I'm going to get my car tinted because I feel like I'm in a fishbowl and I would prefer to have my windows darker knowing every Red light the car next to me is looking over to race lol

Tint is the first thing I did when I got my car, but it's mostly because i like my privacy.. Strangers don't give each other compliments in my area. I see the heads turning, so that's enough of a compliment for me.

Same but I got a tint to protect me and the car's interior from the sun. I could care less if they want to race, I usually take em on.

I had a guy last week at the light in a new IS250 ask, "How do you like your new 250", I said, "It's not a 250 its a 350," and sped off.

I have gotten so many complements and head turns about my car since I picked it up last February! It took awhile for me to process it but a few weeks ago, my fiance used my car (her car is up in NJ right now) and was surprised by how many people stop to look or ask questions about the car. And last week, when at a stoplight, a DC metrobus driver was gesturing for me to roll down my window. I am used to metrobus drivers making obscene gestures and driving like maniacs, but this guy loved the car and asked about its top speed. I chatted with him until the light turned green and then peeled off at WOT (up to the speed limit, of course to let him hear the car a little bit.

Disclaimer! I know they were looking at my car because they were not wearing sunglasses and their front window wasn't tinted

Disclaimer! I know these were 3series as opposed to say 5series because I know what a 3series looks like from the front

Disclaimer! I was still paying attention to the road while driving when I caught these people staring for a nanosecond.
LOL Same here, man! Lots of 3 series flashing their eyes at me and my babe Lexi

No way! My dad would never take my IS and had me or my mother catch him flirting or being flirted by

Since day 1 I've gotten so many necks turned and broken Went to the pharmacy that same night and an older guy (45-50) said it was such a beautiful car. I replied I wasn't sure about the color, and he said the color was gorgeous!

Stopped at a red light at an intersection and a couple drove by me in an Audi A4 and the girl kept starring at it while the guy gave me the pickle sucker face Guess he hated on it!

A vast majority of 3 series owners have turned their necks like Chucky to admire Lexi I just sip on my pride tea and keep minding my own business

Lastly, as I have so many stories, I was at the gym and came out to find a guy with an Audi A4 parked so damn closed to me. When he saw my facial expression, he said "I'm sorry for parking here; I was careful not to dent your car. BTW, that's a gorgeous car" I think he got scare of me

+1 on strangers not giving compliments...must be a CA thing. Ha.
I've only had one drunk hillbilly say my car was nice. But he said it in more of a "you don't deserve it cuz you look like a punk kid" sort of way, so I just ignored him. Lol. Other than that luxury cars are pretty standard in my area and especially where I live, so no one usually cares.
