Reactions from people seeing your car?

[PyreXXX]

Man, keep these stories coming guys - some of them are really funny!

[entelijint]

trade you straight up

i wont lie, that's actually somewhat tempting...

[KEZAR32]

Something I tried that all of you guys have to do (keeping in mind im a young punk with WAY too much time on his hands) ... I tried it and I may have almost caused an incident ... Find a Crash-Test dummy or blow up doll (San Fransisco) put it in your passenger seat .... While you in the drivers seat put on BIG Wrap around sunglasses that blind people wear and put a blanket over the steering wheel ... Wow, people start honking trying to warn your or something? But yeah ... Try it.

LOL!! that's freakin GREAT!

I did something like what F40 described with the g/f and her old steering wheel, but this is GOLD.
I wouldn't want to put a blanket over the wheel, but maybe just tilt the wheel all the way down due to it being a potential driving hazard. you would probably get nearly the same effect.
Now i just need to find a way to explain to my girlfriend why all of a sudden a blowup doll has gotten into my possession... "I swear, it's not mine, i'm holding it for a friend..." (never thought i'd have to say that to anybody other than a cop)

[assman]

OH i forgot to add, I HATE HATE HATE when people ask me how much i paid for it.

[sushtsi]

when people ask how much I pay.... I rev up the engine and say ... " More than you can afford...... Skyline" lol... just kidding. I just say that i've paid enough and they aren't cheap to own.

[lucky_cefiro]

i just reply kindly with a smile, "enough"

[jonesy]

I get the same stuff from most people as you guys: Crowds of ricer idiots (I actually had some kid want to shake my hand for buying a Skyline.... Tard!!) and confused people telling me my steering wheel's on the wrong side.... I thouroughly enjoyed that "no it's not, it's on the right side" comment, that's what I've been saying all along.

My Good Cop stories: First, I'd only had the car for about a week, cruising home calmy after work doing about 115 in a 110. Cop comes out of the on-ramp, follows me for about 200m, hits the cherries. WTF?!?!!? I think, I'm only doin 5 over, goddam tight-a$$.... Cop comes to the left side of the car, so I roll down the window and try to explain that it's right hand drive, what is he crazy standing out there on the side of the road?
Cop laughs (Good sign!!), comes over to my side and asks: do you know why I've pulled you over?
Actually, No. I reply. I thought I might be speeding a little, but only a couple of k's over.
Cop: You were going 112, and I'm not pulling anyone over for that. However, I've been a traffic cop for 20 odd years now, and I need you to explain to me how there is a car on the road legally (it is legal, right?) that I don't recognize!!!

Guy and I sat and BS'd for the better part of an hour.

And later that day when my car got broken into, who's working and comes out to see my car? Same guy. Thank god. Or the deity of your choice.
Second one was last week, and I had 4 RCMP cars parked around me at the Starbucks by work. Most my co-workes, getting their morning coffee, figure that whatever I've done, it's major, so go back to the office and of course the drama wheels start spinning. In the 15 minutes I was chatting with the cops (especially a very attractive female one!!!) I went from being a mild mannered father of 2 to Ghengis Khan with an 8ball a day habit.... My co-workers actually cheered when I made it to our daily meeting, on time, no less!!

I took it through a drive-thru on New Year's (Cook?? Me?? Please!!) going thru backwards, of course. The guys at the window told me they were just about to call the cops, because they figured I'd started drinking early....LOL

The attention I've begun to enjoy is the calm, quiet type. The guy that pulls a double take, then calmly nods and gives you the thumbs up as he goes by. Obviously someone that's had some attention getters, and knows how old it gets.

Okay, those are mine, and I know they're lame, so someone out-do me!!

[AdvanTech]

Man, keep these stories coming guys - some of them are really funny!

I agree. Best thread I've read all week

[Daryl @ RightDrive]

going thru backwards, of course.

seriously, you actually did that?!

[dah_hunter]

Me and My friends go through Backwards all the time. and not in the skyline.
Mainly at Timmys, and all we order is a Timbit.

YaY

[entelijint]

going thru backwards, of course.

I'm a little lost... isnt that what we all do when we get to a drivethru without a passenger? :?
and by we all, i mean those of us not fortunate enough to live in japan :wink:

f, that, i go thru forwards 90% of the time and get special treatment....they walk out of the tims to my car.

[MNW]

I've been asked if my car was some sort of european mustang.

I've had a car full of girls pull up beside me and start screaming and freaking out (that actually scared me because the driver looked really drunk).

Lots of cell phone cameras.

Lots of people challenging me to races, including several bone stock cavaliers who thought they'd give it a try. Not revving past 3500 they still didn't keep up, it was kinda funny.

Several "is that legal?"

Came out to my car one day after class and there is a father and son team taking pictures. The kid wanted to know how much i'd sell it for and then proceeded to tell me its his favorite car and he is so happy to actually see one in person.

Even had the people from PASMAG ask me if it was a real skyline when i went to SCN in saskatoon.

Had a guy ask me where i got the bodykit for the 240, cuz he really liked it. That made me laugh cuz he didn't even notice the RHD till i asked him if it really looked like a 240, then he was like yeah, but the differences are..."holy **** its RHD!!!!" I couldn't stop laughing as i drove away.

Now my question is how many of you have been laid because you drive a skyline?!?!

[GT-Rob]

lol well I havent been laid BECAUSE of the car. I think a girl that would sleep with you just because you drive a RHD would be uh....not clean.... :P

I have however done the impossible IN the car. im 6'5 and my GF is 6'. Back seat, front seats taken out. I pulled a muscle in my leg but we managed to get r done
