Question Hey! Is that a ..........???

I've had my SVX for only two weeks and so far I've been getting total whack a$$ reactions from neighbors & people passing by:

"Hey! Is that an Accord?"

"Hey! Where'd ya get the custom windows for that Talon?"

What kind of screwy questions/comments/misnomers do y'all get about your SVX?

I'll never forget the day a Subaru saleswoman asked "Is that a Honda?"

I personally love the windows now. Depending on how you sit in the car it feels like the bars on the window are like a roll cage . But i love to slouch when i drive ...my seat is all the way back

"How much did it cost to alter your windows?"---Dunkin Donuts drive through person.

"Is that a new Toyota?" --Police Officer patrolling a shopping plaza parking lot.

"Do your windows REALLY roll down, or is it all fake?" -- Curious
guy at work.

"Can the top part of the glass roll down too?" -- Clueless stranger.

"Is that a new Subaru?"--Another drive through guy.

My favorite was from a friend of my brother : "From the side, I thought it was a Lambo. It's one of the sexiest cars I've ever seen."

"is that some kind of prototype? or a pace car?"

"is the the new subaru?" (made me wonder what "the new subaru" he was referring to )

"that's an alfa right?" (had only seen the rear end)

"is that a mercury?" (had only seen the front end )

also:

"how do you like all that glass?" (one of the more intelligent questions I've been asked )

"where did you get your windows done?"

"your exhaust sounds sexy" (apparently a sexy car can make even a gross rattly exhaust leak sound sexy)

...and the saga continues. not a day goes by that I don;t get some kind of comment and a few handfulls of double-takes.

"Is that...nah...a Subaru? REALLY???"

"Nice, a Lamboghini!"

"Cool windows...where'd you get them from?"

"Was that car introduced by Subaru recently?"

"Sweet ride dude. Looks like an exotic!"

"Your windows have, like, issues. You may want to, like, get them fixed." The group of girls in the King Ranch Ford F-150 sitting next to me at a stop light.

"Dude, did you do those windows yourself, because you did a kick ass job, man." The guy in the Toyota Tercel also sitting next to me at a stoplight.

It is so hard for me to say that they are stock. Boy does it blow some peoples minds when they see the windows.

and I get all the Floridian Idiots who dont even know much about
subaru
"What type of car is that?" "its a subaru" "SUBARU? DONT THEY MAKE WAGGONS????"

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving Through the Ghetto... AKA where I live
Guy on the side of the street:
"DAYUM DOG.. THAT RIDE IS TIGHT!"
(yes... exact quote there)

Parked at my my mom's Walgreens where she works
(still in the ghetto)
From a cop: "that car looks way to expensive to be in this side of town"

Now... I also have that nasty sounding Valve tick... so
i got this comment at the track:
"dood... put some oil in that thing!"
me: "Alot of subaru's make that valve tick... performance isnt hurt"
"ok dood... i bet you wont hit 12sec"
After the 10.7 1/8 run
me: Well? What do you think now?
Meen look from the guy
Smiles from the girls around him

Even my girl (that was IN THE CAR WITH ME while i took it on the track) thought that was funny

"heres your change" HAND SMACKS UPPER WINDOW "OMG... Im sorry... I didnt see you had a Lambo" ROFLMAO


and lets not forget, the atleast 1 out of every 10 cars... i get a head turning to look at the car to figure out what it is
