For me it was a female coworker complimenting my Q50 Redsport. Interned at a 3 letter fed agency last summer and one of the other interns who I became friendly with was a mid 20’s former sorority girl - someone you’d never expect to be a car enthusiast. Gave her a ride after work one day since her car was in the shop and immediately after walking up to my car in the garage, started complimenting it. Talked about the VR30TT engine and asked me if the turbos were giving me any trouble, then talked a little shit about how it’s still slower than her car. I asked her what she drove and she had an M2 lol
Was told my Charger GT sounded better than some scats. They weren’t telling the truth but it definitely made me feel good
Earlier today my coworker told me “your car makes a beautiful song”
Nothing better you can do than tell me my car sounds good 😌
This seems made up.
“Dang, you must be rich!”
- referring to my 20-year-old (at the time) 1996 Miata. It was pretty nice, though. 😎
Never had a compliment for my car sadly they always just make fun of me for owning a skoda. At a local VW meet noone even looked at my car wich really bummed me out espacially since they mostly only had lightly lowered polos
“I like your little car, it’s neat” “Thanks”
“The boot/trunk space is insane” Car: Passat B6
Unexpected insult? I had my 996 Turbo lined up for an event and a father & son were wandering around checking out the cars. The ~8 year old son looked at mine and said “That car looks slow”. oof.
Okay, fair enough, the four cars to my right were a GT-R, GT2RS, McLaren 720S, and a Dodge Viper. The three cars to my left were all GT3RS. so yea, I suppose it was the slow one in that row.
I was walking to my car when suddenly i hear “Nice muscle car!”
I drive a 2022 chrysler 300 with a V6. I relayed this to a coworker after clocking out and seeing my white on black 300 in the parking garage. He did not care and still complimented it. We got to talking in the parking garage for about an hour talking about old school muscle cars and how he had one back in the 80’s. Also saddened the V8 is getting replaced. All in all a wholesome and informative experience!
I’ve had people call my car cute.
Friend of mine liked the back seat of my ‘94 626. Said it was the most comfy back seat he’d ever sat on.
marry her
I get ’ is that a Buick?’ and then they are surprised that they even made a Buick like that
Dropped my friend off at her home in the Honda s2000. Her mom said “Nice Porsche” I just replied thanks and never mentioned it was a Honda.
Any compliment I receive is unexpected, because I literally drive a rental car.
I mean, it’s a Mustang convertible, so one of the nicer rental cars, alright, but still, it isn’t special, and I know it. But I still love the compliments it receives anyway. :-)
