Be me

Be headed to MIL to take care of Chihuahuas

Pull into turn lane waiting to turn to MIL’s street

Be next to B14 Sentra with nice roof rack + understated black 6 spoke wheels and sticky tires.

Driver is young kid (18-20ish)

Kid gives me thumbs up

Be me, feel super awkward because have no reason why he would give me a thumbs up

Give big standard, usual frown and return attention to signal light

Remember that I am driving my FoST with Ray’s 57Xtremes and some other things

Realize I was being a dick because I didn’t think anyone else appreciated my car as much as me

Think, well let me give it a good launch at least

Be me behind Honda Odyssey driven by H1B holder......

Unrelated meme because Mercedes pedal car.

I remember at a light one time some kids in a highly modded Sw20 were next to me and they caught me checking it out. They must have though i was staring at them taking their steering wheel on and off and the light. They joke and hold it out the window. “AH LOOKNO WHEEL!”

“Nice Sw20, what year? Is it the FE? or the GTE?”

“I...uh...thanks its....”

Light turns green and I drive away.

Every now & then when I get a cool car to review I get thumbs-up from dudes at stoplights. Mustangs, Challengers, Alfa 4C, 124 Abarth all got positive reactions. Not so with the AMG GTS last summer. I think people just assumed I was some rich toolbag and didn’t even acknowledge me or the car.
