Do Compliments About Your Car.....

I don't see how an unsolicited compliment could be considered showing off. Now if you respond with a string of statistics without being asked, that could be considered showing off. When I first had the Zed, I was a bit uneasy about the attention it got. I didn't feel I was showing off, rather I just generally prefer to not stand out. At some point I realised, no one was noticing me, just the car. I'm good with that. While I appreciate any compliments, I'd just as soon talk about something else in person. I get all the Zed talk I need right here!

I always quote stats when someone compliments my car :|

Just to be clear, I was simply quoting my half of a conversation involving questions... I just usually just say "thanks" ... And feel embarrassed :D
 
When I'm driving this I receive a lot admiring glances and comments from the opposit sex

However when I'm out in my Fiesta runabout I'm invisible :cry:

Only had family and friends compliment our zed,until this week then one of the delivery drivers at work,and a neighbour both said how gorgeous the zed looked(must of been this thread! :) )
 
I've had quite a few comments.. mainly because of mg age and the fact that I can look 16 on a clean shaven day. its a little embarrassing because commentors are usually a lot older and quite flattering... I take the humble subtle approach ... 'yeh its not bad. doesn't ride anything like your typical car though... too harsh and the steerings weird :('. otherwise I'd just come across as a smug c*ck. I do appreciate the comments but didn't buy it to impress anyone.. I don't smoke or drink so thought I'd treat myself to something I enjoy :D

That was clear to me. I was not directing any comment to you in particular, just offering my opinion in general.

Hadn't taken offence :thumbsup:
 
i occasionally get compliments paid, i don't feel awkward in any way, i normally have a chat with the person and basically agree with their observation.

it's almost always elderly gentlemen on supermarket carparks. i don't know what to make of that :D
 
I had a guy follow me into the gym carpark the other day to have a look at my car and I was really pleased and chuffed he did, turns out he had looked at an M coupe a few weeks back but was put off by the VED and potential bills, partly because his brother owned a problematic E46 M3.

We had a good 10 minute chat all about my car and cars in general, and I thought he was a member of my gym until he put his helmet back on, hopped on his bike and went :rofl: it was only then I realised he had gone out of his way to follow me in as he was behind me for at least a mile or so!

I have also had the usual kids at traffic lights and carparks shouting "nice car" and ive got to be honest I love it :D
