The kids that drive the Escorts and Civic hatchbacks with self-done tint, fake-chrome hub caps, and washer LEDs give me a "your car would be nicer than mine but I have six neon bars in my interior" look. High school girls give me a "wanna see my panties?" look. But for the most part I get "what the heck is that?" looks, since there are only a couple in this city.

I always catch them if I look in my rearview. Most people in cars catch the wheels at red lights (SVT on centercaps I guess) and then start looking over the whole car.

My black 96 looks like a Narc car but people don't notice it except for the fact that it's black tinted windows and all black makes it look mysterious...when it was green - no looks SVT? Every fu(kin' day - all day - everywhere. I have to park it in viewing range @ work. I drove past this one hot chick couple days ago and could read her lips saying "that's one tight ass car". Hmm.. oh lots of stares from the BMW people too (My area has a lot of those 'luxury' type vehicles) the sound from the exhaust alone gets everyones attention.
