Not nearly as much as they do as my Tundra. Just saying. What a crying shame. When I had my SC, I hardly ever got any remarks from older people, just the teenagers, etc.

. Not unless your SC has a good modified power train / drive train , more often than not it is the younger crowd who loves seeing the SC..... considering that almost 70% of those who owns an SC belong to the 27 years and younger age .

only a few guys in their 20's (WRX drivers) complimented me saying that not many people know about that car (SC), most compliments were from older gentlemen who own or have owned an SC in the past

I'm not sure how many people out there are as much of an SC nut as we are, but how often do you guys get compliments on your SCs? also, what do they say? no brag! but this is personally my favorite car in the world so it always feels so good when I get compliments on my ride. And it's not because of me! Thanks to my previous owners for keeping her so clean.
I've had someone once come up to me while I was at a red light, he said to me, "Your ride is beautiful. I'm going to have to start car-jacking next week if you keep this up"
wasn't sure what to make of that LOL
Please post pics if you have some~

Concur, I was driving my Tundra and a guy stopped me at the gas station and asked if he could check it out. He peeked inside the driver side and complimented on how nice it is, he jumped back into his F150.

SMH @ pick up guys
I had a guy in a lifted pick up years ago call my 400 a POS, I was too shocked to reply, I could not believe he was even talking to me; My car was so clean you could eat off it.
The best compliment I've gotten was from a guy that had one in 2005 but wrecked it in 2009 driving in the snow. He called himself giving me pointers and telling me "if i take care of it, it will last a long time". I said to him "I know, I've owned this car since 2001" with the look that a senior would give a freshman giving him tips on how to survive high school ended the conversation. oh well

I've had many compliments on my SC...All age groups! Many don't know what it is except for the younger crowd. I have had people literally stop me and ask me if my SC was a brand new model and what model that was...
It's nice when it's a 23 year old car...Wondering what people will ask when they see it now...

Car is 24 years old and the usual comments of awe happen when people find out it's as old as it is. As for strangers making comments, it's usually men in the 30-50 age range that make comments. Often at gas stations, almost always when I'm fueling, by myself.. . I am 30 however and people younger than me rarely talk to me. I've had this car since I was 17!!!
