i'm in the orange county area of southern california and i get comments all the time...the last one just happened last saturday in a ralphs parking lot, the time before that was thursday in a drive thru...just after getting the car i took it to vegas with a friend and the second i turned onto the strip i got some yells from people walking the strip...honestly, part of what makes me love my car so much, aside from the obvious (price, mpg, etc.), is how many props i get from random people while driving it around...

i never got a stare or inquire about what car i drive. They are everywhere, it's like a parasite, everybody knows what it is here.
although, i did drive to NYC with my Echo hatchback a few years ago.. nobody asked me what kinda car it was :( |

I have only seen like 2 sedans and maybe 3 hatchbacks in my area... Don't seem to be all that popular (unless they're just driving at different times from me)...
No comments from strangers... Just friends/family who have called it: egg pod eggshit (thanks dad) Yanno, the usual stuff...

Yeah, I live in the country. Me being 6'4 and 350 lbs, I get stares and giggles all the time... until I get out of the car. I guess there is something about a giant fat man getting out of a small car that startles people. Of course, I think 3/4 of the stares I get are from people looking at my car vibrating to pieces cause of my subs lol. I like it loud

I usually get "is that a hybrid". Kind of gets irritating. The worst though, was a friend of mine:
"Oh, is that a hybrid?" "No." next day "Oh my friend was telling me how you drive a hybrid, hahaha you can't haul anything in that, what's the point?" "it's not a hybrid, and it hauls ass..." ":O" |
