Got my first REAL compliment on the car

cdheaven · 02-07-2006, 04:50 PM

After like 6 months. Today when i was leaving a "business meeting" (which im very excited about, but thats another story). I walk out and this older guy is pacing circles around my car. He asked if it was mine and told me how nice it was, wanted to know if i changed the whole front bumper or what. i explained to him i just added the carbon fiber lips. he said he has 2 bmws. there was a 750 in the parking lot,but i dont THINK it was his. i got the idea he has some older ones. who knows. real nice dude. i woulda stayed and talked to him longer, and im sure he would asked me silly questions for hours, but i was already late for work. But it was nice to have someone really interested in the ride. reminds me of the good old times with my last car.

i haven't had that experience from strangers, yet. only people i know, and you can't never tell whether they're just being courteous or really interested...

People give me compliments all day long... It makes me feel so good! But now they are mostly on the exhuast... When I first got the car and they were not common I got a lot more on the car itslef...

My best one was a female Military SP stopping me at the base gate and said all nice-like "You got a real nice car, dont cha..."

I said "yeah" all bashful-like.

I find that the ladies melt when you go on a date and pick them up in the e90 (happened twice in less than a month of ownership). Of course 95% of So. Cal women only care about $$. But I guess thats ok cause all I care about is

I found I got a lot more compliments from strangers with my last car ('04 G35 sedan) than with my current '06 330i. Perhaps it was the color (midnight blue versus Titanium Silver)

Good thing I didn't buy it to impress others, I guess.

I get compliments all the time, from dudes giving the thumbs up to young girls blowing kisses my way...I would say this car attracts as much attention as my Blue/White Suzuki Gsx-R does...But when I meet a girl for the first time and she asks what kinda car I drive I still tell them that I drive a 91 civic...But when I pick em up in the E90 their facial expression is priceless...

"Man does not live by bread alone"

Physical nourishment is not sufficient for a healthy life; man also has spiritual needs.

Compliments are endless when your rolling in a winner...

My wife's red C230 draws more compliments than my SG 330i. But the uninformed public comments on the Mercedes, enthusiasts comment on the 330i.
