Got admiring stares ;-)

I think this is on topic because it speaks to the beauty of our I's.

I washed my car today - sparkling clean, chrome shining, tires dressed and all, and damn it looked good.

Well a few minutes ago I went to the gas station to fill up. Next to this gas station is a Sonic where all the ricers gather...you should have seen them stare as I drove by. I wasn't sure what to think of it until I pulled into the station at a pump next to a guy filling up his new S500. I caught him staring as I pulled up. As I got out of the car I looked over and asked him if it was an S55, he said no, but he had the sport package. I told him I really liked his AMG wheels. He then said, "Yeah, I was looking at your car as you drove up, I really like it. It's nice."

Hehe..it's nice to get that kind of affirmation

I know the look. Many times at stop lights I catch people looking at my wheels and tires.

I imagine that a moded I30/35 is something you don't see everyday. With all my badges removed and replace with cefiro and 30STouring ones, I get asked what kind of car it is all the time. I parked next to a green, 96, stock, I30t(same car as mine) the other day and the two cars looked nothing alike.

They arent exactly in my hands yet. I dont think its gonna happen. I needed to gauge interest before the shop would order em. But they cant get em now so i guess we are still SOL. I'll keep workin for em tho...
