the 3 Years I been driving the S. either teenage girls or middle age women in their late 40's compliment my car as being "CUTE" ugh!!

I believe that if the S is suzuka blue or my color, its cute to either the younger crowd or older.

Mind you I have a pretty aggresive looking CF J's style half lip. and still the old ladies say its cute. FML!!

I just got commented by Redwood City police. "Nice ride, what kind of car is this? What Model? You go NOS?" Mainly, I just get people pull up along side of me and roll down their windows and say "Goddamn clean car!" or "You're car is so low" *passes by, stares w/ their head doing a 720 degree exorcist* still looking...hahahah. Or chics in their C-class, BMW, IS250, Acura etc... wanna trade cars? No...wanna trade numbers? lol j.k

Old lady in a Prius about a couple of months ago: "what a cute car. What is it?"
Me: "is a Honda S2000"
Old lady: "how many mpg do you get?"
Me: "...I honestly have no idea, and I don't really care. Sorry"
