Great comments from neighborhood kids yesterday.

[JL8Jeff]

I had both garage doors open to let warm air in yesterday. And I was under the SS working on it as some kids came by on bikes and skateboards. Here are some of the comments I heard them making:

"Whoa, look at that car in the garage!"
"Hey, their's a boat in there too!"
"Cool, look at those tires, look how big they are!" - this was in reference to the 315/35/17's sitting in front of the boat
"Hey, there's somebody under the car!"

I was just laughing but it's a good sign that some of the younger kids might not be as dumb as the current crop of ricer's.

Nice! If those were kids on my bus theyd be like "HONDA!!"

[trashman01]

Why do you drive a miata? I never wanted to ask.....

It is a great feeling. When the weather's nice and I drive down my street, there's always this house where a lot kids play outside, and every time they see me pass by they all run to the curb and start going crazy. That just something that a Honda owner can never experience.

Yes I know that feeling. First full day I had my camaro, i drove down a backroad behind my house with the T-Tops off, and a crowd of little kids were like "Coooooooooool nice car!"

Thats a feeling, Matt, you will never experience :lol: :j/k:

when I had my 76, I was going to RVCC and I was stuck in traffic on a side street in raritan. there was a group of about 7 kids walking down the street (kinda ghetto looking kids, dressed very urban like). they were all talking and one of them saw my car and just yells out "holy ****! look at that car!" then they all run up and start making comments about how good it sounded and asked me what it was. I told them it was a 76 camaro and they were in shock. on kid even said it "looked like the batmobile" :lol:

I was delivering chinese food once as a temp job (Steve knows all about that :D), and had a delivery to a house, mansion if you will, in alpine. Multi-million dollar house easily... real rich people here, the kind that buy their kids the newest BMW, Benz or Audi for their 17th birthday.

So I am parked right outside the front door since they had a huge U-driveway, and the mother goes to get her credit card... this little kid, he was 4 or 5, runs to the door, looks at my car and a big grin comes onto his face. He goes "thats a nice car!!" asked me what it was, and then when his mom came back he was bragging to her about how its a nice car and its awesome and he wants one :D

Lots of times in that job I got that from little kids, middle-aged people, old people... happens too with co-workers now, and driving aroudn town. it's a really cool feeling.

[NJSPEEDER]

the way i come home from work i cut through one of the back neighborhoods around here. on the way down one of the streets there is a group of kids that is always outside if the weather is about 50degrees and not raining.
they always compliment the camaro.
can't wait to see how they react to the new exhaust. lol

[oh one ls1 SS]

i love getting compliments on my car..i was in wild wood 2 summers ago cruisen with my friend had the tops off..system pumpen (yea..im one of them) so i get stuck at a red light with aalllll these hotties comeing out of a bar (i was 20 at the time) and this one drunk ass guy walks infront of my car and goes "OHH ****!! SS CAMARO!!! REV THAT **** UP!!!" haha so of course i did with the cut out open and he got happy as hell and all the chicks screamed..it was great

[trashman01]

:drool: :lol: :bow:

[Firebird67dude]

I used to get comments in the 67 all the time. I used to get older guys the ones that had the car new myb in 67, and theyd come up and be like "awesome car, sounds great." Those were the best. No the T/A is known around me as the BEEHIVE car cuz of the taillights.

[BigAls87Z28]

When I was playing with the 72, I got compliments from everyone going down my road, between kids and regular people. Someone said "wow, split bumper, nice!"

[Squirrel]

girls at school love the TA..thats where we will leave it:twisted:

[Brando56894]

yea ive gotten alotta comments on my car too, alotta ppl think its a trans am :D its kinda funny alotta times the guys at the gas station are like "beautiful car!" lol

[Jersey_TA]

I've had little kids on sepperate(sp) occassions give me a thumbs up. :)

I've also scared people by revving it with the cut-out open if they don't know how to get out of the road when a car is coming :twisted:

[foff667]

because he bought one for his wife and i dont believe she drives stick yet?

werd, it was for her...she gave up learning how to drive stick so rather then let the car go to waste its now my beater car.

[foff667]

thats actually the part i miss most about my Z :( get to scare people in other peoples cars now but its just not the same.

[coldkilla]

there were these kids, about 10, in my apt complex and i was driving by in my bird one day when one of the kids says "is that car fast?" and i was like "its too fast." and the kid goes "too furious!" hehe, that cracked me up.

[bokey]

I remember when I had my camaro... Almost every stop light I would have somebody looking. And whenever I was in a parking lot somebody would ALWAYS say something about it. I remember my girlfriend telling me "If I hear another person say something about your Camaro that you don't know, I'm gonna explode!" haha such a great feeling.

At least now she likes camaros... and motorcycles ;) :lol:

[turbo96z28]

almost all the comments i got on my car last year where something along the lines of "nice car, what's the duct tape on the front for?"

[Savage_Messiah]

:werd: :lol:

[bluecobaltss06]

Haha, when I first got my car, I was sitting at a light, and some like 13 year old kid was riding by on his bike. He damn near hit a telephone pole while he was looking at my car. He goes "whoa nice rims! and that wing is awesome." Little does he know, its stock. :D

I was driving with the T-tops off on Route 130 by Cranbury last summer and some kids driving by in an SUV rolled down the windows and asked me what I did when it rained. I explained it to them but they still didn't get it so I just revved the engine and sped off as they clapped. Apparently, the concept of T-tops was completely foreign to them. I also get stares from just about everybody. It's nice to have a car that everyone is intrigued by but I forget sometimes and I'm like "what the freak are you staring at?" and then I'm like "oh, right. The car."

[bitchincamaro]

i actually get alot of compliments from kids in my car too. the best was this kid who live around town pulls up on his bike ( he was about 15/16, had pretty bad ass huffy, i think it was a 21 speed), and told me him and his friends were always at the track and said they would always watch me race, then run to the return road to watch me drive by. he was pretty psyched just talking to me, telling me how much he liked my car and that all his friends new about it. i was being as cool as i could to him, showing him everything and just telling him about stuff. its cool to think i might have inspired him. chances are he'll probably end up building something in a few years.

My advice (and alos TR's advice) is to "walk softly and carry a big stick". let them talk all they want about hondas, but when it comes time to race, thou shall layeth the smack down on those punks!

[93 Trans Am WHAT]

i once got a little boy maybe 7 or 8 grab his crotch(?) point at my car and go WOAH! silly

[JW]

I drove the TA to work one day and came outside after work and saw a note on my window. Automatically I was thinking "Great... no one leaves notes on your car for a good reason....!" The note started by saying "Hello, I am a cop in middle township.... my name is.... " after just reading that I was think damn man what did I do now!? But as the note progressed he just said he saw my car one day and heard it and it sounded damn good and that he had a 71 Trans Am and was looking at exhaust to get for it and was wondering what I had done to mine. Later that day I called him and went to his house to bring him some catalogs and stuff I had, he was a cool guy and we talked about cars for a good 2 hours. But that sure made me feel good one day hehe.

JW :D
