Compliments Thread

Post your best compliments you've gotten on your car in here. I'm sure there are some good ones to hear about.

I'll go first:

I know I only drive an LT, but after I had my projectors and my rims installed I actually had a girl ask me what kind of BMW I had. I didn't quite know how to answer her, but as I walked away I was thinking "I guess girls really are that stupid". Made me feel really good though about my car.

Not really a compliment, but I've got a real loud exhaust lol.

Got pulled over for it one time, and the cop told me that his shift was about to end, than he says " if this was a cvic, I'd give you the ticket, but I like your creativity" lol. Let me go that day.

I had an older guy, around 40, come up to me and tell me he loved my car and the color (sunburst orange). He said it reminded him of when he was young and ran camaro's. I love getting compliments from other people who know cars.

Also after I beat a guy in a stock boxer he told me it felt like somebody just cut his ***** off

Someone saw me driving a few times, finally noticed the cobaltss.net sticker, tracked me down on here and said it was "nice to see a sexy woman driving a sexy car". How nice

I get stares and waves from people everyday. More than a dozen people told me this was the best looking car they've seen in a long time. And women love the Lazer Blue!
This car turns heads and creates smiles.
...or maybe its just the hot driver behind the wheel!

I got complimented by a guy in a Porsche Carrera 911 convertible today. We were both turning left, he was in the right lane and I was in the left (two turn lanes), as we straightened out, I gunned it through first and a bit of second and then let off (not even realizing the 911 was just about next to me). At the next light he was next to me and said "Damn man that sounds insane! Are you boosted?" Then he complimented my color, which, as we all know, Arrival Blue is the best. I thanked him and told him I'm completely stock and not the supercharged cobalt...

Not sure why, but at wide open throttle, a lot of people seem to think that the 2.2 ecotec sounds like it has a supercharger...it does whine a little bit and is pretty loud for a stock engine...(unless a K&N drop in makes it not stock anymore )

I get the standard "is that the supercharged one?" all the time. Im gonna take that as a compliment. And then sometimes i get the "man i can really hear the turbo!" which would just be the intake noise.

I once had a mexican (literally from mexico) guy stop short of a red light about three cars just to hang out of his window and say "oye!! corre bien ese carrito!? esta boniiiito!!".

Most of the time I just get lots of looks. The biggest compliment is probably when people in other cars cant take their eyes off of mine and will contort their neck or body in any way possible just to keep staring. lol
