yeah, well sort of. i see a lot of 7thgens around my town, but never happen to be next to them. they're always turning, driving the other direction, and all that sort. but i have had a guy try and race me one time, he was in an older 300z, but it was nice to see that he actually thought i had a chance, whether he knew anything about cars or not

but the one time that i know another 7th gen was checking my car out was cool. it was an Inca Gold coupe that had some fixings on it, and i passed him on a road that had two lanes going in the same direction. i tried to slow down to give him one of the flyers i have that jarrod made, but HE kept slowing down too! I'd speed up again, and so would he. I just hope he wasn't avoiding me.lol.

Thanksgiving is great. It should be longer though.

I get some looks sometimes too, but my car is low key not too flashy. I like it that way. I always think it is funny when Mr ugly car drives by with his fart pipe and redlines it to be the "faster" car in the two lanes. That **** is awsome man!!

It is pretty normal to look at another car just to see what they have in it. Everytime I drive and I see a cool car I always look to see who's driving it and I notice people do the same so it is pretty normal for me.

I do get a since of satisfaction when I know someone is checking out my car... be it young or old. But turly I am never satisfided because I know I could do a lot more(but no money). But for those couple of seconds I enjoy it!

And Sweeteli99 I do the exact same thing... everytime I pass by a wall of glass I just stair at the car roll or it there is a shiny car next to me I like to see my rims spin. And every morning there is a shopping center I pass by I look at it everytime.

i stare at my cars reflection all the time now, but almost get in accidents quite a bit. my car is pretty clean looking, so sometimes people, mostly other honda/acura guys look over and give me a , but a lot of times people just rice around.
