Hell Nolan, I think that I gave you one of those looks for that.

I get a lot of looks, but it's always for nice reasons .... I can't tell you how many times people have pulled up and asked what kind of car I have (I have the emblems off ... all but the toyota, anyway), a few times I have been asked about where I got my wheels and I have had a TON of people say 'That's the cutest little car!!" and absolutely love it. No one has ever been snotty :) I think the car just makes people happy when they see it LOL

^Nobody's really gonna scoff at a woman driving a small car. Conventionally it goes hand-in-hand.

It's us that are always get the "gay" comments. We have to keep our factory-issued lugwrenches in the aux glove box for that reason

Smart people realize that you're just taking what you need and leaving some gas for them.

Great avatar pic JB!

Our car was #1 on the gay list. Don't you forget it.

Something I made up in response to Tomato's experience with people looking down their noses at her car.

haha that's awesome

I can honestly say I have never had that - hell, even my parents (my dads girlfriend drives an M6 convertable ... and my dad has a nice fleet himself) love my car, I guess I'm lucky not working/living around snotty people!

Snob.....

Kioshi · 10-24-2009, 06:19 PM

I never got the look directly, but indirectly...yeah..

I just show them the handling through the curves on the ramp and the road...then no more "looks"....i still can't manage to rub off the cute looks from people's faces...

LEGATO`` · 10-24-2009, 08:19 PM

Hmm, I guess it might just be different for us sedan owners. I've never gotten 'the look' though. The only looks I've honestly gotten are the 'Damn, what kind of car is that?' kind of looks. Probably because, IMO, the sedan doesn't really look as much as an economy-gas-saving car it's supposed to be.

TEHxFALLEN V1.2 · 10-24-2009, 09:25 PM

I remember getting "the look" when I was coming home, and these dudes in a truck behind me looked like they were up to no good and smiling deviously at me. Next thing you know, these two girls pull up on my driver's side at a red light saying they want to suck my dick.

There was a size 40D bra on the back of my car, dangling on my rear windshield wiper..

+1 ... I think there is a huge disconnect from the 'vibe' the sedan gives, it doesn't look like a tiny little compact car (and compared to some of the other cars in our class, it is really larger) so I think we may be saved from that attitude our smaller brothers and sisters get

TLyttle · 10-24-2009, 11:23 PM

I guess I am impervious to The Look, after driving odd cars most of my life. I drove Morris Minors for 30 years, and ALWAYS got The Look in various contexts: one was contempt, from Cadillac drivers, seeing my car as an insect to be squashed. The Look from "sports car" drivers who can't drive. The Look from young girls who thought my little ragtop was soooooo cuuuuuute!, much to the disgust of her boyfriend. The Look from pump jockeys who couldn't put near enough fuel in my 6 1/2 gallon tank.....
