Best Compliment that you received on your car.
I was cruising down the highway and a guy in a fox vert did a RFB. A quick downshift was all it took for me to instantly catch up to him. By coincidence, we both got off at the same exit. At the stoplight, he pulled up next to me, rolled down his passenger window and yelled across to me "stop it; you're making me want to go to Ford and put $40K down on a new Shelby!"
And then there was the guy in the 1st gen Viper coupe who raced through traffic to catch up to me to give me the "thumbs up."
But I think the biggest compliment of all: the Corvette drivers who race to pull alongside me and then back off.

I went to McDonalds one day and from the time I got to the drive through to the time I drove out of the parking lot I had sic people yell sweet car, nice car stuff like that and countless other things
I've been having a really rough couple of days since my girlfriend dumped me and today as I was leaving school I walked up to my car and saw a piece of paper under my wiper.
Of course my heart sank right away as I thought "great, just what I need, a parking ticket..." But as I got closer I saw that someone had taken the time to get out a piece of paper and write "nice car bro!" on it. It's little things like that that make a huge difference. I have no idea who did it but thanks, whoever you are. Totally lifted my spirits for today.

The first week I had my race red 13 stang I was at work on a smoke break an this guy with a race red 12 parked next to my car. He was looking at it and walking around so I went over to him and he asked me if he could take a pic of the two together. Here is a pic I took that day lol
People always ask me what "Whipple Charged" means. Just yesterday, I was at the gas station and a guy in an older Taurus asked me that question. I told him it was the type of supercharger I had. He asked if he could see it and I was only happy to oblige.
I opened the hood, he took a look and proceeded to clutch his chest and do his best "Elizabeth, I'm coming to see you, honey" impression complete with the words. I laughed and we talked for a few more minutes and went out separate ways. I'll never forget that.
Sometimes, it's almost to the point I hate going to the car wash because I always get hassled by the high school kids in their rice burners asking me all kinds of questions and stuff. Just leave me alone. I want to wash my car and go about my merry way. I don't give 2 rat's hind quarters about your "so low the tires are at a 45 degree angle" piece of crap.

I get alternating hate and love, lol. The haters are mostly dudes trying to prove their Civics and Altimas are race cars. I usually just point and laugh at their antics. Waitress at Applebees last night told me that my car is a huge hit with all the guys in back so I smoked my way out of the lot.

I thought '08 was the only year Grabber Orange was available. Got a friend with an '08 GT/CS that's Grabber Orange and we researched it. We could be wrong, I guess.
