I was just driving along when a 5.0 mustang with this 16yr old kid driving w/ his 13 yr old brother in the passager seat pulled up next to me.
He then down shifted and chirped his tires.
I was like o.k.
We go farther down the road and he does it again.
I take the bait and down shift to.
I imediatly pull him hard.
I then pull into the gas station to gas up and he pulls up next to me and says, " Wow, your the first import I ever lost too."
I was like O.k.
And then he ask me what it redlines at.
I say, "9000 rpms"
Him- " So you shift at 8 k huh?"
Me- " No I shift at 9 k"
Him- " But that's when you start floating valves"
By now I was thinking to myself like yeah maybe floating valves in your 5.0 mustang. lol
Me- "o.k."
Him- " that's a front wheel drive right?"
Me- "No....it's rear wheel drive."
Him- "For real??.....No wonder i always beat my brother in GT 3 when i drive the S2000"
I go on my mary way. lol

Around Atlanta, gas station comments usually amount to "Nice Car".
Since I normally have the top down, I get a lot of that at red lights, too. It sometimes includes a "How fast will it go?"

I've been approached at gas stations more times than I can count over the past 4 years. I always take time to talk cars with them and show them a thing or two about the car. 
I remember when a nice owner did the same for me before I could purchase one and I am forever obligated to reciprocate.
He also turned me onto S2Ki.com and I still hand out our "calling cards" at every opportunity.

Haha, thanx. It runs in the family as my Uncle was a multi-term Congressman in Suffolk County, NY. Not ALL politicians are scum.

And my boss is like WHOA thats a sweet car, is it yours? im like nope.
Then he was like well thats something to aspire too, laughing, then he says whats that like 80-90 grand.
So, im like no, its just a Honda!
Then he was like "THATS A HONDA!" I thought it was a porshe or something exotic like that!
Did it just come out?
me: no it has been out since 2000
(I tell him the history of s2000 here..............)
He walks away saying, maybe once you get that next big raise you can buy one.
me: laughing inside, waiting to go home, to drive my baby.
