    What are some comments you have heard people say when they are near your exotic? Also list things you weren't "supposed" to hear.

    I hear repost. Although I don't have a Ferrari, I wonder how I hear it.

    I mean the comments you have heard people say when they walk by your car. I have heard people say very interesting things around it. The same for you guys? If you park your exotic outside of a restaurant and sit outside to eat you can hear people comment about it as they walk by and what they do around it. I have had somebody sit on it while they got their picture taken! Have you done this? Any interesting things happen?

    I don't own a Ferrari, but the mailman once asked me how I liked my Volvo. Said he wanted to get his wife one.

    I don't own one, and most of the time I'll admire from afar.
    But if I am next to it and the owner is right there, I'll throw in a "nice (insert model here)", or "one of these days..."

    before I used to say "He's probably compensating for something else."
    Now I say "So what?!"

    Usually they ask "What do you do (for work)?"

    I have heard people say "Look at that sweet car" and things like that. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

    How much is it worth is what most people ask.

    Sort of like asking a woman her bust size and "...are they real?"

    Not much. They said a lot more about my 4-headlight 330 2+2.

    Somewhat related I suppose...

    I drove into a hotel valet with my new Z06 a few months ago, gave the car to the kid, but walked up to my room with the keys still in my pocket (keyless ignition on Corvette's). Five minutes later I received a call from the valet telling me that he needs the keys to my Ferrari so he can start it up again later... I suppose it was the best compliment I had received about the Z.
