I only had my S for about 3 months and got the "nice whip!" or the regular "Nice car!". When I was driving by a school I had a little kid crossing the street asking their parents "I want that car!". I remember when I pulled up to the a store I made eye contact with this girl (she was, say 20...ish?) and right before she got into the passenger side of a benz she gave me a thumbs up, than I was getting a...I would say a "mad" stare from the driver's side haha.

I always get the comment "nice wheels". Too bad I don't remember what wheels they were talking about cus I had at least 8-9 sets lol

I usually get, "is that car fast"? I usually respond, "no, but I am" lol

I get the "cute" comment too. ><
Hell I call it cute myself. It's a cute car. I'm just glad I no longer get people trying to race me. All the attention it gets is from guys with Hondas, and bikers, who already know what it is and think it's a special car (which I have to agree with).

Super random... But today on 17 south to Santa Cruz... A guy on a R6 tapped his head, and a seconds later, CHP... Pretty sure he was warning me... I was going 55ish in the 40 zone... Conclusion... He must have an S!!!

On the first day of buying my car, I drove out to get some pizza parked in front of some hair salon place. Hairdresser comes out, "omg nice car!" ... rather funny considering convertibles are often referred to as a hairdressers' car.

A diesel tire.
It tweaked one of my fenders a little, took out my front lip, all the under water shielding on the passenger side is gone, and the under tray is banged up.

mine was more of a beginner driver on a 97 infinity qx4. guy liked my car so much that he decided to back into it. now my type js bumper is cracked and headlight is pushed in and also fender is dented. sucks because i just got my car back from my own accident few months ago and now another accident happened all within 1 year of owning the car.

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!!
Bro, tell them how yesterday those guys in probably in their early 20s were asking if we did shit like in the Fast & the Furious - he was hella sincere too! hahahahahaha I was like, dude are you kidding me?

The S is far from a rolling riot.... I get a few comments but not like when she was new a decade ago.
