Nobody really looks at my car, not even cops. Don't really get many compliments, apart from every time I pop the hood I get a bunch of people taking photos haha. But there are a few instances that pop to mind...
Over new years, had the car parked out on the road, me and a few mates were chillin nearby. Bunch of kids (15y/o'ish) came walking through, one of them looked at my plate (PSIBRG) and said something along the lines of "HAH, I hate people who put PSI on slow shitty cars... what is this a Civic?" Was pretty obvious they didn't know shit about cars. I decided to get my bullshit on

strolled on over and told him it's a 400kw car, runs high 9's. They all laughed. I popped the hood (lots of shiny things) and they all started jumping around going OHHH SHIIT, HE WASN'T LYING!!. The dude who originally hated on it shook my hand 3 times and congratulated me. Good times
Also, back in the day I had a race with a stingray Vette. I had a 4G61T at the time, with a laggy 16G that ran 10psi but spiked up to around 24psi at bout 6000rpm. He got the jump and stayed in front thru 1st and 2nd, once I hit 3rd and got the boost up I reeled him in like he was in reverse. Pulled up at the lights after, guy was grinning ear to ear, gave me the thumbs up and said "what you got in there?".
I said "stock 1.6L"
And he wound his window up
That's about as far as my compliments go.
